Summary: ...Almost Godlike
Review: Those are the only words that describe this brilliant multiplayer masterpeice. And dats' nooo lie. Although the single player mode can be dull, boring, and at times FAR too easy, the multiplayer is what this game was made for, and it reeeaaaally cooks. Ranking up there with the multiplayer big boys like Counterstrike, and Starcraft, the playabillity, and REplayability of this game is such that it is almost a sin. Each map is huge, normally with several vehicles, stationary guns, AA turrets, cannons, boats and other marvels of 1940s millitary technology, all of which you can jump in and out of quickly. In my personal favorite mode of play (conquest) you go to the hot spots on the map, and fight to conquer them for your team, which is a great and inovative way to keep people busy with TWO objectives, kill people, and take over strategic points of the map.
Unfourtunatly, there was alot left untouched that really ruin the dynamics of online play. On maps with team killing enabled, everyone will crowd around the spawn point for one plane, then kill each other trying to take it. While this is easily fixable by simply turning off teamkilling, its still an annoyance. Another problem would be the many glitches the game is riddled with. However all these problems are VERY easy to see past. I reccomend this game to anyone that enjoys war simulations of any kind. There is a reason this game is the massive hit it is. PROS:
Lots of vehicles, including airplanes, tanks, boats, and jeeps
A good amount of detailed maps.
Weapons up the wazoo, Submachine guns, sniper rifles, rifles, machine guns, hand guns, Grenades, knives, AA stations, stationary machine guns, artillary, and more.
Decent graphics for a game so huge.
Good system, allowing you to get online and play QUICK. No Gamespy required!
Free maps released every once in a while by EA! CONS:
Frequent glitches
Some mild lagging even on top-of-the-line equipment

Summary: The best game i have ever played
Review: With awesome graphics, this game is easily the best game ive ever played. It has vehicles like a motorcycle with machine gun, the HO229, which looks like it would be made today, and even a jetpack, this game has it all. It does a wonderful job with dealing with lag on multiplayer, which is the best part about it. If you dont have this game by now, there is something wrong with you.

Review: should have been $10 but will provide several weeks of fun but then maps get boring. Better off just playing the game without the Expansion!

Summary: Sad
Review: This game is so promising. I'm addicted to it. It's just too bad that it's more a video game than a simulator of war. There are no tactics, formations or distinct troop movements, just a constant, sloppy rushing towards enemy held control points. I mean, people don't even use armored vehicles properly. plant it behind a building, get a good field of fire, ambush enemies and keep 'em pinned down, don't just get blowed up. jeez.

Summary: The Best of The BEst WWII game EVER
Review: I purchased Battlfield 1942 about a week ago, and playing it is all ive been doing since. This is one of the best games in my extensive game collections, and i can see myself popping this into my comp 4 years from now. BF 1942 is an online fps, and the game lets you pilot tanks, bombers, fighters, jeeps, ships, landing craft, and submarines through all of the very large levels. Teamwork is very important as you rush to capture flag points and hills for a strategic advantage over the enemy. You can choose to be a sniper, an assualt soldier, to have a bazooka, or be an engineer or medic. Each class backs the other up- the snipers back up the assualt soldiers and can hold certain points, the solders back up tanks against bazookas, bazookas protect soldiers against tanks, engineers can lay mines, and medics heal everyone. Then, you can have transports carrying soldiers quickly to the battlefield, and planes to protect all troops and take out enemies. The fights are adreniline packed, exiting, and as you shoot down your opponents from your positions, you feel like a real team. Your tanks are pushing forward, your planes fly overhead, and grenades, rockets, tank shot, and bullets are whizzing overhead. The pure carnage is exilerating. Here are the good and very few poor points in the game.
Pros-1) Amazing fights
2) Great vehicles to drive
3) A lot of teamwork involved
4) Large, nice looking maps
5) A great value- theres a lot of juice to soak up from this game
6) Cool weapons and classes
Cons-1) Ive heard from many people that BF doesnt play well on a less powerful machine, but my computer is pretty fast so it doesnt apply to me
2) Some bugs with sniping- ive hit people repeatedly with my sniper rifle, withour them dying.
Overall- Buy this game. It outdoes Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Day of Defeat, and Medal of Honor, all of which i have. No matter how good those three games are, BF 1942 will always be better. Buy it- trust me, you wont regret it.

Summary: The money grab
Review: This game has 6 maps in it, all are a major pain in public online. If you are in a group of players that go against other groups, you may like perhaps 2 of the 6 maps. But it shows how many people do not like road to rome, since out of an average of 1600 bf1942 servers online, only around 20 or less are rtr maps. Even EA stopped playing their constant Road To Rome servers, cause no one would join the server. If you are looking for a good bf1942 expansion, go buy Secret Weapons.
