Advantages: Complete martial system - excellent for fitness & self-defence
Disadvantages: ...jack of all trades... master of none!!??

......combat ju-jitsu is a branch of traditional ju-jitsu, so lets start at the beginning... Traditional Ju-Jitsu : The origins of Ju-Jitsu can be traced back as far as 22BC. It is a comprehensive martial system which was taught as a means of self-defence to Japan's elite warriors - The Samurai. It was during the feudal Japanese period when it was thaught to be named "Ju-Jitsu", or "gentle / complient art". From Ju-Jitsu came the arts of Judo, Aikido and many styles of Karate - showing the amazing diversity of this system. Only those tecniques proven successful on the battlefield were included, and as times change, so Ju-Jitsu has evolved to meet the needs of modern day self-defence. Ju-Jitsu includes striking techniques, i.e. use of the hand, foot, elbow and knee, it encorporates blocking and evasion manoevers, there are a vast... Read review

Advantages: Fast paced, accurate company level action.
Disadvantages: Could do with artillery and air support.

..., even having won the Kremlin battles, the German commander finds himself back on the steppes in the following scenarios, indeed, I won every individual battle, but still lost the war! The individual battles are fast paced and real-time at the company level and call for some fast thinking and mouse clicking if you want to stay in the game. The scenario editor goes into much more depth than either Close Combat 2 or, I've susequently found out, Close Combat 4. You can select units, change their ammunition states and provide them with reinforcements for subsequent operations on different maps. In fact, it is less of a scenario editor than an actual campaign editor. Another advantage over previous Close Combat games is the inclusion of command teams that allow you to adjust the morale of individual units on the battlefield, making weaker units... Read review

Advantages: Live in a society without hate
Disadvantages: Trying to educate racists

...Racism exists everywhere it is educating people like the B.N.P that racism is a disease. which is the problem. We now live in a world where there is free trade between all countries The way to combat racism is at grass roots i would say that it is the parents who are racist and then pass it on to their own children. Fotball has gone a long way in Britain to stop racism at football matches i remember when i was young and there would be racist chanting at football matches. However that does not seem to happen that much now,also skinheads in gangs used to go round bashing anyone who were not white. That also seems to have stopped you dont hear about it that much anyway. The bradford riots a few years ago were instigated by the B.NP. spreading their lies to inflamme the situation which was already hostile... Read review

Advantages: Graphics
Disadvantages: None

...The great thing is doubtless, game of a genre WarGame in a real time! They use huge demand, in spite of the fact that the computer market is step-by-step saturated with similar toys. So, on the one hand Close Combat - wargame in a real time, with other - absolutely not similar to the customary game of this genre. As contrasted to Iron Cross, battle units notably "have grown up", and from a not clear dump of pixels have turn intoed beautifully drawn, large enough units. In general, schedule in the game at the altitude. A nice enough landscape, miscellaneous terrains qualitatively drawn units. The note too is not bad, but is a little uniform - too the incessant notes of outrigger booms and screen of explosions are monotone. Control in the game not so simple, but friend enough and laconic. Main, that all is balanced... Read review

Advantages: No/Less Racism
Disadvantages: Costly, Hard to enforce

...thoughts. This begs the question, how do we control it? The answer isnt straightforward. The police have already introduced laws to try and combat racism. But how can you prove that say for an example an assualt was a racist assault. Sure if, if the assailants shouts 'White #######' or something like that, then it can be charged as a racist attack, but before you can combat it, you need to prove it. Personally, id stick all offenders into rehabilitation centres, then rather than sending them to one of our overcrowded prison, i would send them, under the watchful eye of an officer into community schools to educate about racism, how it affects people, why it is wrong. With currently laws in this country, that seem to protect criminals more than victims, little can be done. Unfortunately. Apologies for any typos. Chris.... Read review

Advantages: Explosive, action-packed fun.
Disadvantages: Graphical glitches and awful Single-player.

.... They are only temporary though, to keep the balance of the game even. And that's another good point about Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. Neither team starts with any obvious advantages that make the game unfair on any of the fabulous maps available, showing off the superb level design. Whereas a team may start with an extra Apache Attack Helicopter for domination of the skys, the other may have a couple more tanks for domination of the ground. To show off this fantastic level design, EA have used some of the best graphics yet seen on the Xbox 360. Everything looks nearly picture perfect, right from the characters to the trees to the buildings. This sheer graphical power is really expressed through the high definition output and is expressed further still though the use of surround sound. Running through a battlefield, through teeth...

Advantages: Hours of absorbing fun!
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this game because I thought Close Combat 1 was excellent and could not wait for the sequeal to be released. Close Combat 2 came out about 2 years ago and is set in Holland during World War Two, during the Allied operation Market Garden. When you first start, you can choose to be British, German or American forces, and on some levels you play as Polish airborne forces. The game has many battles and how many you decide to play in one go is up to you. Each battle has a mission e.g to secure a bridge, and before you start, you must decide where to position your forces. This game has amazing graphics and sound effects, especially when you blow things up! The soldiers you command are designed to have 'artificial intelligene', e.g if you order a group of soldiers to attack an enemy tank, they won't unless they have... Read review

Advantages: Intense full on action from start to finish
Disadvantages: Way to easy to complete in one sitting

...Love it or hate it, Ace Combat 2 is a flight shoot 'em up that offers intense action from start to finish. The only draw back is that you can reach the finish at the end of day one, so longevity is a serious fault with this game. However, if you like the kind of game that has you gripping your controller till your knuckles turn white and sweat breaks out on your forehead as you try to get the HUD crosshairs to lock on to the AI controlled plane in front of you, this game has that kind of intensity to it that makes up for it's short game life. Flight sim officionados and budding RAF members should by it, anyone else should really stay well clear.... Read review

Advantages: good game
Disadvantages: .

...i have had combat flight simulator since it come out. i think that it is a brilliant game because i love planes and especially world war two planes. this game gives you the chance to fly your favourite comabat plane from world war two and to shoot at the enemy. The graphics are well good and virtually the same to real life. The planes are really good as well and are identical to the real thing. some of the planes include a hawker hurricane and the famous spitfire there are lots of missions to do which can take up time but dont most games. it has options in the game that let you choose how realistic the game is. because you can choose to have unlimited ammunition and unlimited fuel so its an easy way of cheating. there are three “teams” that you can fight for great britain, america and germany. my personal favourite...

Advantages: Better than it's predecessors from the same publisher
Disadvantages: Not that much good compared to the same genre elsewhere

...Namco's third attempt at a flight sim has proved a little more successful in its attempt to provide longevity to the game, with more endings available at completion and more varied missions this time. They also seem to have just ported the same graphics over from Ace Combat 2, with little enhancements that are hardly noticeable from the prequel. However, they have once again captured that intensity that will have you riveted to your screen for the first few times you play it, and it's only after a little practice that you can start to relax a bit and start blasting away merrily with your cannons, until you get to the later levels where all sorts of enemies can await. Overall, the best of a bad bunch from Namco, if you are a die hard flight sim fanatic then it's probably worth spending a bit of money, otherwise I would... Read review
