Second World War - Vol. 13 - War In The Pacific / War In Europe (DVD)

World At War, opinions in conflict

Advantages: flowing gameplay with a switch of character, good options in game modes
Disadvantages: lacks in a real kick and challenge when on normal difficulty.

So it's a game. On World War 2. Been done alot. So thats it right? Old story, old game? Well not quite. Firstly the historical accuracy is immense for all the history geeks out there and it's displayed and played out well and it keeps up to date with what Call of Duty does best; realistic story plots and average joe characters that you follow and play. There is a fantastic charm about being Private Nobody working along with the Sergants and Lt. thus being that the story fits together and makes sense. Is it as good as Modern Warfare? In many ways yes it is, which I realise many would spit at the screen for. But Call of Duty series are set in the war and Modern Warfare was design as a refreshing change which promised new ideals to the collection and so to return to WWII after this fresh war game does require people to be open minded to ...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (Xbox 360)

Homefront DVD in Colour. World War 2 In Colour

Advantages: Interesting to see colour footage
Disadvantages: None, really

This DVD is part of the History Channel World War II in Colour. It is the story (shown in colour) of how the people of the USA and Britain coped on the homefront, whilst the service personnel of both countries were away fighting against the Axis countries in what must have seemed like the four corners of the globe. The Atlantic, the Pacific, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the far East, Australasia, and so forth. The first chapter of the DVD is entitled "making do." Because the programme was created for the American audience, it begins not at the start of the homefront in Britain, but with the homefront in America, which was basically created only when Pearl Harbour was attacked by the Japanese. Suddenly, America new what it was like to face a relentless enemy who seemed implacable and incapable ...

Review of World War II In Colour - Homefront (DVD)

World War 2 In Colour, Air War

Advantages: Genuine footage
Disadvantages: How the Amercians won the war

Of all the branches of the armed services of probably pretty much any country the air force is probably seen as one of the most glamorous, or perhaps even the most glamorous. World War 2 In Colour, Air War, tells the true story (shown with actual live colour footage, filmed by combat cameramen) of the real story of the fighting aircraft of World War 2 and of their brave and dedicated aircrew and equally brave and dedicated ground support staff who, at great risk to themselves, kept the aircraft serviceable and fighting against the enemy Axis forces. The image of the airman, smartly dressed in his flying suit, and flying free above the earth was only a small part of it. A very small part of it. For being an air combatant during World War 2 was often not much fun. The programme shows how dangerous and how short the life of an air ...
