Summary: Battlefield 1942 is simply the best
Review: My brother and I bought this one day after playing it at a friends house. Let me tell you this, it is well worth your money.

Ok, let's get started!

Pros:

1) Awesome vehicles and weapons
2) Very detailed
3) Great A.I. skills- Easy is easy and hard is hard
4) Awesome choices-(Medic, Engineer, Anti-Tank, Assault, Sniper)
5) Great Music
6) You can play online for free!

Cons:

1) Play is sluggish on old computers
2) Could use a varied assorment of music
3) Map loading time is very slow
4) Needs more maps (Problen solved with "Road to Rome Expansion Pack")

As you can see, there are many pros and cons. But don't let the cons make it seem bad. It is the opposite. In the Battlefield 1942 game, i belive there are 16 maps (could be 12). The "Road to Rome" expansion pack gives you 8 more maps and 2 new armies. (Although I have not bought it yet.)

Overall, don't let all the bad reviews give you second thoughts. This game is well worth your money. I guarentee that. It has been rated #1 in many aspects of the game by a myriad of magazines and gamers like myself.

If you do decide to get this game, you won't regret it.

Summary: Too much fun to be legal!
Review: I bought this game upon the recommendation of "Extended Play" review and favorable reviews from owners. If you buy this game you might as well settle in with massive quantities of snacks and sodas-IT IS AWESOME! 2-3 hours at one sitting is commonplace, it is that much fun. I am relatively new at gaming, and more so at PC gaming, but I am loving this! Amazon.com made a great deal on the Deluxe Edition, with "Road to Rome" expansion pack and free shipping! ...

Summary: This is the best!!!
Review: This is the best game you will ever play. YOu can go to battlefieldfiles.com and get DC downloads so you can fly the new fighter jet,apachi helicopters,and stealth bombers. Even if you don't like fps you can kick the [crud] outta people in a plane. Good graphics, good sound,good action,its perfect. YOu need about a pentium 3 to run it. This game is good for everyone, have fun.

Summary: This game is a twinkee... great taste, no substance.
Review: Two of my favorite types of games are First-Person Shooters and Flight Simulators, naturally this game grabbed me right away and I bought it. I thought it was the greatest thing out there... for the first two weeks then I went back to Day of Defeat ...
The Good:
This is a one of a kind game, in the fact that it is the first WWII online game to let anyone pilot or drive any vehicle you can get your hands on. This is also one of the first games to let you play with 64 people at the same time. That is about were the good goes sour.

The Bad:
Yeah vehicles are a good idea, but the physics of the Jeeps, APCs, Planes, tanks... and every vehicle in the game seem skewed. The land vehicles slide all over the place making it tough to manuver on treacherous terrain. After some getting use to it though, you can manage. Playing with 64 people is great, except finding a server with that many people playing is difficult. I have seen maybe 3 or 4 64 player servers with A: maxed out people or B: a good pin,g in the months I have had this game. If you are one of the few gamers without a broadband connection, don't even bother, you don't stand a chance online and the single player AI requires a monster machine to run if you want them to be the least bit challenging. Also, the difficulty levels swing from every bot seeming to have a labotomy, to now they are all suddenly Rambo and you get sniped from all the way across the map by some bot with a pistol named Henry Weiner. The weapon models are all pretty ugly, especially the BAR, which looks like something you'd see in your nephews toy chest. The other thing that irks me about this game is it is a WWII simulation with no M1 Garand... just pitiful.

Buy this game if:
-You have a 2.0+ ghz machine, at least 256 megs of RAM, a 64mb video card, a broadband internet connection, you enjoy poorly done vehicles and physics, and you are a glutton for punishment.

Don't buy this game if:
-You want to have fun. Your better off getting the Day of Defeat mod for Half-life ...

Summary: A great change from Medal of Honor
Review: As I was reading the back of the game, it hit me that Battlefield was a remake of Medal of Honor. Little did I realize that when I actually played the game, I was very wrong. Battlefield 1942 has some major features that MOH could never have pulled off. In Battlefield, you take part in some of the biggest and most important operations in WW2 including the ever popular Omaha Beach and Market Garden. The gameplay is awesome. You fight alongside your allies in 12 action packed missions with very similar objectives: (capture all outposts to hold the enemy at bay), You can take the place of 5 different posistions in the army (scout, assault, anti-tank, medic, and engineer) each has special techniques and unique weapons(utilize all 5 to maximize your gaming experience). A bonus feature in Battlefield is the ability to use any kind of artillery you find in the battlefield ranging from German Panzers, Sherman tanks, AA guns,airplanes,jeeps,halftraks, the all powerful Tiger Tank, and pilot battleships, carriers, and LCPs.
So choose your side(axis or allies) and get ready for a side of WW2 you have never seen before.
Bottom Line: Battlefield 1942 is fully loaded and ready to blow you away.

Summary: Good but not what it was hyped up to be...
Review: Excellent game but definitely NOT what it was hyped up to be. I finished the single player campaign in 6 hours(yes its just that easy to do on the average setting) and realized in that time that my teamates AI was terrible-they were standing there shooting at prone targets 6 feet away from them and missing and then half my team was looking the other way in the Battle of the Bulge when the enemy was not 30 yards away from them cutting them all to ribbons...I had to reload every 5 seconds....medics get more firepower that assault troopers ( I held off what seemed to be the entire force of Iwo Jima with a medic!!Hunkered down in a bunker with an unlimited ammo supply right next to me lol).
So I do recommend it but take all the reviews with a huge grain of salt-ive seen better offerings out there. Oh yeah and when i tried to run ppl over with the tank they STOOD on the hood of the tank and came along for the ride I saw this happen alot and wondered if this was the way it was intended becuse it looks ridiculous I had to laugh even though I was intent on using my tank as an infantry mower. Also how does a palm tree stop a tank? Fact is it doesnt except in this game...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hope you have a killer pc
Review: This game, is great. Probably the best game to ever hit the shelves, BUT, hope you have a killer PC with lots of RAM, good graphics card and memory. This game will be very jerky and laggy even on low settings. Everything else on it is good, the weapons and the vechiles are amazing. Just hope you have a VERY good pc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best! You will play it over and over
Review: This game is a significant mark in the gaming history. It has got all the entertainment factors gamer is looking for. Nice graphics, breath taking missions, ease of use, u can play more than one role, sniper, medic, engineer and so on in wonderfull missions of WWII. I have finished the compaigns more than twice, and i find it real fun in multiplayer specially whenever there are more than 6 players! You can share riding a plane with a friend or drive a heavy tank together to crush your enemies. It is a really very nice game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game BUT..........
Review: If you are one of the unfortunate few out there that can't get broadband where you live, like me...save your money on this game. It is a GREAT game and I love playing it but when I am at home with my dial-up, I can't stand it much. If you do have Broadband, BUY this game and enjoy it. You will love it. I didn't read many reviews of this game cause I didn't have to but this was to inform you dial-up users. Good Gaming!!

Summary: Would be nice if the game worked
Review: I have tried this game on 3 different computers. All with the min. requirements and nothing. I have nephew that got the game for Xmas, its still sitting on the shelf because it will not work on his computer either.
These are all Win98 O/S with XP-1800 or better processors, 512meg ram, and with at least 64meg video cards. Everytime I call the computer they want you to spend money to try and get it to work. I am sadly disappointed in this game. I have been told that if it works its really nice to play... but... i have not seen it yet....
:(
a very unhappy customer
