Advantages: Larg storage, large and clear screen. In-built fm transmitter, ebooks, long battery life Disadvantages: Very buggy software, often frustrating, unresponsive without updates
The stylish box that holds the Onda VX787 partially reassured me that I had bought well. As I open the box the player itself looks stylish but maybe a bit large. However a large touchscreen makes using the interface easier. As I hold down the power button I am greted with a nice opening animation however what then is shown to me is largely dissapointing. The default settings on the player for background and language are in chinese and the chosen background is ghastly. However after changing these settings the player looks good.
I try to use the player but find it very frustrating as the touchscreen is very slow and unresponsive. I almost began to think that my player was broken. However I then used the internet to update my player. Once I had done this I was much happier with the player. Transfer of files onto the player is very simple ...

Advantages: Price, Compatibility, Durable Disadvantages: Chinese player, interface difficult to use at first
Introduction
I received my Onda VX777LE about 2 months ago from China - now don't be put off by the fact that it's from so far away when thinking about buying it - choose a reputable seller and you'll be fine! My player came with free postage and packing too so it wasn't hugely expensive to get posted to me! I did, however, get postal insurance on it for about £5, just in case.
Before buying this product, I did plenty of research watching different reviews on this player on youtube - don't be fooled by the name, I found out that the VX777 and the VX777LE are two VERY DIFFERENT players, with completely different interfaces.
First Impressions
The VX777LE came in a pretty box with 2 compartments - one with the player and one with the other bits (usb cable, heaphones, instructions etc). Unfortunately, the instructions were ...

Advantages: Superb graphics, great sound/voice overs, interesting missions, and very complex Disadvantages: Needs a lot of patience, difficult AI, slow movement of graphics, and no multiplayer
The first submarine simulation game I played when I was a kid and despite its retro status, I still find myself playing it once in a while. Even though I mainly played the Amiga version when I was a kid, the Mega Drive version is literally the same and I'm currently trying it out again years later through an emulator.
Plotline
Taking place during the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union. 688 Attack Sub uses the what if scenarios and shows the worst what could have happened all those years ago. Starting from minor threats between the two countries and eventually turning into a world war.
Gameplay
The entire interface gives you that instant feeling that you're inside a submarine and in total command. As you can see from one of my pictures, there are several stations that need to be commanded and waiting for orders ...
