JonasH.Sep 8, 20078This game is rediculous, stupid and with no sense whatsoever - So how can you anything but love it? It's highly addictive and it has hours worth of online gameplay. However, a lot of bugs freezing the game, kind of ruins the experience. It sucks when your 500$ from winning the game, and suddenly: BSOD! But I rate by gameplay experience and not bugs!

Oct 30, 201110The ship is an amazing classic that you just have to play. Many of the reviews say it gets boring, but it really doesnt. The ship is a classic that you must get.

Nov 15, 20129very good game amazing game play and lots of fun especially with friends.
very good idea of hunt drags you into funny moments and exciting ones.
the bad graphic shouldn't bother anyone. -
BorisG.Feb 9, 20079Very nice game, great gameplay who lets you becoming parano. I just think that the game is too heavy, and graphics are a bit poor.

DannyNov 1, 20069Generaly FPS don't tend to be orignal but The Ship is a breath of fresh salty sea air that a rather stale gender needs. It's not just mindless blasting of your foes, you really have to take you time and choose you moment in this kill or be killed stalk fest. A wonderfuly orignal concept that put's a lot of high budget efforts to shame, top stuff!

GabrielH.Nov 1, 200610It's about time that someone stopped remaking everything we've already had and brought a new, intuitive, entertaining and addictive game to the table.

TomF.Nov 7, 200610Great game, great concept, and the execution keeps getting better. Big thanks to a great and dedicated development team.

ShirleyT.Oct 30, 200610Addicting and original. If you haven't played this game yet, you're missing out greatly.
-
-
Black_KnightOct 30, 20063Terrible game, just get's worse every time you play it. After you get the hang of where to look for good weapons nobody is playing, it's one of the worst games out there.

LukeS.Jul 30, 200610what an awsome game. so good. and the graphix r top notch. great. powerful. ill be playing this for at least the next 10 years of my life unless they make a sequel.

EricG.Jul 30, 200610I love this game. Its a refreshing change from all other FPS games.

AcecoolM.Aug 2, 200610Awesome game, great gameplay - The vote from 1UP was completely unfair and untrue.
-
-
BrianH.Aug 5, 20068Ehh.... game is ok was fun for a couple days but altogether i think HL2 need some newer and more different mods.
-

ZOMBIEREPELLENTAug 5, 200610The best freakin game I've ever played!!!

AntonW.Oct 9, 200710It migth take some time to get into this game,but when you get used to the rulest and such,this game's simply one of the best ever.It's a very original idea (atleast in my oppinion) and it's a welcome break from the "Kill everything that moves" games.It migth not have great graphics,but the low price and the awesome gameplay truly makes this a game that everyone should try!

AmyW.Jun 26, 200710I love this game. Keeps me intertained for hours.

TylerNov 18, 200610This is simply not getting all the reviews it deserves. They just came out with a patch which added so many cool mew features, but even without the new patch I would have given this a 10. The most original FPS ever, with HUGE potential. Very underrated, but hopefully soon the player numbers will rise with this being released in more countries soon.

ChronoG.Oct 31, 200610This is a great game. It masterfully blends existing concepts into a unique game. The game quickly becomes addicting through the thrill of hunting down your quarry. The graphics intentionally have a cartoon like feel to complement the light-hearted atmosphere of its murderess intent. As for the bugs, most of them have already been addressed.
-
-
RobertS.Oct 31, 20063A truly uninspiring game experience. The lack of players makes this a non even in multiplayer. I was kicked from a server and had to wait 1 hour before I could get back in. Go spend your dosh on something that is better then this.
-
-
MichaelClarksonOct 31, 200610Just the best game ever. The maps, the community, the gameplay, everything. (It sdid have some bugs in the start, that kinda ruined the gameplay. But that was sorted quickly.)
Just a lovable, fully addictive game. :)
BE SURE TO PICK IT UP ONCE IT COMES TO A STORE NEAR YOU! :D -

jgOct 30, 200610For purchase price, it's a great game. Different from anything out on the market -- but it isn't the sort of thing twitcher will like. I can't sit and play for 8 hours straight, but if there are folks on the servers, it is always good for a 2 hour session.
-
-
LoveC.Oct 30, 20062The only thing I can compare this game is to paint drying. I spent $20 on this crappy game which nobody is playing online. The single player can be completed in 2 hours or less.

WhiteknightOct 4, 200610Great game for a break from Counterstrike.
-
-
AlekA.Oct 6, 200610Excellent! Just excellent! Too much fun in great price!
-
-
TomS.Jul 21, 200610A Brilliant and innovative new style of gameplay, and was risky for a new company to invest in.They pulled it off very well and I find the game extremely addictive - it gets better the more you play it!
-
-
MattK.Jul 21, 200610The Ship's gameplay concept is new and refreshing compared to many other games on the market. With a bunch of friends, or a bunch of strangers, when played proper as with any game there are multitudes of hours of enjoyment. Loved it pre-source, love it even more post-source.
-
-
rek075Jul 21, 200610The concept of a murder mystery coupled with a first person game engine is brought with the game 'The Ship'. While not everyone's cup of tea, those who are looking for something other than standard deathmatch or capture the flag gameplay may come to really enjoy this game. The price is definately worth the enjoyment I have gotten out of it.
-
-
NeilB.Jul 27, 200610Great game. Great concept and design.
-
-
ZacharyI.Jul 29, 200610simply stunning and entertaining,i mean what other game lets you set your friend on fire with a flare gun,or lock em in a ffreeze or sauna and watch them slowly die?nothing beats how many ways you can kill people,did i mention killing your friend while their taking a poop? lol

AndrewPowellAug 11, 20069Excellent game, though the poor method of finding game types and the fair number of idiot kill-everyone players on the servers keeps me from rating it a perfect 10.
-
-
[Anonymous]Aug 10, 200610Great game with good potential for the future (with more traps, objects, fun situation, etc...) NEEDS MORE ADVERTISING to bring more players!
-
-
WillM.Aug 14, 200610Overall, great grahpics, great music, great concept, and tons of fun. Although the game does lose its "newness" quickly and playing the same 7 or so maps becomes repetitive. But it still is well worth 20 dollars.

AnonymousMCAug 17, 200610these people do not liek th egame because of its subtle bugs and problems. It is a great game, and it deserves a better rating because outer life will fix these problems . i have been talking to a guy from the ship forums and hes from outerlife. he says, the single player game is being worked on, so in a little while that will be out, and te bugs will be fixed.

MarkV.Aug 20, 200610I love this game, especially its art deco. Loved the mod too all I can say are good things about this game. Although there are some bugs they will be fixed.

SkyP.Aug 5, 200610Very original and fun. Maybe not for everyone if they crave hectic and fast paced action but if you are into psychology, or into suspenseful games, this is for you. I can see it getting old, but that could be easily solved if there are occasional updates with new content.
-
-
AlexS.Aug 5, 200610A wicked game! Sound gameplay and graphics makes this a very addictive and comical murder game. Online mode is great too. 10/10 'Amazing'
-
-
GeorgeB.Aug 9, 20069Neat concept, good graphics, mild bugs here and there which should be fixed shortly ( I hope). It's fun, thats the whole point, I've been playing it for hours.

AmandaB.Sep 30, 20069Amazing game, just get's better every time you play it. After you get the hang of where to look for good weapons, it's one of the best games out there.
-

AnthonyM.Jan 12, 20079A Highly original game. One of the most unique concepts around to date.

AndyK.Jul 6, 20079I think this game is very good but i will have to give it a 1- point for graphics..... Hope the graphics improve on The Ship 2.
-
-
VegarL.Aug 4, 200710I love this game, took a little time to get used to it, but when you first get used to it, then it's addicting! I love hunting, and the teamplay modes are great!

AlexB.Jan 24, 201010It's a very unique game, and I'd say its atleast worth what its asking for if you enjoy these murdermystery-ish type of games.
-
-
TimOct 1, 200610Simply Good.
-
-
LeeR.Oct 11, 20069Very fun amusing game. Poor single player gameplay and storyline, but the best online game thats came out in a while.
-
-
MarcB.Nov 21, 200610Heyyo, Awesome game. The needs system gives you better odds at getting your opponents, but must also watch your own needs and be careful to plan to relieve your needs without risk of dying yourself.. people who give it a low rating don't understand the complexity behind it. But hey, not every game's for everyone.

AlfonsoC.Oct 15, 20068Its pretty good, specially when playing against friend. Lacking in some aspects, but fun anyway.

JaimeOct 15, 200610Kick a** one of the best games I have ever played simply brilliant.

-
RogerH.Nov 6, 200610Really cool and funny game. Some sorf of hitman but 200% more fun. Nice great game, try it !
-
-
JeradL.Nov 6, 20069This is one of the most online addicting shooters I have ever played, next to Battlefield 2. The gameplay is completely original and whoever thought of the concept is a genious! The weapon variety is excellent and the gameplay is exciting and suspenseful at the same time. Stalk you later!
-
-
CarstairsNov 6, 200610I don't think I've ever played an fps game that has been such fun within a short space of time. The graphics suit the game and are quite nice to boot, the ship layouts logical and it doesnt take long, and theres nothing more fun than tracking your quarry all round the ship before stabbing them to death with a knitting needle.
-
-
MakrocowNov 6, 20069It was fun to play few hours. but the prize is too much for the game like this. I would buy it if it would be near 10$. Idea is not new but first time I see it in computer game. Planed Murder is always fun.
-
-
JoeS.Nov 9, 200610I've had so much fun with this game. All the secrets and the well-timed strategy make it a joy to play. Some of my friends have bought it and more are buying it each day. It's a great diversion from the run-of-the-mill FPS out there.

WilliamN.Oct 30, 200610I would recommend this game to anyone who doesn't simply go for the mindless run and gun games, but would rather play for the satisfaction of a truly unforgettable murder using stealth and accuracy. I give this game a 10, as it is my favorite game at the moment.
-
-
NathanF.Jul 22, 20069An excellent fps with a new and exciting twist.
-
-
TobusL.Jul 26, 20069Great game with a very innovative spin on the almost ancient multiplay FPS.
-
-
SteveC.Jul 26, 20069It's like the game Cruise for a Corpse should have been!
-

DerekT.Jul 31, 200610Love this game....great mix of strategy and fps style gameplay.
-
-
JoeyT.Jul 31, 20069I think its a great game its very thrilling and fun to play. Although its kinda long its a good game.
-
-
LeeC.Jul 31, 200610Highly original twist for a FPS. initially the game has a high learning curve but once you're sucked in you just can't help but go one more round.

ColinLonghurstAug 10, 20069A highly original, entertaining game. Sort of Counter-Strike meets Clue, on the high seas.

ThomasC.Aug 16, 20068This is a truly fantastic game, a good premise, nice graphics and great sounds, easily deserving of a 10. Unfortunately due to a bunch of cs kiddies, it is nearly unplayable online. They can't seem to grasp the concept of stealth and just run around shooting stuff as though it's Counter-Strike ruining the enjoyment of all intelligible players, thus it gets an 8.
-
-
JackS.Aug 21, 200610One of the funnest multiplayer games on the market today!

EddieS.Aug 22, 200610This game rules! I get to eat, sleep, and kill. I loved the Sims 2, but it didn't have enough death. But The Ship is a combination, I love it!
-
-
greatgameAug 28, 200610wow, this game rocks. i mean never have i played such an original game and i can jump right into it (hunt mode) if i only have 15-20 minutes.
-
-
AlexalexAug 9, 20069The only way this game could possibly be any bigger is with better graphics and larger ships. Otherwise this game has aboloutely nothing wrong with it!

TimY.Sep 8, 200610I liked the Sims 2, so I loved this with a mix with Hitman. Simply fun.
-
-
BorisM.Jan 5, 20079Suprisingly enjoyable once I got used to the gameplay style, one of the better mods out there. Downsides are the difficulty for new players to get "into" the game and very limited map choices.
-
-
MutantChikinFeb 10, 200710This Game is nothing less than amazing. It never gets old...you could play it all day and never get sick of it! Its a Great Game!
-
-
RyanN.May 13, 20079The Ship is a wonderful game that I find to be very funny. I like all of the environments but, the concept of fufilling your needs is a bit stupid, but it makes sense.
-
-
JohnS.Jun 21, 200710Take a little bit to get used to, but its addicting! Fulfilling your needs can get annoying - would be nicer if they cut down on that a bit. Overall it is really a great game!
-
-
The Ship is a fresh and different slant on multiplayer death-matching; one not dependant on speed of reflexes and advanced techniques. It’s fun and innovative – something that some of the big name games dominating the charts seem to forget about every so often.
-
80While it may not be the refined, leisurely paced kill-'em-up many eager landlubbers might have signed up for, The Ship does quickly prove itself a subtly addictive, relentless nail biter that will only get better as those already aboard learn to rule the bloody waves. Notch this one up as another killer for Steam.
-
80The Ship's mixture of intrigue, subtlety, and cunning makes it the perfect recipe for gamers bored with same-old same-old multiplayer shooters, but it does tend to show its indie roots a little too clearly here and there.
