Video Game Reviews of Battlefield: 1942
Customer Review: Laginness + waste of money + no single player = This game
Summary: 1 Stars
I had read excellent reviews of this game; The description in gaming websites said it was great; The box looked good and promised hours of fun. So I went and buyed it. 2 days later, I'm regretting having spent my money on this game. I should have bought something that can be played. Now I have to start saving money all over again, and this time I will choose the game I buy VERY carefully.
I'm saying "something that can be played" because, my computer exceeds the minium requirements several times, and so does my internet connection speed, but still, for some reason, this game keeps crashing, hicupping, and becoming laggy, even on single player. This means, that, when you click to fire, you must wait 5 seconds before a bullet comes out, you teleport to random areas of the map every second, and you can't move. That is what happens 5% of the time. In the other 95%, the game crashes and you have to restart your computer.
However, if you have a computer so powerful, and with an astronomical internet connection, that the U.S Army hasn't taken it away from you to use it as a spy plane, you should buy it.
If you don't have such a good computer, stay away from this game and buy "Operation Flashpoint: Game of the Year Edition". It works in terrible computers, and what is even better, it has single player too.
Or, if you don't have enough money, and live in the U.S, you can go to a Recruitment Office and ask for a game called "America's Army". It's a free game, developed by the army. It works, has some single player, and if you have a internet connection, you'll be able to experience it's excellent multiplayer. (Hey! Maybe they used one of those super computers I mentioned to develop it)

Summary: 5 Stars
Very nice game to play, since I got hooked on it 2 years ago I haven't stopped playing it since then. Yes, not a lot of maps are provided in the game, but you can easily download different maps from like www.fileplanet.com for free. There are all sort of mods for this game, even a Star Wars mod with Star Wars weapons and vehicles.
Some people say that the bots in single player mode are easy but you can change the level of difficulty and other option and it can get pretty tuff. You want it to be really challenging reduce the ratio between each team like 1:10 and see how tuff it gets. But, it is true playing in multiplayer mode is much exciting especially if it is with friends so you can form groups and decide on tactics.
Customer Review: excellent game
Summary: 4 Stars
This has to be on the top ten 1st person shooter games. It is awsome to put the A.I. level on low and completely abolish the nazi forces. I greatly enjoy using the Artillery on miniscule little soilders in the Pacific Theatre or take down five guys at once with the tanks. There are many "mods" you can download to completely change the game, for example, you can change it to become all modern warfare, or explore as pirates.
PROS: Excellet first person shooter, wide range of maps, excellent vehicles.
CONS: A.I. a little weak, loading times can sometimes be slow, sound could be improved.
OVERALL: I give this 4 out of 5 stars because it has excellent game play, but some small details are lacking.
Customer Review: This game is awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars
First off this game is great fun. I have spent so many hours playing this that it is not funny. I like this game because you can jump in and get some action. It's not an all out frag game, but that makes it more enjoyable. This isn't a non-stop blaster game, it actually requires a little bit of thinking and patience.
Defend a position or go on the offensive. Fly a plane or drive a tank. Many choices for you to make. Great game. Just gets better with time. This game kept me going hardcore for a year or more. I loved it.
Customer Review: NOT that great
Summary: 3 Stars
I heard this game was really really good so I bought it. I liked at first, but after a few days it got boring. Not only that but it takes forever to respawn. Another thing is that its TOO realistic that the gun moves up when you shoot. They should just keep the gun straight so you could shoot more accurately. After a while the battles start becoming the same.
