Hit detection is excellent, IвЂ™ve seen cannon balls pass between two masts on large ships. Click on a location and your guns within range and arc will fire on that location Whether it be the forward sail, the bow, the rudder the engines, wherever. Shooting conists of placing your cursor on the enemy ship which then turn into a crosshair. Turning radius increases with speed and the smaller boats are more maneuverable. Speaking of which each ship has 4 speeds: all stop, ahead slow, ahead full, and ahead emergency.

Very nifty to see of youвЂ™ll make it around that peninsula on full speed or not. Your path is shown including turning radius which slowly fades away. You command one ship clicking on empty space to move to that point. You can change your camera focus to any visible object including enemy ships and nearby islands. The camera is locked to a ship allowing you to rotate around and zoom in and out. Also available is a full featured skirmish mode and multiplayer mode that allows you to play a handful of вЂњhistoricalвЂќ missions with preset fleets weapons and crew or choose from a selection of maps and customize your own fleets (more on that later) then play against the computer, with other people or a combination of the two.

In the single player you are Jim Hawkins going through 12 linear missions starting at graduation day from the Imperial Academy. The pirate clans are getting antsy and thereвЂ™s a new threat out on the frontier in the form of ironclad ships.

The game takes place 5 years after the movie it is a time where the Empire is close to signing a peace treaty with their long time rivals the Procyons. ThereвЂ™s no building, just take your fleet directly into the mission. The set up is exactly like SFC with a 2d playing field in 3d space. Or perhaps an Age of Sail that is more polished and easier to play. TPRTS is what IвЂ™d call a simplified (but not necessarily less detailed) SFC. Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon (or TPRTS as IвЂ™ll call it from now on) is not one of those games. I know thereвЂ™s a handful of console games out there based on TP, but I havenвЂ™t seen them so I canвЂ™t say that they are or are not the ususal schlock you get with big movie tie-ins. Allow me to give you folks the background on the game and my impressions after a good 15 hours of play.ДЇirst off make sure you get Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon for the PC. Although I could be wrong and the big push is waiting for the movie to come out.

IвЂ™m not a professional reviewer but since the press out there is minimal, and considering Barking Dog just became Rockstar Vancouver, IвЂ™m a little worried that this game will slip under the radar. After playing the crap out of it this weekend I must say this is a good game, one IвЂ™d recommend to fans of the genre or the movie. ItвЂ™s a tactical ship to ship game much like Age of Sail or Star Fleet Command. I was quite suprised to see it on the shelf at my local Wal-Mart for $20US this weekend considering EB has it shipping on 11/5 and ToTheGame has it listed for 11/25. I remembered hearing a while ago about how Barking Dog (them what brought you Homeworld: Cataclysm) was making an RTS based on it. The twist is all the sailing ships are in space (or the Etherium) and cyborgs, aliens and robots abound. If you havenвЂ™t seen the trailer yet itвЂ™s basically a Disney remake of Treasure Island. So Treasure Planet is this yearвЂ™s Disney animated movie.
