Slow paced history,

I fell asleep viewing the first disk.
I wish the History Channel would stick to the facts and proper time sequence in telling about the events of World War II. Instead of facts such as dates, weapons, tactics, equipment, rations and leaders,we get something less than a John Wayne movie, that is edited by hacks.
1.0 out of 5 stars
RIP OFF!!!!!!!!,

WARNING: If you already own Patton 360 and or Enterprise Battle 360 you already have what is on Battle 360 Guadalcanal. (Note Patton had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTLE FOR Guadalcanal and is included with this DVD). THIS IS NOT A NEW SERIES DEDICATED TO Guadalcanal, ALL IT HAS IS PARTS OF THE OTHER BATTLE 360 SERIES. We enjoyed the others and recommend both of them. This one is nothing but a DECEPTIVE MARKETING PLOY TO RIP OFF FANS OF THE BATTLE 360 SERIES!

Good but could have been better,
This review is from: Battle 360: The Bloody Battle of Guadalcanal (DVD)
In telling the story of the Big E, an over-reliance on compouter-generated imagery (CGI) is quite evident and often annoying. There are lots of archival sources for combat video which could have been and should have been used. The graphics utilized are done so repetitiously as well. Individual CGI sequences however are done well and get the point across cartoon-like.
On the positive side, the story of the Big E's actions are clearly described with a fair amount of detail. Daily life on board the carrier, armaments, weapons are dealt with often in an abbreviated style. Comparisons of Japanese and American weaponry and tactics are present but sparsely explained. The relationships between these differences and the resultant tactical choices are sketched but could have been expanded. The benefit of this 1 disc out-take is to give an introduction to the entire Battle 360 series which ran on the History Channel. If you like it, you would probably like the entire series, and the price of the whole series isn't much more than this one DVD offering. On the other hand, there is a lot of filler in each episode (I have also watched the entire series which unfortunately suffers the same flaws of this single DVD)
