Advantages: Awesome Graphics, Gameplay and Sound Disadvantages: Connection issues on Multiplayer modes
...This game is awesome. Right from the beginning you are thrown right into intense action with bullets and explosion everywhere.
I have finished the game a number of times but keep coming back to what is a thoughrally engrossing single player campaign. It has several 'whoa' moments and the graphics and sound throw you into the tense and chaotic world.
The multiplayer mode is also an excellent part of the game, but at the time of writing does have a few issues with connecting to a game (i'm sure this will be sorted). Players can enjoy several game modes including warzone, guardian, execution, king of the hill and more. The newest edition to multiplayer is Horde (which can also be played single player).

Advantages: Interesting to see colour footage Disadvantages: None, really
...This DVD is part of the History Channel WorldWarII 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...
