Each arcade mission emphasizes a different tactic: command your own battleship and sink enemy convoys, bombard shore gun emplacements, or free captured ports in an all-out effort to defeat a renegade empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected, May 3, 2001

By 

David Eugene Finley (Palm Springs, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Battleship 2: Surface Thunder (CD-ROM)

In light of the two previous reviews, I did not expect much.

However, I was pleasantly suprised. This game runs GREAT on my puter, a Compaq 7588, with a Pentium 3 processor. It did not run choppy or bad.

(I am a bit jazzed, as I loved the Board game while I was growing up.)

But to me, this game runs as smooth as silk, and has some good sound and visual effects.

It may also help if you run it on DIRECT X 8 instead of 7.0. I have 8.0, and it runs perfectly on my machine with no hangs or glitches.

If you play against the CPU, I have found action to be very fast and challenging.

All and all, a good game for true Battleship fans.
