Battlefield 1942

Review by DeAdLy Spy

"Get ready to ship out soldier!"

Gameplay: 10 of 10
You can do so much in this game it's unbelievable. From manning Anti-Air guns to driving tanks or even flying planes. They have so many roles you can play and that is what makes this fun. You can choose from a few roles on the BattleField. You can be a Medic,Engineer,Anti-Tank,Scout and Infantry. Each role gets a different set of weapons so each one has it's up and downs to balance the game out. This game comes with a wide variety of vehicles. From Jeeps to Tanks to Airplanes to Submarines. If it was in WW2 it's in this game. Feel like shooting down some planes? Go man the Anti-Air gun and start shooting. Feel like sinking a ship? Jump in the submarine and shoot torpedo's. This game has alot of variety so it's never the same game twice.

Graphics: 10 of 10
These are one of the best graphics I ever seen in a game. You can actually see the people blinking and their lips move. If someone is driving the jeep and a enemy is shooting at him you'll see him duck his head down. Everything is really intact. If an explosion hits the building you'll see a big hole in the wall. Graphics are top notch and I must say one of the best I've seen.

Sound: 9 of 10
This game has great sounds. The explosions and gun fire are all really intact. From water swaying on the beach to airplanes motors it's all there.

Singleplayer: 5 of 10
This game isn't strong in the SinglePlayer are. The singleplayer is basically just like training for online battle. The AI in this game is horrible. No matter what they usually take a vehicle and stay stuck somewhere. The singleplayer is really the only bad part about this game. Other than some AI flaws singleplayer is ok.

The BF1942 Community: 7 of 10
Just like any online game you will see good and bad players. I do not mean skill wise but rather people that are good and people that are bad. Some people think it's cool to go and kill the teammates which really sucks. IF you find a server where people actually play as a team you will have loads of fun.

OverAll:
If you're looking for a single player game look another direction but if you're looking for a awesome online experience this is a very good choice. With so much to do in this game and a expansion pack coming out soon best believe that this game is going to be around for a while.
