I really liked the game, I liked using the plane to find out where the others would have their boats. I didn't like it when the computer would get stuck, we usually stopped playing when that happened. It was really cool that I had to place my hands to confirm my shots, I was in control. Computers are amazing.

This game is hardly like Battleship at all. It's really fun to play but you have to concentrate the whole time to know what you need to do. I love electronic games so I really like it. I like that you can do all sorts of things like sending a spy plane to find which zone the ships are in. I also like that you can move the ships. It's a very long game- it takes about 45 minutes to play one game.

This game is another version of the clasic board game of Battleship. Instead of only being able to call where you want to fire, this game has submarine mistles attack planes and mines. I found this game very fun when I first started playing it, however after a few rounds, the game malfunctioned and became a broken record. Although the idea of having an electronic board game is cool, this game was not as reliable as its original. Once we got into the game again, I had a good time, but I prefer the original.

I lost the main battleship so the game doesn't work, even if you have the rest. I like that you can figure out how to play it by playing the tutorial, instead of reading the instructions.

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.

Such a cool game! Us adults have enjoyed it as much (if not more!) than the kids! We found that if the lighting was off somehow (too bright on one side, or too dim) then there were some glitches but once we moved the board, it cleared it up. The only thing I dislike about this game is the fact that there's no ability to interact with each other (you can't really talk) because you need to concentrate on the instructions.

I watched my son play a few times with different friends and each time the game itself had a "glitch", which would have caused the boys to have to start over. In both cases they chose to simply put the game away. They did enjoy playing while things were functioning. The instructions were a bit slow sometimes and patience was needed while playing. Also, the board needed to stay set up properly in order to function and it would sometimes fall apart. The game would stop and ask to be fixed…that was cute, but the boys found it a bit frustrating. The added concepts of air strikes and such did add some interest. I personally enjoy the simplicity and the learning opportunity presented with the original battleship game over this version.

My kids enjoy playing with this Battleship game more than any other version, by far. The interactivity is more than just bells and whistles--they also make the game more exciting.
The only downside is the time spent putting it together makes it less likely that they will just impulsively pick it up and start playing. The large pieces also make it a little awkward to put away between games.
