As a spur of the moment thing yesterday morning I purchased Battleship from EA. I decided to ignore the reviews stating the wifi and BT features weren't working well... loaded it up, got my Mom loaded up and headed to Disney for a few hours.
My Dad and I started playing - it took 2 tries to get the BT to stay connected, but once it was there for the whole game. I was in the 3rd row of the van, he was in the passenger seat up front. It was a good game - came down to one shot for both of us, each of us had a 50/50 shot of winning. I won!!!!! The animations in the game make it fun - and you can see where they are pondering and aiming as they fire. I kept waiting for the middle child to lean over and say, "Gee, that was close!" and give it away - but I got lucky and she kept her mouth close! LOL!!
We finished about as we got on Property at Disney (the long way because of a Turnpike mess). It was a fun way to play a classic in the car. Honestly, it beat the travel sets and all the little pins going everywhere. The only thing I ran into was that it seemed to drain my battery - but my Mom's Touch is the same one and it didn't take the hit. Both were fully charged at the start. My case is thicker in spots - so maybe the BT had to work harder? Not sure.
All in all, if you are looking for something fun and easy enough for the younger set, give it a go! OH and you can do pass and play too - you don't have to have 2 devices for it to work.
Now if only EA would add a way to play online with friends not on your local net. There is Facebook for playing Scrabble, which is cool - but that doesn't help you play with non-FB friends and family.
OK. Dinner time! (Sweet & Sour meatballs if you are interested!)
Battleship, $2.99 
Scrabble, $4.99
