The attention to detail to ensure that the experience mimics the real one requires as closely as possible requires a dedicated amount of attention. It seems easy to grab that focused attention from a gamer on the PC, but on the console, it becomes more difficult, possibly due to the game console and television being more social experiences in comparison to a personal computer. While there are exceptions, such as racing simulators, most simulation games stick with the PC as the preferred platform. That doesn't stop a few developers from trying to break the mold. There have only been two attempts to put a submarine simulator on a console: Silent Service for the NES and 688 Attack Sub for the Sega Genesis, both ports of PC games that did fairly well in their respective eras."
Meodia.com reviews the Submarine based game Naval Assult: The Killing Tide;
"In short the game is an ugly, painful to listen to, boring, frustrating, cheating, glitchy mess which only the most die-die submarine fan would ever think of picking up. Avoid this game at all costs captain."

With the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty hangover in full swing, only two games were brave enough to take on the RTS juggernaut for consumers' time and money this week. The first, Naval Assault: The Killing Tide, is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and lets players assume command of an American submarine during World War II. The second game, My First Trainz Set, aims to bring the locomotive simulation franchise to a younger audience, and allows budding train drivers to make tracks around the house.
Early August is set to be a quiet period with barely a trickle of games coming out, but things are expected to pick up around August 19 with the release of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days and Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies.
