3 Stars Are fake reviews more effective than a good product?
The people at WebPlus are very dedicated to their fake review program. Obviously they have at least one full time person whose job it is to go on sites and post fake reviews. My theory is that they figure someone who buys this software is not smart enough to realize that almost every 5 star review on this site is fake.

If you have a few minutes to spare, take a moment to read through these reviews. The person writing them did not even take the time to add some details that might make them sound genuine. Well, they do add a couple fake negatives, humbly suggesting that the only thing wrong with the software is this: It is so awesome and perfect that you sometimes can’t get anything done - all you want to do is sit there and think about how perfect it is.

If you are bored, you can try and figure out how many of the reviews were written on the same day, or how many reviewers have only one review. Oh - some reviewers have multiple reviews… but, oddly, their only other reviews are for products by the same company. And guess what? The company’s other products are flawless as well.Shocking!

I have never posted a review on Amazon. I shouldn’t even have taken the time to write it, but I know many or us sometimes feel like saying “enough is enough”.

I don’t know whether the software is good. It might be.

None of will know whether it really is good unless we buy it.

But - we ALL know that the company that made it engages in a deceitful and ugly business practice. Of course, this is not just a simple lack of integrity, it also ruins the impact of reviews that are thoughtfully submitted by real people. I used to get a lot out of Amazon reviews - its too bad that is now just a marketing game for dishonest people.

5 Stars Great Product!
Serif’s WebPlus X2 is one of the best web design products I’ve used. Great for first timers and a lot of options.

2 Stars I have to re-learn everything now.
All I wanted was something to replace FrontPage. This product is not it. It doesn’t work directly with html pages. Worse, it will not even correctly import html pages that use tables. Tables are the foundation of my web pages, and this program will not work with them! So, I guess I have to re-learn web design or find another product that will do what I want.

4 Stars Great for beginners!
Highlight a picture and a tool bar pops-up, if you choose to change picture file the effect given in the template with automatically be on your new picture so you don’t have to mess with other programs for a given effect like photoshop, etc.

Easy to use!

5 Stars Great for first time web designers!
As I first time web site designer I was hesitant to buy any of the programs I found. The price for this one was so fantastic, I decided to take a chance, and it sure paid off. I found that the templates were a bit boring, and created my site from scratch. Much of the program is self explanatory, learn as you go, and if I got stuck the manual, while not easy to read gets you going in the right direction. I definately reccomend this program, and am thrilled to have purchased it!

I bought this game for my husband and he won’t leave it alone. He loves it.

5 Stars The Best Macintosh Computer Game Ever
I wood Buy This Game Its is amazing or mac, It runs like nothing you have ever seen before on my 2.4 ghz 1 gb of ram imac and runs ever well on white 2.4 ghz 2 gb of ram macbook. Buy you will love it!!!

4 Stars Great game play, but should have been longer.
Everything about this game is amazing except how long it takes to win. Yes there is the multiplayer, but I still think that it should have been longer.

5 Stars Great Game, Lousy Shipping
The product is amazing and I will probably start playing it in the next few minutes. The problem was that I was shipped the wrong game! I was shipped Civilization IV instead. When I tried to return it, the website would not respond to my emails and would not answer their phone!!!! I tried for almost 2 weeks to return it and finally read in their return policy that it had to be returned within 10 days in order to trade it for the correct game. By then it was too late. It was sent from Go Gamer.com, of which I will never buy another product from again. So the game is amazing, but I didn’t buy the actual game from you. I bought it off the Apple website.

4 Stars A New Spin on an Old Classic
I owned both COD the first, and COD2, and was a little skeptical when getting this if I’d experience anything new, or just the same old maps and game dressed up in new graphics. This is not the case at all; COD4 is a totally new game if not a totally new concept obviously. The graphics have certainly been improved but you’ll need a pretty powerful card to get the most out of it IMO. Gameplay is very realistic and the shear number and type of armaments, maps and characters are great, if a bit intimidating at first. Unless you’re a total gaming stud, expect to get your butt kicked the first couple days of playing this game until you get used to the physics and its quirks.

Many aspects of this game have added realism, such as the ability to call in CAS choppers, gillie suits for snipers, different types of camouflage for weapons, different weapon behaviors depending on whether you have certain handles or silencers attached, knives, etc. Also, it has the interesting twist in the MP variant that as you get better and acquire more kills from game to game, you unlock more weapons and weapon options (like advanced scopes or stun grenades) for yourself. Then as your skills and weapons available both get better, the effect tends to snowball a bit and you can really start kicking tail when you get up into the officer ranks. :-)

Couple new game types alongside the classic DM, TDM, Domination, etc… basically all variations on Search and Destroy. One where you locate a constantly updating HQ, capture and defend it, another where you have one bomb that constantly gets “swiped” by the other team, each in an attempt to blow up their specific objective, and the traditional Search and Destroy model where you just switch sides, taking turn attacking and defending the same target locations. The Single Player game is very slick and life-like with a variety of different mission types and locations around the world, and good lead-in / lead-out video sequences.

My one beef with this game is there seems to be some sort of inherent lag in the online game where even if you’re ping is good, there can be a slight delay in the actions you take, resulting in quick and constant death. AFAICT it has more to do with how many people are on the server than the average ping. Servers with more than about 15 or 16 players can get this problem a lot and it will degrade game play in that case.

All in all definitely worth the money if you’re a long time MOHAA / COD fan.
