Double Helix Games also made Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra for the DS.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

What playing Battleship is like
Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.
Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
