Introduction
Since patching my original Battlefield 1942 I have changed my mind slightly on the game. Most of the gripes I listed in my review are now solved thanks to the excellent patches provided by the developers.
In fact if I reviewed B1942 in its present, patched, form it would easily get the Platinum Award, and I would not hesitate to say it was the best FPS multiplayer game I have ever played.
Now this gem has a new add-on pack, adding the much wanted Italian campaign to the fray. Add-on packs though are notorious for either adding too little to be worth the asking price, or have too much that they dramatically alter the balance the game once had. Does B1942: The Road to Rome follow the trend?
Compatibility
* The original Battlefield 1942 game is required to play The Road to Rome.
If the main game worked fine on your system so will this. Some levels are a bit bigger, so if you were on the borderline of mass slowdown you may have some problems here.
