The two remaining campaigns feature a cruise liner (here, "extreme" means size rather than speed) and a series of tugboat and action missions. Some missions allow you to use your dinghy's water cannon, an uncontrollable jet of justice-bringing H2O, while sometimes you'll be avoiding the water cannons of others. Ostensibly, these missions see you unmooring (by clicking on your moor points until all the ropes disappear) before sailing off to sea, finding whatever evil corporations are dumping oil on seabirds that day, chasing them for a while with your dinghy until they're embarrassed enough to stop, and then sailing home for some quorn and a nap. The campaigns focus at first on the exploits of Greenpeace activists, the tirelessly meddling but well-meaning protectors of the ocean. There are a couple of races, to be fair, but nothing too taxing - we are still, sadly, comfortably inside the realms of the mundane. What we have are relative extremes which, when you consider that the original Ship Simulator set "floating in a straight line" as a thrilling standard, aren't nearly as exciting as you'd hope.

So what have we got with Ship Simulator Extremes? Bomb-defusal on the Titanic? Bond-grade stunt runs with ramps and explosions? A mission to discreetly ferry drugs and hookers on to a presidential yacht? None of these, really. Sure, your heart might skip a beat as your prow gingerly strokes the edge of a jetty, you might even have gasped in mild horror as another ship came within one hundred metres of your own, but there was nothing in Ship Simulator 2008 that could honestly be described as "extreme". One of the criticisms levied against 2008's seminal Ship Simulator 2008 was that, despite the plethora of pilotable floaters, the several sailable oceans, the numerous docks and the faithfully recreated waterways, boating just wasn't "extreme" enough.
