5.0 out of 5 stars EA is hot with this series., October 19, 2003

By 

Gordan Freeman "The Cynical Game Reviewer" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)

If you find yourself worrying about the fact the game has been out only a year, and there are already two expansions, just cancel that. And I'll tell you why:

First off, secret weapons of WWII although an expansion, feels at times like I whole new game. It brings things to the multiplayer mega-seller that were missing from the previous two releases, the game feels more complete with this add-on. (as opposed to the last expansion, Road to Rome, which left me wondering why I bought it.) Secret weapons brings not only a slew of new and cool weapons like, jetpacks, AA tanks, shotguns, Motercycles, and others, but also new gameplay modes. There are now objectives to certain maps, which makes the battles seem more meaningfull.

I personally enjoy this game simply for the shotguns, jets, and aa tanks, but everyone has their personal favorite addition to the battlefield world. If your looking for improved graphics, no luck there, its just an expansion, but if your getting bored with the old maps, and weapons this game is for you.

PROS:
More in depth maps.
More weapons including: 2 different kinds of jets, a cargo plane that is a spawn point, a tank with a naval gun attached to it, an aa tank, motercycle with a gun turret on the passanger carriage, shotguns, and more.
Objective based maps. (sweet)

CONS:
Not enough additions, I thought there might be more.
Too many glitches left untouched
Maps sometimes too small for the fast moving jet planes, making it hard to concentrate on firing, and watching the map limits at first.

Personally, Id say this game is worth your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game, but there are some drawbacks!, April 20, 2004

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)

This Battlefield 1942 expansion pack is a very good one. The weapons are better, quite a few more vehicles, the enemy is more challenging, and several other new things are great. The drawbacks of this game are some of the following:

1. As one user stated, some maps are too small for fast moving aircraft.

2. The game alot of times runs slow, even on a good system.

3. There are only 8 new levels. Four or five of them aren't that cool.

4. The super heavy tank with the AA gun is too slow.

5. The intro shows the tank with the missles shooting them at very fast speeds. The actual shooting speed in the real game is about 1/4 as fast as it shows them traveling in the intro.

Overall though, this a very fun game. The jetpack lets you jump onto tall buildings, and shoot down on people. I love it! For $20.00, this is a very fun and great game. Just make sure you have a good system when you buy it. The best levels buy the way are Hellendoorn and The Gothic Line. The worst level is Kbely Airfield, and it is terribly boring.

By the way, did you notice the new blood effects when you are shot or when you are shooting the enemy soldiers. Check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars So cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, March 4, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)

This is an awesome game!!!!!! There are awesome new maps, vehicles and weapons!!!!! My personaly favorite vehicle is probably the new Cargo Plane. You can even SPAWN on one of those! It really packs a punch in the Axis defenses!!! Tons of guys can parachute out at a time right on to an Axis control points! But it has 1 weakness. Since it is so big, guys in AA guns, atop of Flakpanzers, and in Wasserfall command pillboxes on the ground, can easily hit it. The Wasserfalls are missles you guide with your mouse. Their good too! (: Now, before I leave, I just wanna go over some pros and cons.

Pros

Cool graphics
Awesome intro
Great sound and music
JETPACK!!! And other cool weapons and vehicles
Awesome new maps!!!!(My favorite is Telemark Research Base)
And many more pros!

Cons

None



So. What are you wating for? Don't just watch an incandescent computer screen when you can buy this awesome game NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
