If Naval Assault had been a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade title, it would have been easy to forgive a lot of its shortcomings. Unfortunately, it's not; it looks like a last-gen game, with some of the worst sound design and music I've seen in a retail release, no mid-mission checkpoints, and most importantly, not much to hold one's interest for more than a few fleeting moments.

A disappointment all around. Fans of the genre will scoff at the visuals and simplicity, while more casual players will grow bored of its tedious missions and slow-paced gameplay.

Forget this Killing Tide (you can, in fact, die by boredom) and look for a more exciting war sim (Battlestation should do the trick).

Pretty simple yet kinda **** fun to sink ships and shoot down planes. There are very few submarine games out ****'s more for casual gamers. Worth the 5 bucks I paid for it.

Really boring bits. [Issue#63, p.91]

The idea of publishing a submarine game for a console was as attractive as dangerous. Sadly, Naval Assault is disappointing, failing in almost everything it tries to accomplish.

Truly "sub"-standard. [Aug 2010, p.105]

This would have been a shoddy effort as an Xbox Live Arcade title, but seeing it on a store shelf is less of a salute to the military's naval forces, and more of a slap in their faces.
