    This games is fantastic. there is so much scope and room for you to explore the game in your own way. with so many different vehicles, planes,ship and many more its very difficult to get bord. if you don't like this gam then you are a complete billock.

    Too little add-ons. The new vehicles are a bit too ridiculous.

    One of the best Games of the Series and a true cornerstone to the Battlefield Franchise! Buy!

    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 Played the Orginal 1942 too much, and the Road to Rome expansion.... So this wasn´t worth the money, too little new things. Disappointed!

    Good new stuff, good update. But the Game needs a greater and better physics update to look more realistic. I'm sick of flying planes that behave like paperplanes ;)

    BF1942 = Best Game Ever. BF1942:SW = Better still!

    Not bad. 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!

    A solid addition to the Battlefield series, this expansion offers more content then Road to Rome. The objective based gameplay makes teamwork a much more necessary part of the game, Overall a good buy if you are a fan of the series.

    "Secret Weapons of WWII" is the DLC for the original Battlefield that I never bought after a little disappointment in "Road to Rome". But I spent tens of hours playing it with my friends in computer clubs :)

    Дополнение как дополнение. Предыдущее дополнение привнесло больше нового чем это, по этому ставлю меньше чем то.

    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 ;)

    Another decent DLC for Battlefield 1942. In my opinion, this beats The Road to Rome in terms of content. Bigger variety of weapons, vehicles and cool gimmicks on the new maps like the addition of a jetpack class that can be found on Essen, jet planes or the ability to launch rockets on certain maps.

    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]

    Its additions are extremely enjoyable to play around with and, in some cases, really change the gameplay of the original in new and intriguing ways.

    An expansion pack done right; it breathes some new life into the game with various extras and will have players heading back to the servers. It isn't flawless, but it's definitely a lot of fun and far better than "Road to Rome."
