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

Product Description

Hold entire navies in the palm of your hand! Then deploy your classified strategy to hunt down and sink enemy ships. You can program your fleet's position, or the computer will do it for you. Challenge yourself at 3 skill levels, day or night, anywhere you go! Exciting sound effects charge up the action, and scoring is automatic. Battery included. For one player.

This review is from: Electronic Hand Held Battleship (Toy)

This hand held, battery already included, Electronic Battleship is fantastic to play- right through the protective plastic covering - which I figure is a great way to save on wear and tear hours. It is a great challenge to the mind game because once you start competing with the computer, you become addicted to figuring out how to place your ships on the grid to trick it. Math calculating and strategy skills are definitely a part of this game.The three different skill levels allow you to begin at a primary level and work your way to learning the most advanced, thus it is appropriate for all ages - which means it is acceptable for the entire family. And being able to place your ships yourself makes the game that many more times interesting and exciting. Or, you can choose for the game to place your ships automatically, which adds even more possible ways to play. Having the three different strategy types of games is new to me - what an eye opener, to give each side more than the regular one hit each. You can decide to play game two, where, if you get a "hit" you win an extra turn, what a way to get one up on the computer! Or, you can choose game three and take multiple turns each time, then your opponent (the computer) takes their full share, ...back and forth. And you can hear the special sound effects loud and clear, which adds fun to the game, especially as you listen to the "sinking ship eulogy." :) As you may be able to tell by my exhaustive yet very sincere enthusiasm, I spent a few hours of non-stop playing as soon as the game arrived, then I had to turn it over to my children to enjoy. This hand held electronic Battleship will definitely be a great vacation travel companion for our family! And its size and durability is perfect to drop into a beach bag and carry with you to enjoy while relaxing in the sun and watching the surf.

When I first got this toy for Christmas I didn't think much of it. But when I played it once it was hard to put it down. It was perfect for the long rides in the car.

I have looked at some other hand held electronic games, and this is one of the best. It's small, durable and, for anyone who used to play the regular game when they were younger, this is a LOT of fun! The computer is quite hard to beat, I should add. It seems to get a lot of "lucky" breaks. All in all a good and inexpensive game!
