The game takes place on a number of historic battlefields ranging from the deserts of North Africa to the bombed out cities of Stalingrad and Berlin. In other words, I don't like cakes full of bugs, and "Battlefield 1942" is a delicious cake overrun with the stingingest bitingest ants you have ever seen. What I don't like about layer cake is when you leave it sitting on the kitchen table and then ants come in and burrow into it and make their abode in the center of the cake like some formic gingerbread home. It's sweet, it's complex, you've got the thick icing that makes you feel like you got kicked in the stomach after you're done eating it. I hope you enjoy loading screens, because Battlefield 1942 has several of them in store for you at every turn! The game is full of technical errors and oversights and since it was published by Electronic Arts you can expect about as much support on these issues as would be offered by a one-legged chair made out of glued-together light bulbs. For a game that gets so much so right, it's disappointing to find out the things that the developer got horribly wrong. You can fly planes, drive tanks, and fire artillery from war ships, among many other vehicles and emplacements. Historical inaccuracies aside, the game attempts to capture the feel if not the fact behind a number of important battles. At a Glance: "Battlefield 1942" is a tactical first-person shooter that throws the action of a game like Tribes into the setting of the Second World War.
