Battleship: Destroyer Experience Released As Companion App For Upcoming Movie
April 9, 2012
Following the box office success of the Transformers and G.I. Joe films, Hasbro is scheduled to release another movie based on one of its popular properties. This time, the property in question is the classic board game Battleship and the movie is called, well, "Battleship." And ahead of the release of "Battleship" on May 18, the movie's distributor, Universal Pictures, has launched a companion app called Battleship: Destroyer Experience in the App Store.
Battleship: Destroyer Experience is not an iOS version of the board game; there has long been an official Battleship game for iOS. Instead, it's an app that lets you explore the USS John Paul Jones guided-missile destroyer as well as its extraterrestrial enemy craft, which is set to invade Earth's waters.
Designed with loads of high-tech equipment, including weapons and control systems, the destroyer can be virtually explored by either using your device's gyroscope or simply touching and swiping your device's screen. The ship has four environments, and in each of these environments you can look around to find four hidden exclusive clips from the movie. That's a total of 16 unlockable movie clips, probably enough to satisfy your excitement for the movie's naval battles.
Battleship: Destroyer Experience is available for free in the App Store and is compatible with both iPhone and iPad.
