(More customer reviews)I sure expected a lot more out of this game based on its price. Essentially the only thing electronic about this is the preprogrammed games and the cheesy, repetitive sound effects. Okay, a little red light flashes if you hit a boat, but so what? For the money, Hasbro should have: 1) At the very least printed out the punched in letter/number combo on the light grid. Ever play this with a kid who forgets to call out the coordinates then forgets what they were altogether! Frustrating! Putting this on the display probably would have cost pennies. 2) Had LEDs in the grid. Want those plastic pegs? Get the much cheaper and essentially the same, old fashioned "manual version". This doesn't do much more. I was at least expecting LEDs to light up in the grid after the coordinates were put in. Okay, nickels this time, not pennies. But nope. 3) Keep track of what's sunk. Hey, they have a little key with the boats on it - how tough could it be to put a little lit up LED next to each when it's sunk? They don't even have the peg holes up top anymore to mark your sinkings! How lame is THAT?
In this day and age of high tech computer wizardry, this game MISSES THE BOAT! It should be quick and inexpensive to put in what is really missing, especially for the price. Instead, Hasbro gives you something not much better than the classic....at 3X the $$.
If this weren't a kid's gift I would have returned the one I bought. Save your money and stick with the classic. Don't say you weren't warned!
