Product Description

The iconic naval battle game BATTLESHIP, reloads on Kindle!

In the classic board game BATTLESHIP, two players place 5 ships onto a grid hidden from their opponent. Each player then selects one of their opponents grid coordinates to attack. If part of an opponent ship is on that grid coordinate, it takes a hit. Once all the spaces a ship occupies have been hit, the ship sinks. Sink all of your opponent's ships and you win.

In BATTLESHIP for Kindle, play in the classic game mode as well as two new game modes; Salvo, and Super-weapons. In Salvo, you get to make as many attacks per turn as you have ships remaining. In Super-weapons mode, you can launch strikes that create devastating patterns with multiple shots in a single attack. Demonstrate strategic and tactical skills to unlock new Super-weapons and improve your rank from Seaman to fully-fledged Admiral.

Play solo, or with a friend in Pass 'n' Play mode, and discover the new fun in this timeless game.

Excellent! December 16, 2011

Downloaded fine to my Kindle Keyboard, instructions were clear, board looks good! No problems playing any of the three modes. Call me Lieutenant, and that's a Ma'am, yes, Ma'am. ;) A childhood favorite brought back to life with some extra bells and whistles. Love the option to manually move my ships where I want them or leave them where the AI places them. Strategy is everything in a game like this; It's chess with boats. The super weapons are a nice addition, and the wait-time for them to recharge seems to go by fairly fast. Turns happen quickly as well. It's fun to watch the AI move around looking for my ships. Love the positive reinforcement comment at the end of the losing game! The sense of humor is an added bonus. There is a lot of value in this game with the three levels of play. Highly recommend it!

I'm smiling!

I loved to play the old board game version of Battleship when I was a kid many years ago. Since then I've played it in a number of electronic versions, but the Kindle is a perfect platform for this game. The 5-way controller is all you need to choose where to attack the enemy ships, and the monochrome graphics are excellent for displaying the ship locations.

You can play the Classic or the Salvo version. I prefer the Classic version, where you have one attack per turn. There are nine superweapons you can use, but only three are available at the start of the game - the others you can earn by sinking ships. Be careful how you use superweapons, since they take several turns to recharge after using one.

There is also a Pass n' Play version for two players, but I've had fun playing the solitaire version with the game's AI providing a tough adversary.

If you think Battleship is old hat, just wait until both you and the enemy are down to one ship, and you're both probing, desperately trying to find the enemy before they find you.

One of my my gripes with other Battleship games (video, different consoles) is when you hit an enemy, they always find you shortly thereafter. In the Kindle Battleship, it is a real delight to have irregular patterns of "revenge" by the computer. In other words, just because you hit the enemy ship, doesn't mean it will zap your ships right back. They also do a very nice job of scattering their shots and don't persistently hit the same areas (unless they find you, then they logically search for you in that area. And YES, they do miss while they're searching, just like you do.) The best I've done? The enemy only sank ONE of my 3 square boats! Yippee! The worst? He nailed my PT boat right away, and two others within seven shots. OUCH. So the computer will keep you on your toes.

I love the Salvo- you get the same number of hits as you have ships. As your ships get sunk, the number of shots you have is reduced. I do agree with the reviewer that says it is a big change having the ships outlined to the side and you KNOW which one you hit- but I LIKE that. You don't have to look at it, and can put an index card over that area if you don't want to see it. It's a nice option to have, if you want it, it's there.

Another thing I like- the placement of ships. If you use the five way button and click Automatic, the ships will rearrange themselves. Keep clicking until you get a setup you somewhat like, then move the cursor to MANUAL and scoot the ships to where you want them. It's much faster :)

One con I do see is that the enemy often has a tendency to cluster the ships too close together. Not always, but fairly often. So you get in the habit of checking for clustering. It still doesn't help finding that pesky little PT boat though! Even with clustering fairly often, it's often a tight race to win- you will NOT regret buying this game. I own almost ALL the Kindle games and this one is hands down my favorite. (Other goodies-If you like word games, Panda Poet (don't laugh) and Shuffled Row are also fun. Panda Poet isn't timed, whereas Shuffled Row makes you hustle and is NOT relaxing- good for a change of pace. Ken-Ken will appeal to numbers folks, my hubby can't put that series down once he starts! Frankly, I started getting addicted to it too- just as an "adviser" though.)

The Pass And Play is really nice too- once you take your shot and the results are shown, the screen will come on and say to pass it (and your location is already hidden, and so is the opponents.) They have to push a button to activate the screen for their use. Very nice feature!

I'm the Fleet Admiral (top rank) after sinking 350 ships, and it says a lot that I found it enjoyable to keep changing my strategies and see how I fared. I'm hooked! You can't go wrong getting this game in my opinion. Would recommend too getting the Versa light for the Kindle DX (around $20) as you can then play in darkened conditions too. Happy gaming!
