Summary: MOHAA at the next level
Review: This game is pretty much like MOHAA, but with much larger terrains, vehicles, and in general much larger battles. Some may like the freedom given to them, while others may not. Basicaly, you should like the game, but depending on your tastes, you may want to pass it. Borrow it from a friend first!

Summary: Lots of large empty spaces
Review: Overall a game that only comes to life when played with a large number of other players. Otherwise it can be frustrating running around and trying to find something to look at. Graphics are quite good and it ran well on my system P4 with ATI graphics card. I didn't like some of the sound effects, though. I think that action games such as Unreal Tournament and Quake III are more fun.

Summary: Endless Wartime Possibilities...
Review: This is a truely entertaining game. It is a very open ended game. Wanna land on an enemy aircraft carrier? Well, you can. Think landing is to risky? Try the parachute. Or perhaps it might be better to just torpedo the ship. All of that assumes you want to fly a plane of course. Perhaps tanks are more your thing. Or how about sniping? Grab a tank or hitch a ride as a gunner.This game probably implements the best multi-player experience that is currently available. It's only up to 64 players per game, but that makes things even better. In fact, I personally enjoy the game with less than 20 players the most (otherwise waiting for vehicles - if you are interested in them - can be quite taunting...). Great maps. Greap game mechanics. Great performance. Great fun. I give it 5 stars.

Summary: Well done. Best for multi player.
Review: This game is fun in one player mode. The graphics are very good, and game patches have fixed some problems with sound quality compared to other games. Where this game really shines though, is in online multi player mode. WWII has never been portrayed in such an open manner. There is access to more items, and to more communication than in any of my other favorites. Drive the tank, fly the plane, command a ship. It's here. Pay close attention to learning the key combinations that allow you to coordinate with others on your side though. If you don't master teamwork in this game, you will spend a lot of time getting killed (kind of like the real war game). I think it is a must have, even if you never give up on Medal of Honor.

Summary: A lot of trouble
Review: I had a LOT of trouble with this game and I have a pretty hefty gaming PC. It locks up my computer all the time and I cant even play it. I have downloaded the patch and I am still having trouble with it locking up and occasionally the sound will not even play. I have almost [$$$] in the game, the expansion pack, and the prima guide and it is just setting on my desk. I am an avid PC gamer and I have never had so much trouble with a game. I would advise anybody who is thinking about this game to go to the official Battlefield 1942 web site and check out the message board. You will see that i am not the only one with this problem.

Summary: A great expansion to a great game
Review: Battlefield 1942 Expansion: The Road to Rome is an expansion to the hugely popular game Battlefield 1942 - bringing new maps, new units and new vehicles. This is definitely a great expansion, providing real improvements over the already engrossing Battlefield 1942 gameplay. The new maps include Operation Husky in Sicily and Monte Cassino, where you're assaulting a hilltop monastery. There are new vehicles too, many which help emphasize teamwork. There's the British Mosquito and the German BF-110 plus the M3 Grant tank and APCs. There are two new unit sets too - the French Legionnaires and the Italian Army. There's an upgrade included in the set which you can get for free on the web, which for dial-up users might be a big benefit. Definitely an expansion to buy for any Battlefield 1942 fan!

Summary: Great game If you have Great System
Review: This Game Is addicting and Fun .. Graphically it is a marvel to look at. With that said, those who have less than a Pentium 4 1.0 gigahertz computer need not apply. This game pushes your CPU to the limits...played this with a Pentium III 500 AND in AREAS where alot of action Pauses did accur.
Now I am running it with a Pentium 4 2.4 gigahetrz Smoothly.
Now onto the Multiplayer aspects
Multiplayer Gamers MUST Have High speed Modems.
Dial-Up WILL NOT work without slow downs and pauses
The latest 1.31 patch fixes some but not all problems with Multiplayer...
So if you have a great system and a high speed Connection, Stop reading and go Buy this game now. FIVE STARS

Summary: Buyer Bewar
Review: First of all. READ THE REQUIREMENTS! This game takes more than a store bought "I just paid 2k computer and it should run anything" type of computer. This game stretches the limits of what games can do now. You NEED a very good video card, and at least 512 ram just to play this game decently. Most store bought computers barely come with a 32ram chip and it takes about a 128 to play the game well. Also, you need a DSL, cable, satellite type internet connection to play online, dial up will not do. Aside from that, this game is incredible. The team strategies involved makes this so worth it. This isn't your typical 1st person shooter where you can run through a mob gunning everyone in their path. I love getting drilled by a sniper from 100 yards away while crawling on the ground, makes it more realstic than any shooter game I've ever played.
I highly recommend this game to those people with soupped up computers or a store bought Alienware. The rest of you...too bad.

Summary: A disappointing expansion
Review: I am a huge war buff and found the original Battle field 1942 a blast. After playing the new missions on the expansion, Road to Rome, I found they were alot of fun also. Being only 6 more missions on the whole expansion, I was a bit disappointed. Besides new vehicles, weapons, and the addition of France and Italy to the battles it is basically the same as its predacessor.Your dfinately getting a bang for your buck if your looking for great online play, otherwise it tends to get old quicklyon the single player missions.

Summary: Pass this one on, its not all that good
Review: This game would be good if it was possible to have over 100 people on a server. The maps are so huge that it takes 2-3 minutes to get into some action. Since at most 32 people can get on a server through the internet, otherwise the lag is ridiculous, the game would [be bad]. Games like Half-Life, Medal of Honor, and Unreal Tournament are great for that reason. If you die, you get right back into the battle within 10 to 15 seconds. On the otherside of the table this game is not that realistic. I mean, you control one guy who can take over a battleship and switch positions on the battleship with the push of the number pad? Personally, I like the feeling of being one person, who can control one thing at a time, or go into the battlefield with just my gun alone to fight. That's where this game lacks, most of the fighting in this game is between one guy controlling a whole battleship vs. one man who controls a tank. There is rarely man on man fighting. Vehicles are overused in this game. And like I said, this would be OK if more people could compete on one server, because then you could get more people to control one vehicle, which is realistic. On a positive note, this game has amazing graphics, and realistic weapons and vehicles. If you want mindless gaming, go with this game. But if you want unrelenting action, go with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
