5.0 out of 5 stars cracking game, open play, July 27, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Deluxe Edition (CD-ROM)

I'll spare you all the usual blurb about this game and will simply sumarise by saying this:
- it's terrific fun. I mean it - it completely immerses you and makes you feel like you're there
- you can do whatever you want in each of the missions, including sitting back and watching your friends go in and try the attack themselves (and sometimes succeed!)
- the graphics, sound and gameplay are rivetting: you feel scared - as you should in this kind of game

I loved it, finished it and am playing it again. Thoroughly recommended...

Happy shopping
JB

5.0 out of 5 stars TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: THIS GAME IS GREAT, November 18, 2003

DDA for you (Tacoma, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Deluxe Edition (CD-ROM)

Well ive played some great war game befor but this is by far the greatest. After buying this game and installing it i learned 1 thing, well two.

*This game is great

*PRACTICE PRACTIC PRACTICE.

You must know your history, on some of the levels such as Omaha Beach, it shows the level with u-boats washed on the shore, wich was what really happened. Nearly everything is perfect to actual events,while some things have been add to create a better fun factor for gamers,example; more tanks on levels where there was really only 1 tank, or no tanks or vehicles. \

Playing this game takes learned skill. Flying planes for example is hard as heck the first time around, when i first started flying it was ugly , still is, but im alot beter.If you are really having problems go online and play, watch how the pro players fly and ask questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Battlefiled 1942 Deluxe Review, June 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Deluxe Edition (CD-ROM)

I've owned this game now for the past few weeks and feel I am now able to offer a review. I hope some of you find it useful.

Firstly, my comp specs:

Atlon 1.2Ghz
1 Gig Ram
Geforce 4ti 4600 Graphics Board
Win XP
512K Cable Connection

I run the game in 1024 x 728 resolution with all settings set to maximum and it runs smoothly and looks great. It only 'jerked' slightly when I was downloading a 250 mb file at the same time as playing!

The gameplay itself is fantastic. You can fly planes, drive jeeps, tanks even have access to battleships. At first these are hard to master but once you've practiced, and plenty of it, you should quickly become a force to reckoned with.

Most missions are objectively based so you will have to carry these out if you want to continue. Generally you and the enemy have a pool of lives each, which are depleted as you and your team mates get killed. You have to carry out the objectives prior to all your teams lives being used. The missions are historically based and quite accurate from what I hear too. The Road to Rome expansion pack adds to the longevity of the game offering addtional maps and missions and what also adds is the fact that you can play as either the Allies or Axis.

Where this game comes into its' own is in multiplayer mode over the internet. It is fair to say you do really need a hefty connection to get the best form this as there is so much going on. Theres nothing better than sitting in an anti aircraft placement shooting at fellow interneters in their planes as they fly overhead. You can also climb into a vehicle with one of your friends so that one drives and you've got an intelligent mate doing the shooting. On line you could just play it and play it and play it. Couple this with the desert combat mod, which gives you access to jets and helicopters and puts you in the gulf war it really is just superb.

So thats it really, a thoroughly enjoyable game, well executed in my opinion, and just great fun. Buy it and enjoy it!
