The Ship, the online game where players run around a luxurious cruise ship while each players is gunning for the other, appeared on shelves all across America today. The game has already been well received by the gaming community as it has been named Most Innovative Design by IGN and has also been made one of the Top 5 games of 2006 by Firing Squad. The game incorporates a number of elements including the ability to switch between third and first person points of view, a Sims-esque gameplay style where each character has needs that have to be fulfilled including food, sleep, and conversation with other people..just hope it's not the person out to get you. On the ship, then, which bears all the modern appointments one could desire doth occur The Hunt. The Hunt is, said simply, your reason for being on the ship in the first place. You have the name of one particular passenger and another passenger has your name. You must find your mark, which may not even be the same person who has you as a target, and get to them while avoiding the shipboard security or being killed. The ship does have a brig so, if you get caught, into the cell you shall go.
Lloyd Melnick, the Director of Merscom, stated that “The Ship is one of the most remarkable games we've released. The game is extraordinarily well-crafted and we are confident it will provide players with entertainment for weeks on
end.”
