Despite a few electronic glitches, our testers raved about how much they love playing this new tower controlled electronic Battleship game. Like earlier Electronic Battleship games, this one is accompanied by urgent battle sounds. What's different, is the centre tower with its Motion Vision Play technology (an infrared motion detection and control system) that controls the game, keeping track of each players options, hidden mines, etc. It also introduces a number of random events during the game - like a Tsunami wave or a sudden typhoon. As well, it gives each of your ships a special power - like your battleship with its cruise missile that can sink a ship with just one hit. You can use each power only once during the game, the question is when best to use it? Wait too long and your opponent may well sink your ship and its unused special power with it.
Our favourite feature is the spy plane which soars along the oval track into enemy territory where it...
The spy plane is awesome, I can use one of my turns to send it over to the other side and it will tell me if there are boats in a certain sector - that way I can contain my torpedoes in that area. I like that you move your canon yourself to attack and not just say ransom letters. Oh and there are no little white or red pegs to loose. I like that I put my hands on the 2 confirm pads it's like in the movies or something. This game has strategy and the extra powers your boats have is great. Andrew (M9)
It is a more "civilized" way of playing Battleship; you can't cheat for one thing. The computer knows it all! I like that you can move your ships, and the special powers each ship has is pretty fun. The little surprises that the computer throws at us make the game more interesting, we don't have any control about what is going to happen. Oh and I won against my dad this morning. Great way to start the day! Geneviève (F11)
The computer aspect of this game is really neat, unfortunately there are a few glitches and when it got stuck we needed to restart the game, that was not so much fun. The game needed to be dismantled every time and after a few games it was starting to show wear and tear, but it was such a novel way of playing that it was a family favorite. Marie-Lise Hache
