Product Description
The classic naval combat game now comes in a hand-held format for cool electronic action. Choose automatic or manual programming of your fleet’s position! Three different skill levels, electronic sound effects and automatic scoring all enliven the action!Editorial Review
You can’t yell, “You sunk my battleship!” at your opponent in this version of Battleship, because the adversary is a palm-size computer. There are 5 ships–just like in the standard full-size game–to position strategically on the tiny but remarkably easy-to-see display. Choose auto or manual positioning and skill level, then bombs away! Hits and misses are tracked alternately on the 9- by 10-inch square grid for you and your electronic rival. Three different games require different naval maneuvers to score the most points. Just see if you can stay afloat and sink all of the computer’s battleships at skill level 3. –Lynne Sampson

This game is fun but, it does get boring on long vacation trips. The durability is good, yet I wouldn’t say to drop it every where you go. And educational value, well I really don’t see any educational value in this game except where to line up your ships.

Very fun if you’re a battleship fan.. the other two modes and other skill levels is a nice touch. The only complaint I have is that the sound effects rather suck.

The computer intelligence is quite poor. For e.g. there have been times when it attempts to locate lets say my battleship (a ship that requires 4 hits) in an area where only a ship that requires 2 or 3 hits can be located. This should not be really. The computer’s attempt at locating ships seems to be purely random.

Approach this game as an educational experience, and you will be disappointed. It is a one-player time-consumer, nothing more. However, if you keep that in mind, it can be lots of fun. I have played mine for almost a year, and I have enjoyed trying the different modes of play and the different patterns. I have found that the computer really does have an almost limitless choice for ship locations, which keeps the game fresh and fun!
