“You sank my battleship!!!”
Hopefully this just-released game from Universal Pictures actually involves someone screaming those four words – if not, then they’ve seriously missed out on a perfect opportunity to bring in the whole Battleship board game vibe. In support of the May 18th launch of Battleship in theaters, the studio has created a social game based on the film called Battleship: The Battle for Earth. The game uses the 3D assets from the movie as well as sound effects, music, and clips, according to Universal Pictures.
Here’s the game details: “Fans have the option to play as either Humans or alien Regents and points are tracked on both sides to unlock exclusive clips from the film. Place your ships, take your turn and fire! A direct hit is accompanied by on-screen explosions on the 3D board. Challenge a friend, or start a game against a random player. Get ready to sink your opponent in this ultimate game of Battleship on Facebook!”
