A solid package that is a must-buy for all FPS enthusiasts!
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Battlefield 1942?The legendary MMOFPS that started it all packaged together with both its expansion packs doesn't only make good financial sense, but gives any war-gamer the one-box-stop to WWII heaven.Playable online or over the LAN (other than the single player option) this game pits you against some of the biggest war-machines ever produced by mankind. And not only does it let you fight against them, but USE them. Every single vehicle in this game is playable. Jump in an artillery gun and blow up an incomming tank, then jump into an AA gun and bring down some enemy planes...but it doesn't stop there! jump in a plane, fly to the enemy base, bomb it to the ground, parachute down, grab one of their tanks and blast your way back out...did I mention the naval combat? including everything from aircraft cariers, to submarines, this game covers EVERY aspect of the legendary war, the likes of which will never be wittnessed...

GREAT GAME!!! w/ its alowed couple a problems.
I play this game all the time i can. Its an incredible WW2 experience that spans so much territory with such incredible arsenals it has quickly became my favorite game. I first played it at my friends house on the original games and the next day i went out and got myself the anthology. Its perormance demands do however tend to be a little high as i have had to seet my graphics to nearly as low as possible to avoid lag and the game still looks incredible. Some of the actual gameplay problems include that though the game is designed for coordinated play whether in single player or multiplayer it doesnt always work like that. For example in single player, bots tend to run over thru fields while tanks drive right at them; another problem with bots is that they ttend to jump into vehicles and start moving with no one else in them. this is even true with multi player as people are to impatient to wait for otheres to get in 2 seater planes and such. Its like a seperate battle with teamates...

Ideal LAN action-based game
Though I am not a gaming fanatic, I occasionally get dragged from friends to internet-gaming places where I play the noteworthy games of that current period (Counterstrike, Medal of Honour, Starcraft etc). Having discovered Battlefield 1942 in the summer, I can truly say that I have spent many nights in internet-gaming places playing this, rather than actually 'going out.'I must stress that Battlefield is an excellent game to play with friends and honestly, you will lose your track of time playing it. However, I find that I can never play alone in the freedom of my house, particularly because the single-player gaming is tedious and lacks real huma challenge. Capturing bases and sustaining them becomes a lot more easier, and thus a lot of the fun is missed.The reason for the 4 star rating is though Battlefield 1942 is excellent, I feel the additions of 'Road to Rome' and especially 'Secret Weapons of WWII' are lacking. 'Road to Rome' offers several extra maps...
