Launch a missile and you're treated to a short fmv sequence showing it taking off. Pencil and paper Complimenting the advances in gameplay, Hasbro have filled the game with state-of-the-art presentation techniques. You can even form alliances with other players (which naturally can be broken whenever is most opportune - hey, all's fair in war and war). Because the action is also in realtime, gone is the problem of waiting for your turn to arrive before you can retaliate. The level of challenge is increased with the option for up to four players to battle it out over a network or Internet server. Basically Hasbro have done for Battleship what Nihilist (reviewed last issue) did for Asteroids. Mission objectives range from the simple total annihilation of your enemy to the more challenging problem of capturing islands, escorting convoys and recovering satellites. Islands, oil rigs and dockyards help with reinforcements and fuel problems. Multiple types of weapons, aircraft, helicopters, awacs radars and submarines help you plan out a strategy. Now you can move your fleet around, launch aircraft from your carriers to go on scouting or bombing missions, intercept missiles and so on.Īt your disposal is much more than the simple missile.

The basic principles are still the same - find your enemy and sink him, but added to this is a much deeper understanding of naval warfare. Thus Hasbro's Battleship has been totally revamped, from the ground up. In this age of high technology, it simply wouldn't be enough to just give you a digital version of what's little more than a guessing game.
