AceCool4youAug 8, 2006PC Gamer gave this 61%. I read the 1up review and agree with them. The game is far too limited, and gets boring after half hour. Only six maps thats very small compared to other games of this type.

Black_KnightOct 30, 2006Terrible game, just get's worse every time you play it. After you get the hang of where to look for good weapons nobody is playing, it's one of the worst games out there.

RobertS.Oct 31, 2006A truly uninspiring game experience. The lack of players makes this a non even in multiplayer. I was kicked from a server and had to wait 1 hour before I could get back in. Go spend your dosh on something that is better then this.

Oct 6, 2010To be completely honest, what a load of ship.

LoveC.Oct 30, 2006The only thing I can compare this game is to paint drying. I spent $20 on this crappy game which nobody is playing online. The single player can be completed in 2 hours or less.

Dec 11, 2012Ranks in my worst 5 games of all time. The concept is good but in practice it just does not work. People do not "role play" and because of this they just run around all the time. It's just not fun.

May 15, 2014A hunk of junk. The graphics are inexcusably bad. Terrible, they look like 1991. I saw better looking games on N64. The gameplay mechanics are also bad. This game made me wanna throw up it was so ugly.

SageMasterP.Oct 30, 2006This game can be completed in just over an hour in single player mode. The multi-player game if you can find anyone to play is not that exciting. The gameplay is limited and the novelty will wear off after a few goes. I had to wait over an hour before I could join another round which is not fun at all. I would not recommend this game.

JamieAMOct 5, 2006I won't give it a 1, but no more then a two, after half - an - hour you're wondering what happened to that 20 bucks... someone said a $20 demo... it really really is, would of been a great Single Player if we could get some story-line, someone screwed up, Yeah me for buying it...sad sad day, Sorry Steam try again!

OrnellaMutiAug 5, 2006An already dated game that I simply did not enjoy playing. I found the shallow gameplay came across as far too simplistic for my tastes. At least this was a budget purchase through 'Steam' and not what I would consider to be full price. I guess you really do get what you pay for.

DavidArnoldAug 8, 2006Having played the original HL1 version I was really keen to get this. The main concern is that whilst it boasts lots of good ideas, they don

AshleyW.Nov 3, 2006Graphics not very good. Game play ok but objective is to assassinate the person you are assigned to. Other players can kill whomever they want and do so. Makes objectives useless.

JackT.Oct 30, 2006One of the most boring multiplayer games on the market today! Nobody is playing it.

RPMK-ZONEOct 30, 2006Very average game indeed. Poor graphics, poor gameplay. Multi-player has only a few people playing I mean under 15 players!

StephenA.Aug 14, 2006This game has some good game play but not a lot its boring to play i wasted 19$ just for that? what a rip off.

FirewalkerAug 15, 2006This MOD is not very good. It has goofy animation and clumsy animations that look silly. The needs system is confusing and very bland. The levels are boring and the few severs that are around have people just walking about not really knowing what to do. Overall a waste of money.

TeamHunterKillerAug 8, 2006Team Fortress 2 will be a better game as this is not as good. The graphics are ok, a bit too dark but this is on purpose as it is vey basic. Trying to get the bigger maps to work but it is impossible to get working. The maps are very same in design and too many toilets instead of rooms with weapons.

PeterG.Jan 22, 2007This game didn't work out. After playing a few times it becomes completely stupid; it's too simple, too boring and has barely any challenge. Nice try anyways.

EmmanuelV.Aug 2, 2007The most annoying game I've ever played.

JackPayneNov 2, 2006I think when they made this game they put it in the stupid mold and threw in some extra dumb juice! I thought the idea was kind of neet, but I got bored with in five minutes. I played the free trial version on Steam. Even for a demo, I was disappointed. I wouldn't reccommend this game.

MajorTomOct 20, 2006A dodo of a game. It wonâ??t be around for long, only 10 people are playing even after retail. Single player has no hope to it too and has to be restarted several times due to gameplay bugs, I finished this game in 3 hours?????? Complete waste of time and money, oh yes it looks pretty drab too, do they know how to make good art?

JCCollinsAug 10, 2006This game is a rip off. They are going to patch it a couple of times then release 'The Ship 2' as a more stable build with bug fixes and a couple of new maps. WHAT A CON! They could not get it right the first time, why would we buy this crap again?

MariangelaM>Aug 8, 2006The Ship is a really boring game. The graphics are average and the ideas sort of work but they are very confusing. Not worth the money as it lacks single player mode.
-
-
TomK.Aug 8, 2006This is not the finished full game. I would wait for the boxed version as It has more play modes and has some bugs and new maps fixed.

MichaelL.Sep 11, 2006Interesting idea on the surface but I found myself getting frustrated with the Ship after a while. I am not sure I like the look of the game compared to other ones out there. I am not too angry as this is a budget title. Also found that the servers were quite empty and it was difficult finding players.

Mr.DeeSep 29, 2006For Gods sake don't watse your money on this game, it plays like a $19 demo.

ToddB.Feb 11, 2007One of the worst games ever. It has nice graphics and I guess and somewhat original idea but its boring and overly simple. There is no climax you just walk around a ship and slowly kill people, it takes no skill. I'd rather play Super Mario.

JasonAug 26, 2007Its a good game but the SP was just a wast of time MP is good going around trying to kill someone while someone is trying to kill you.
-
-
DaleU.Dec 1, 2006I'm thinking the positive reviews are from people that have either not played the game or are simply paid to be positive. The game is just complete crap and is far from what I would call a commercial game.

BabinM.Jul 29, 2006Idea is good but no one seems to play this game on internet... Interest don't last for long...

EmasculataAug 15, 2006I do not agree with some of these reviews. The game is balnd and lacks any fun even when you do get on a server that works. Terrible graphics too.

AscensionAug 15, 2006I bought this game and It does not work properly, I keep falling trough the decks and the doors jam players into the side walls. Donâ??t think this game has been tested just released to make a quick buck and con people.

SalusaSecundusAug 15, 2006If I had bought this game via a shop I would have taken it back straight away. The game is flawed by hundreds of bugs, it does not even load the title page correctly on any setting. Did anyone test this? I think not, save yourself the hassle and buy a game that works!

MonCalamriAug 29, 2006Not that good really. Nice music.

TomSep 17, 2006It is BLATANTLY apparent that this metascore is TOTALLY BEING SKEWED to push a higher rating on a game STEAM includes in their opening for sale.
Notice the most generic names like "Carmen G." and "Mason E." that all give 10s with a dopey one-liner.
SHAME ON YOU AND STEAM LOSES A POINT IN RESPECT. -

TheGodfatherAug 15, 2006Dissapointing.. I downloaded it yesturday and was looking forward 2 play it when i got back from school. What a dissapointment!, almost no one plays it, hard 2 get into , Boorng gameplay, outdated graphics, fair sounds... And so little maps... Not impressive. Gave it a 3. 20§ out of nowhere.. Dont buy it!

SandmoonGirlAug 8, 2006Far too many bugs cripple this game. Other steam games look better and play better. Not sure if this is worth the money as there are not many servers running and most of them are full. No single player makes this a very boring experience. The maps are very basic and lack any detail. Very disappointed.

Awards & Rankings
-
The Ship is a fresh and different slant on multiplayer death-matching; one not dependant on speed of reflexes and advanced techniques. It’s fun and innovative – something that some of the big name games dominating the charts seem to forget about every so often.
-
While it may not be the refined, leisurely paced kill-'em-up many eager landlubbers might have signed up for, The Ship does quickly prove itself a subtly addictive, relentless nail biter that will only get better as those already aboard learn to rule the bloody waves. Notch this one up as another killer for Steam.
-
The Ship's mixture of intrigue, subtlety, and cunning makes it the perfect recipe for gamers bored with same-old same-old multiplayer shooters, but it does tend to show its indie roots a little too clearly here and there.
