    Offers a lot of content, much more so than what was available in "Road to Rome." The fact that it comes bundled with the v1.45 patch means that players will be treated to a slightly improved physics model, more player animation and better sounds, as well as numerous bug fixes and other minor tweaks.

    While single-player practice against AI teams feels drab and slow-paced, a full-blown multiplayer melee with more than 20 people per team is flat-out amazing. [Dec 2003, p.136]

    As a Battlefield 1942 fan, I can't help but get excited about the new stuff; but at the same time I feel like I'm ready for something really new to push this game beyond its basics. [Sept 2003, p.123]

    Kamikaze air attacks, det-pack-laden jeeps, hijacking enemy vehicles - it's rare for a round to go by without something amusing happening. With this expansion, DICE has taken the comedy potential of BF1942 to new heights.

    What's going to annoy people most is that the purists will want things like the mobile spawn point of the C-47, but won't be able to have them without the jet fighters and flyable missiles. And ultimately, that might mean these Secret Weapons remain completely unknown to most. [PC Gamer UK]

    If the fantasy element turns you on then go for it. Otherwise, you’re not missing much. The old formula is beginning to look dog-eared.

    They don't feel much different from regular guns and planes. [Dec 2003, p.86]

    A well pack up expansion pack to the standard game, which bring to us new maps, weapons and items.
    Intro is still watchable to this date ;)

I love BF1942, and this provides more good stuff. The maps are uneven, however; some are really good, while others are frustratingly geared towards anti-aircraft battles. The new planes and weapons are cool for a while, but get old. The only exception is the shotgun, which RULES!… Expand

    Played the Orginal 1942 too much, and the Road to Rome expansion.... So this wasn´t worth the money, too little new things. Played the Orginal 1942 too much, and the Road to Rome expansion.... So this wasn´t worth the money, too little new things. Disappointed! And the intro wasn't the best I've seen, the contruction during the intro of the new weapons killed the feeling of them. But the idea for 1942 is good so it gets a 6 from me. But I really would like to kill all the people in the other team before I win.… Expand
