Videogame Review, Battleship for the Phillips CD-i

Gruesome, albeit violent and for mature audiences only.  Battleship is the classic hit-and-scratch game where you sink battleships over the ocean although the Phillips CD-i version takes it to a graphic, more visual level with intense stereo effects along with old black-and-white footage (perhaps from World War 2) so you can hit your enemy ships with gross ideas as well as sadistic philosophy.  Don’t mistaken the game for a children’s program.  This CD-i game is not for children at all!  I’ve almost wet my pants from the theater of war known as the ocean battle between ships upon mysterious locations under and around the sea towards brittle fire and missiles equipped by sailors who may eventually drown someday because of the general onslaught of violence among oceanic fleets; the sounds of war are as old as the hills despite the various changes in tune according to conflict and misinformation beyond the measure of common sense, so you’ll be getting into the red and white squares as indicated on your oceanic map which can’t locate a ship until it’s sunk completely down in the crystal blue pixels.  A battleship program like this one I just recommend for people who’d already started high school or taken a serious, albeit moral, history class: footage on the brink, sounds could kill your ears to the struggle of silence, reminding me of American Civil War reenactments where my family settled for picnics of fresh grapes and dumb cheese, yet Battleship does remark on violence through enough plausible representation to get at battleship wars between the whispering and gurgling waves, maybe around the Pacific or some other ocean.  Controls accentuate those visuals upon shaky grounds or aquatic lands by possible destinations as pressed into through buttons which only demand guided input and generous output.  Question marks shown on each screen make use of the Phillip CD-i’s intention of educating you on how gameplay works however mature individuals enter their input and output out of original gameplay, then, with hitting each question mark with a floating PC-arrow-like symbol, Battleship generally demands more patience in the sense of learning but not in the sense of fragmented downloads which impede on your precious moments; in fact, from hitting the far right action button instead of your first two action buttons behind it more towards the loose and accurate direction pad, you can skip animations although they’re not that lengthy even if you choose to watch them for destructive information.  At this point in my review, it’s important to tell readers why my wording sounds so grotesque and arrogant with some possible voices that can be used for reading my literature out loud- 1) it’s probably because you hate reading at times and thus your voice makes my review sound inappropriate, and 2) war, or the topic of war, can’t be expressed without arrogance because arrogance, like the behaviors exhibited by soldiers and marines in documentary-like footage on Battleship, is the footprint or resourceful psychology to what’s needed of deathly circumstances among real acts of war against enemies who, basically, can hurt your feelings just to see you squirm in the battlefields.  War isn’t friendly and that’s why Battleship, because it shows violence and destruction going on when alarms are sounding off the TV in scary effects and sailors are drowning or being rescued by enemies who will make them prisoners of war, can’t possibly be for anyone who hasn’t been to high school yet.  Saying here is profound and I’m expressing doubt as to what exact age this battleship program is meant for and I’d say… 16 years and up.  Most certainly you can work at a business with a permit at age 16 in California.  You won’t be drinking alcohol at 16 years of age, but at least you won’t be drunk enough to confuse the violence for happiness which becomes apparent from my friend and her former lover named Don (who happened to be a war veteran before he died but didn’t keep up with his militaristic personality and turned to the bottle to forget responsibility/harsh life).  Gameplay in Battleship is original since it’s a harsher, nastier shade of fiction compared to the Battleship board games and you can actually aggravate and feel from the war program until you’re shaken up into mild, mature humor if not downright disgust.  Like I’ve said: mature audiences only, not for the faint of heart.
