I mean lets be honest there was not much of a story in the movie either. It really was an awful board game to movie to game translation. Maybe that is the real problem. They tried to make a garbage movie off of an irrelevant board game while being fully ready to milk that cow with a video game that has nothing to do with the original board game.

That moment when the Wii version of a video game based on a popular franchise is more faithful to said popular franchise than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions
Battleship the Movie the Game is one of the strangest games I've seen. You'd think they'd make a battleship strategy game based on the board game, but no. A full team of professionals, all agreed and said, “Yeah, let's make Battleship into an FPS.”
*A full team of suits I've been in game dev a while, trust me we don't get a say a lot of the time :/ you get your bit to make and the spec to make it to, the rest is decided by people vastly out of touch
Double Helix Games, the developer of this game is also makes Silent Hill: Homecoming, Green Lantern and GI Joe: Rise of The Cobra when they finally made actually good games like Killer Instinct and Strider, Amazon bought them MMO New World is their latest game
@@titlasagna2172 no, im fine with most of them, even downpour like RE, you can ignore most of enemies, its survival horror, they dont encourage combat to save the resources but Homecoming forces player to fight, you cant outrun most of them
I remember hiring this game specifically to get the "easy" platinum trophy on PS3. It was such a slog but the final mission was killer. Surviving waves of enemies, running out of ammo just hoping that my """strategic battleship placement""" would randomly generate me a victory.
@Rocky Montana Garcia mayne It's telling the story of an anime that spanned almost 20 years. That's one reason lol. I actually enjoy long rpg games I can grind. I love playing final fantasy and overlevelling for the whole game.
Oh there's a story, Jarek. It runs concurrently with the movie. And that's it. Also, we shouldn't give Double Helix the boots, they did redeem themselves with Killer Instinct 3.
@@monkaWGiga It's true, we should not give them shit. They were given a set amount of time to make this game and they had to do it. Then when Capcom and Microsoft said, Hey want to make a game were we give you the time needed for development! Well not Capcom and Microsoft at the same time but you get what I mean.
This game was my first ever Playstation Platinum Trophy. £2 used copy off Amazon. Easy trophies and I had a fun afternoon with it. So I remember it fondly.
Performance was a lot better on ps3, the game was a solid "meh" really. It actually has concept art and it seems they had more maps and such planned for it that got cut, even an AUG rifle. If the battleship control gimmick was expanded more it might be better.
@@EggBlunt idk what you ever did to your ps3 then or in what condition the disc was but I literally never had a single crash or lags like in the video while playing and finished the game 2 times.
6:23 This was the most distracting issue for me. A Nimitz-class CVN draws 37 feet of water. That carrier is lucky if she has five feet below her keel, there are _fishing boats_ that would have trouble where she is in that shot.
Looks like a game by a competent studio that had to cramp the whole production into like 4 months; or whatever the timeline was way too tight for the studio capacity.
Man I definitely don't miss that era around 2010-2013 when the market was flooded with generic 5 hour long Call of Duty-esque modern military shooters, made by some second rate dev studio and published by either Activision or THQ. Oh that was also the era of Kinect and the whole motion controls gimmick nobody gave a shit about, lol. God damn what an awful time for gaming
@@blankmoment2 Oh yeah I definitely agree mate. Gaming is pretty much the worst its ever been. I remember in like the late 2000s you would have several amazing games release each year. Now we are lucky to get a single game in a year that is actually half decent.
what sucks is that this game has some good ideas. an fps with some battleship elements sounds pretty fun and actually a change of pace from other shooters. just a crappy execution
"How does a game based on the movie have no story" Well, I think it's probably because that movie has no story too... Like I saw it when I was younger and I think it was just action sequences and I think maybe a cameo from Obama.(I might be thinking of a scene of another generic action movie though)
Yes Obama had a small cameo just to say some vague things about staying safe from the aliens (or something like that) and since he was the president at the time, why not just have him play the president. Also, there was just enough plot for it to be considered a movie. Even the Nostalgia Critic made a review of it.
I remember back in the 360 era this was one of my favourite games. I lost this disk ages ago so not sure how I would find it now but if you asked me a while back I would have said it was top tier (although the ship battles were definitely better in my head than gameplay wise)
Seeing you tackle all these sci-fi FPS movie tie-in games now makes me want to see you tackle the 2005 starship troopers FPS game. I've actually recently been replaying it and I found it surprisingly fun and enjoyable, despite the clear low budget and repetitiveness in some missions. There's a lot of missions that really encapsulate what you'd want from a starship troopers game; you and an army of troopers defending an outpost/base against an army of bugs that outnumber you 100 to 1. But then there's these annoyingly lame missions where you follow a linear path through some empty facility and just fight the odd handful of bugs and these annoying little swarms of hopping mini plasma bugs that are dead silent, sneak up on your ass, and instantly vaporize you with a burst of plasma before you can even realize wtf happened. If you want I can also help get you a copy that has the widescreen patch and a couple other fixes.
I remember renting this from Blockbuster beating it in one sitting and returning it the same day. They were kind enough to give me another game in exchange.
Man Double Helix made a bunch of junk and then somehow created the amazing Killer Instinct for Xbox one and great Strider 2014, I still don't understand how they had such a spike in quality. Sadly now they're absorbed into Amazon games. Game looks pretty bad but I can at least say the whole Strategy thing sounds like it could be cool if done better.
Front Mission Evolved can be pretty fun, actually. That game's main problems were its music and uninteresting level design, as the core combat felt great, even on-foot combat was perfectly fine for running and gunning.
I remember this game being way better for some reason, I liked the switch from first person shooter to battleship, but now that I've played more games over the years it's just sad now. I'd still recommend the history channal first person shooters such as battle for the Pacific, civil war secret missions
Thanks Jarek 😌 Personally i do still find some charm in these But your reactions are pretty much what i was expecting 😂 The fact that you actually took time to review these is awesome 🔥 Cant wait to see whats next!
I remember getting this game when I was younger from a relative as a gift... I played it for a bit because I didn't have much else. As a sidenote I'm still pretty annoyed at the fact that the potential for a really cool action movie focused around Naval conflict was wasted for a generic Alien movie...
I remember thid game vrry fondly. It was a bit of a hidden gem for me considering how bad I thought the movie was. Got a free copy and had nothing better to do so it really surprised me, clearly nothing great but a serviceable shooter and a good way to kill a friday night! Also strangely I remember the exact moment of the game I was playing because its when i found out Robin Williams died. Hard to think that was... what... 7 or 8 years ago now?
Holy shit. I have not seen your face in years. Like I was sitting here trying to figure out what was so familiar about you, like "This dude sounds so familiar" and "Why do I feel like I've seen this guy before." Your name just looked familiar and I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then I saw the dragon. And everything clicked in and I was like "Holy shit its the dude who did airsoft review videos back in the day." You've probably gotten this like 50 times but my mind is blown that you're still around doing stuff and I'm happy you're not dead. Today has been a mind fuck for me.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I grew up on it, still in my top 3 games of all time, have you heard of road trip adventure for the ps2, games long as hell, and is basicly cars, before cars came out.
Dinosaurs are definitely awesome. Turok: Evolution, though, is awful. Shit combat, awful graphics, horrendous controls, painfully linear level design, dumb as rocks ai, etc.
Jarek i really like your reviews and how always cover a rare game that is mostly unknown. It would be nice if you did a vídeo of Terminator Salvation (i think is for xbox 360 and ps3).
The horrible performance in cut scenes are most likely due to the game loading assets in the background, and you'd be damn right if you say this game copies alot of fps shooters, because all of the call of dutys load assets as a cutscene plays, but unlike this game, it's much smoother. Hell even Alien isolation has issue where the cut scenes would heavily tank as the engine dumps and rebuilds the assets in the background.
Nah nah bro, your right. They are part of the crapverse. But to be fair to battle LA it wasn't trying to be something it wasn't. It knew what it was and went full on with it. Battleship. Is just a robot chicken joke. Like literally robot chicken made the joke that they were running out of ideas for movies. So they were just gonna start copying everything. Including family board games. And sure as shit, like 3 or 4 years later. We got battleship. And clue. Qnd a few others.
On a different video about this game, someone had commented about how annoyingly long the iPad loading times were, and I’m confident in saying the transition was artificially extended to stretch out the gameplay length.
I wouldn't give Double Helix shit, Strider and Killer Instinct Season 1 were all truly wonderful. Strider in particular is admittedly one of my favorite Metroidvanias, truly spectacular game. This game's particle effects, ragdolls, 'blood' effects, dismemberment and enemy animations all feel great while watching. Had this game's core gameplay been better, I'm sure the gunplay would feel significantly better as a result. I don't think the music is all that bad either, there's some combat tunes that sound kinda nice. Given this game's ideas, there was potential for this to be an interesting open-ended game with lots of emergent gameplay. It's clear that Hasbro is to blame here. Wii version to this game is a different game, a rather decent RTS.
Heard of the game but never played it. I did see the movie and the best part in the movie is when the old ww2 veteran says "Let's drop some lead to those mother". I know there's a clip I saw from Angry Joe where If you have a ship with low health you can still kill the enemy ship without doing anything since the enemy just takes it time on trying to shoot you.
Man - since this was published by Activision, I’m weirdly curious to see if Xbox’s acquisition could end up making it backwards compatible. Licensed games make that process an even bigger mess than it already is, but still - would be interesting to play this at 4K 120 FPS, or whatever ridiculous resolution ‘n’ framerate the Series X would be capable of playing it at
Honestly love the time splitters music in the background. The game is well it’s something. Loved the little I am going to look away from some marine I just grabbed. Looking back wait wha…head shot by a pistol from a armed marine…..poor dumb alien.
The Wii version of Battleship is a completely different game, being a top-down square-grid turn-based Strategy Game with some Light Gun minigame elements (because the Wiimote of course had pointer functionality). From what I've seen critical reception to that version is much better than the infamous Xbox 360/PS3 version, particularly because it is not another Call of Duty-esque FPS.
I got this game for ps3 when I was very young because I bought pretty much all FPS games, regardless of how shit they were. All I remember about this game was that it was too difficult for me to finish at the time.
Huh, I grew up with the Wii version of this movie, and was kind of expecting it here...damn that's weird. It's very different from this, it was a Fire Emblem clone of all things, which makes a lot more sense than an FPS against enemies you see a grand total of 3 minutes in the actual movie.
I have no idea who you are, I don't know what game this is, this video appeared as suggested by TH-cam. But I hear the music from Time Splitters Future Perfect in the background, so you are a good person
the battleship control mini game is designed like a mobile game, since you don't really do anything but tap attack and upgrade stuff. So in the Battleship game you "soldier guy" pulls out a tablet and plays a Battleship mobile game, purchasing upgrades with giant crypto coins dropped by aliens and tapping attack while the ships play themselves.
I'm not an expert but a 2-3 seconds reload on the triple 406mm mark 7 guns of Missouri is kinda very quick.... Like from what I remember it's closer to 20 seconds and I'm very very generous
This game is just like nearly every FPS that came out in the early 2010's. Even in 2012, there were much better games in the genre. I literally forgot all about it back when it came out, and for good reason.
I'd kinda like to learn about the development of this game, it seems like it'd be pretty interesting Also how do you not get blinded from when your pc background goes super bright lol
That game divorced dad buys in a hurry at the gas station clearance bin for his 10 year old son because there are guns in it so it must be super cool and badass.
Dude to put it in perspective battlefield 3 came out a year before battleship. This game looks barely any better than halo 3 or COD4 in terms of graphics
Got this game when I was a young kid right when it came out thinking I was gonna fight aliens with modern United States Navy ships and old WW2 Battleships but no. Just another fps shooter for a quick cash grab. And the sections where you play a warship it is such a bland on rails battle where the enemy alien ships are just huge bullet sponges and that's it. The gun play is alright I kinda liked it but the only fun weapon is that alien gun where it fires a lot of rounds and the combination of the alien rifle and the human shotgun as a secondary is the only real good way of taking out positions. It's like the Halo 2 Plasma rifle and SMG combo but just worse 💀
Not going to lie the concept of switching between a shooter and strategy game is an awesome idea. Call of Duty Strike Team is a great example of this. I’d love an actual company to make a AAA game with this concept
Wow now this *really* looks like one of those games you see someone playing in the background of a movie that's just an incoherent mishmash of shooting and hud elements
Just learned about the tank gun removal from you and it pisses me off because my computer is in the laptop shop and I can't get it because it only just arrived today after a month of shipping. And they only just started repair work so I am f***ed! How the hell am I supposed to do a laso run now? I'm nowhere near skilled or even got the time to do it without the tank gun.

I wouldn't give Double Helix shit, Strider and Killer Instinct Season 1 were all truly wonderful. Strider in particular is admittedly one of my favorite Metroidvanias, truly spectacular game.
This game's particle effects, ragdolls, 'blood' effects, dismemberment and enemy animations all feel great while watching. Had this game's core gameplay been better, I'm sure the gunplay would feel significantly better as a result. I don't think the music is all that bad either, there's some combat tunes that sound kinda nice. Given this game's ideas, there was potential for this to be an interesting open-ended game with lots of emergent gameplay.
It's clear that Hasbro is to blame here. Wii version to this game is a different game, a rather decent RTS.
Heard of the game but never played it. I did see the movie and the best part in the movie is when the old ww2 veteran says "Let's drop some lead to those mother". I know there's a clip I saw from Angry Joe where If you have a ship with low health you can still kill the enemy ship without doing anything since the enemy just takes it time on trying to shoot you.
I'm pretty sure Pointlesshub made that Craig joke too.
They so do look like Craig though.
I don't get why the cutscene has to run on the hardware.Why not just save it as a video? Does it save that much space?
Spunkgargleweewee. Thank you, Yahtzee for this word!
It was a CoD Modern Warfare 2 (2009) Clone. the M4 was a literal copy
the hit feedback on those aliens is way too fucking good for a game of this quality
Man - since this was published by Activision, I’m weirdly curious to see if Xbox’s acquisition could end up making it backwards compatible. Licensed games make that process an even bigger mess than it already is, but still - would be interesting to play this at 4K 120 FPS, or whatever ridiculous resolution ‘n’ framerate the Series X would be capable of playing it at
Please, no. There’re better games published by Activision that deserve backwards compatibility like Blur…
Boom Slingers looks a lot like a game I used to play in the early 2000s online called Dinky Bomb. Same concept
0:06 Bro what happened to my pfp lmaoooo 😂😭
Thanks for including me though. I appreciate it ✌️
idk why but ive been binge watching all of his game reviews xD, great vids.
Jerek you always bring the A+ content for us and we love it! ❤️
Honestly love the time splitters music in the background. The game is well it’s something. Loved the little I am going to look away from some marine I just grabbed. Looking back wait wha…head shot by a pistol from a armed marine…..poor dumb alien.
I haven’t play movie based games since the GameCube days The game boy advance movie base video games are now so rare that come out
I really like how much you focus on the guns in FPS games, particularly how you often compare them between games.
The naval aspect of it seems interesting and unique.
The shotgun reminds me of the Spas-12 from 2006 game Black
The Wii version of Battleship is a completely different game, being a top-down square-grid turn-based Strategy Game with some Light Gun minigame elements (because the Wiimote of course had pointer functionality). From what I've seen critical reception to that version is much better than the infamous Xbox 360/PS3 version, particularly because it is not another Call of Duty-esque FPS.
I got this game for ps3 when I was very young because I bought pretty much all FPS games, regardless of how shit they were. All I remember about this game was that it was too difficult for me to finish at the time.
Oh poor Jarek, expecting a story from a game based on the Battleship movie. The movie barely had a story or characters, if you could call them that.
The movie literally does have a story.
Huh, I grew up with the Wii version of this movie, and was kind of expecting it here...damn that's weird. It's very different from this, it was a Fire Emblem clone of all things, which makes a lot more sense than an FPS against enemies you see a grand total of 3 minutes in the actual movie.
Double Helix went on to better things with the absolute banger of a game that is Killer Instinct!
I like how they literally took the COD MW2 M4A1 carbine and painted it black instead of tan, and removed the front grip 😂
And also gave it the SCAR's reload for some reason
I had that game for my ps3 haha I remember replaying it like 12 times
I have no idea who you are, I don't know what game this is, this video appeared as suggested by TH-cam.
But I hear the music from Time Splitters Future Perfect in the background, so you are a good person
That ship stuff looks for all the world like they tried to incorporate the board game into the video game, but they couldn't figure out how :)
I saw Angry Joe's review of this game and that told me enough XD
the battleship control mini game is designed like a mobile game, since you don't really do anything but tap attack and upgrade stuff. So in the Battleship game you "soldier guy" pulls out a tablet and plays a Battleship mobile game, purchasing upgrades with giant crypto coins dropped by aliens and tapping attack while the ships play themselves.
What was that FEAR clip at 10:12? A multiplayer map?
I'm not an expert but a 2-3 seconds reload on the triple 406mm mark 7 guns of Missouri is kinda very quick.... Like from what I remember it's closer to 20 seconds and I'm very very generous
At the time it came out, I thought this game looked like the best thing ever
First btw all of you are great you do be legendary like i just thought you needed the encouragement
If the movie was the kinda thing to play in the background of a movie, this game is the kinda thing a kid would be playing in the background of one
Nothing like hearing the time splitter theme
This game is just like nearly every FPS that came out in the early 2010's.
Even in 2012, there were much better games in the genre.
I literally forgot all about it back when it came out, and for good reason.
I'd kinda like to learn about the development of this game, it seems like it'd be pretty interesting
Also how do you not get blinded from when your pc background goes super bright lol
That game divorced dad buys in a hurry at the gas station clearance bin for his 10 year old son because there are guns in it so it must be super cool and badass.
I hadn't thought about that but yeah Vanguard being on top is mental. I mean seriously Battlefield, seriously.
Honestly doesn’t look all that bad for a 2012 game lol 😂
Also can we just talk about the graphics, pretty impressive considering this is a movie game.
Dude to put it in perspective battlefield 3 came out a year before battleship. This game looks barely any better than halo 3 or COD4 in terms of graphics
Boomslingers devs hey Worms is a fun game lets copy that but give it an entirely new paintjob people will love it
13:32 sounds like something a Warframe Dev would do
Got this game when I was a young kid right when it came out thinking I was gonna fight aliens with modern United States Navy ships and old WW2 Battleships but no. Just another fps shooter for a quick cash grab. And the sections where you play a warship it is such a bland on rails battle where the enemy alien ships are just huge bullet sponges and that's it. The gun play is alright I kinda liked it but the only fun weapon is that alien gun where it fires a lot of rounds and the combination of the alien rifle and the human shotgun as a secondary is the only real good way of taking out positions. It's like the Halo 2 Plasma rifle and SMG combo but just worse 💀
the intro sound 🥰
The best part of the game is that sheet of paper promoting Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate.
Not going to lie the concept of switching between a shooter and strategy game is an awesome idea. Call of Duty Strike Team is a great example of this. I’d love an actual company to make a AAA game with this concept
@@Rainbow-Dash will do.
Hostile Waters did something similar
Is it weird that I actually miss the sound of the disc tray ejecting and going back in?
Wow now this *really* looks like one of those games you see someone playing in the background of a movie that's just an incoherent mishmash of shooting and hud elements
I got this game and I did enjoy it, it was just rushed. If they had delayed it and given it more time it could of been a great game.
Well you grabbed the disc like a psychopath.
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought "hey, but didn't he review this game last month or something?", then I realized it was another "Battle"...
You can tell a lot about a person by whether or not the HDMI sticker is still on the front of their Xbox One.
Just learned about the tank gun removal from you and it pisses me off because my computer is in the laptop shop and I can't get it because it only just arrived today after a month of shipping. And they only just started repair work so I am f***ed! How the hell am I supposed to do a laso run now? I'm nowhere near skilled or even got the time to do it without the tank gun.
You should make a Video on Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360, I remember having some fun with the game.
Can't wait for battleship the movie, the game, the movie
Very satisfactory review as always 😁 . Sometime please look at Boiling Point: Road to Hell or it's sequels
lets bully jarek into reviewing ready or not
