    The ultimate battle game to ever hit the PC. So many of us enjoyed playing the original version; well I promise you that the original, though fun, was tame compared to this.

    Classic naval strategy with a twist. The entire presentation of the Classic Battleship mode could have been put together a little better, but the Arcade mode provides a solid action-packed alternative to the standard board game.

    It's the arcade mode that drives this game home, and even though it's as deep as a stack of good Jaguar games, it's still fun to play.

    The trite design mentality glorified by this product will preclude stuffier members of the public from appreciating its finer virtues, but screw the tightwads.

    While the game is good overall, the traditional Battleship board game still holds its own as the best.

    Unfortunately, in the end, not even the inclusion of the classic version of Battleship is enough to save this pointless game.

    Unfortunately, in opposition to the title, the game offers little "thunder."

    Unfortunately, the arcade game is neither unique nor exciting. It's probably best to save your spare change for better things.
