Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360)


Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: Worst game I have ever played!!! (except Catwoman…)
I got this game with my 360 yesterday. I had a choice between this game and pro evo 6, as im no fan of football and dont like the games i stupidly chose Battlestation Midway.WHAT A MISTAKE!!! at first i put the disk in and selected US campain. The controls are ok but like someone else has already said u cant move and use binoculars at the same time very well without crashing. The graphics are not really up to my expectations for a 360 game either, the sea is bland and flat and the vehicles dont look anything special although the sky does look pretty realistic. Now for the worst bit the fps (frames per second) On a certain mission u use an aircraft carrier ship and u deploy planes which u can fly. I liked the plane bit the best coz its quite fun flying around but as soon as u deploy a few more planes (like about 3) the fps turns abmisally jerky. You need to drop bombs on a japenese ship but the framerate is so slow that when u hover perfectly over the ship and drop a bomb the framerate cant catch up with u and u end up missing. Also when ur flying, u cant make sudden turns coz its SOOOO slow and jerky. It totally ruined my experience of a first 360 game. DONT BUY!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! hpfully other 360 games are better and more fluid…

Customer Review: Navy In Your Hand!
Now this techniqually is the first attempt at WW2 naval combat. And they have done this in such an amazing way!

Im a big fan of WW2 games, and even i was getting tired of the same old aerial, and ground combat games like, Call of Duty, and Blazing Angels, so the smart men of Eidos thought, well lets take this to the pacific ocean!

At the height of the war in the pacific where the great nation of America fights the Japanese imperial armies, now i remember theres not even many ground combat games for the war in the pacific, the only one i really remember is MOH Rising Sun, and that in some cases was unsuccessful. Naval Warfare on the other hand can be, if you know what’s going on, now the japanese navy wasn’t amazing, but it was formidable, so that gives some insight into the pacific theatre of war.

Ok then, enough history, now for the fun, the ships are BEAUTIFUL! i love them to bits, from the little torpedo boats, to the aircraft carriers of the amercian navy, re-live the battles you had only seen in Nval warfare films, and footage. Carriers- Without them, USA wouldn’t have done so well, though proving extremly easy targets, they have formidable flak coverage. And Also has the capacity of Fighters, Fighter Bombers, and Dive Bombers!

You send these planes out in three squadrons, of 3, which are unique in there own way!

Battleships-Destroyers- The brunt of the Navy, the Battleship!, powerful guns, and the speed of a turtle, these titans are amazingly powerful in the right tactical way! Remember, these also prove Large targets, but have again a powerful Flak coverage.

The work hourse of the Navy, and my personal fav, the Destroyer, nimble, and powerful, this ship provides accurate, shorter ranged fire, but if stcuj in a difficult postion has the speed, and just about enough fire to get you the hell out!

Submarine- Sneaky, and very powerful, set the sub to a depth and chose your victim, launch upto 4 torpedoe’s a time, but remember, theres and oxygen count, and you will surface, making you very vulnerable.

The planes, useful for attacking airfields, and Naval facilities, Fighters intercept other fighters, or dive bombers, and fighter bombers. The dive bomber, launches a torpedo in the hull of a ship, and remember there’s a squad of three planes with you and they will fire along with you. You can track the torpedo into the hull of the ship. But to do this you must reduce speed, and get to an angle which would hit the ship, making you a sitting duck!

And to finish off, the Fighter Bomber, useful for taking out Aifields and Nval shipyards, like the name you go into a steep dive, and at the right moment release your bomb onto the target, and yes you follow the bomb, and your other teammates will release on time with yours!

Multiplayer!

With great Power comes a great mulitplayer capability, and this is shown on Midway, everyone takes a position on board, like for example, one player, would take one naval shipyard on the amercian team, and another player would take the naval shipyard on next to the first, sending a total of 4 ships out a time! (The same goes for the other side!)

When it all hits off your thinking of what to do, and its hard, no one is following a tactial route, so you must use your units, and find a way to out think, and out match your ememy, this may not always be the case though, overall the multiplayer is fantastic, with an array of vehicles at your disposal!

Customer Review: Pretty good
It really is amazing how much more comfortable this is. I was chatting with a mate for half an hour and when I took the wired headset off my left ear was aching all day. Clip this on and it’s great! You don’t have to take it off to go to the kitchen or anywhere else and it’s cool letting a friend talk while you play without fumbling and having to set right beside them. You remember when you first got a wireless controller and whenever anyone walked in front you would move it to stop it snagging when you didn’t need to? It feels just like that. Unfortunately my friend trod on mine in a huge hiking boot, but it does mean I can get the Halo 3 one!
Customer Review: Better than the normal headset!
I was wary about buying this headset seeing you get a free one with the xbox and I also had bought the camera which gives you another wired headset. But I bought it on recommendation from a friend. It’s very clear and crisp and the audio is so much better than the wired headset. I’ve toggled between using the two and the difference really is notable. And you can go quite far giving you the freedom to move about. And it’s more comfortable. The only annoying thing, as with all wireless equipment is the recharging but it the batteries do last quite a while. Definately worth buying.

Customer Review: Not as good as wipeout
Anti grav racing is no longer en vogue, not only that it, hasn’t been eb vogue for nearly a decade. So there is a definite lack of anti grav racing games but just because there is a lack doesn’t mean the world is crying out for one. That said a good one would go down nicely, sadly this is just merely average. It is fun for a short while then the difficulty curve goes of the scale. As the game progresses the races get faster, and sadly fast is everything. More quantum redshift than wipeout.

Xbox 360 HD DVD Player (Xbox 360) Customer Review: PAIRED WITH A 360 ELITE, THIS IS JUST AS GOOD AS A TOSHIBA HD-XE1 !
I got into HD movies with a Toshiba HD-XE1, which cost me ?450. Having just upgraded our original XBOX 360 to an Elite (mainly because, as a Vista Media Centre Extender, the Elite is MUCH quieter than the original 360), I couldn’t resist buying this 360 HD drive. Bottom Line? I’m selling the Tosh because I find the output of th XBOX HD drive is JUST AS GOOD, through either my Panasonic HD projector or Sharp HD TV. The pairing of this drive with the 360 Elite using HDMI to connect to a decent display is just perfect. This is a great Home Cinema solution, particularly as the Elite doesn’t sound like a jet engine as the old 360 did. I’m delighted!
Customer Review: HD made easy
Put simply, the hd add on for the 360 is great. Simply plug the player into a usb port on the console and install the disk. Comparing the price to an independant hd player makes the add on a superb buy, any 360 owner should seriously think about getting one. But, you will have to download updates from microsoft. Anyone not online will have to be prepared to have the odd dvd that won’t play.
