Battleship Videogame Announced and Screens

Activision Publishing and Hasbro have announced that the Battleship videogame, a stand-alone story from Universal Pictures' upcoming epic action-adventure of the same name, will be available this May. Inspired by the classic naval strategy game, Battleship combines naval strategy simulation with first-person shooter gameplay. Players fend off the enemy beachside while ordering attacks against their marine counterparts. Seamlessly switching between battlefield and overview "Battle Command" map, the Hasbro game is brought to life as carriers, frigates, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and the legendary USS Missouri Battleship pummel the enemy in a race to strategic points that turn the tide of battle. The Battleship videogame is developed by Double Helix for Xbox 360 and PS3, and by Magic Pockets for Wii, DS and 3DS. Five screenshots found their way in our gallery.
