Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
This multiplayer-focused expansion pack features more maps, more vehicles, and more fighting forces. The Road to Rome focuses exclusively on the key Italian and Sicilian campaigns of WWII. Each map comes with highly detailed environments such as Italian houses, Mediterranean trees, and even the Monte Cassino Monastery. This expansion pack features eight new vehicles including the German BF-110 and British Mosquito twin-engine fighter-bombers as well as new Italian, British, and German tanks and anti-tank guns. Play as several infantry classes, controlling many weapons available to the Axis and Allies, and commanding numerous land vehicles, ships, and aircraft. The original Battlefield 1942 game is required to play The Road to Rome. [Electronic Arts]

Continues the success and balanced gameplay that was found in the original.

PC Gameworld
Everybody’s game of the year continues to rock with six new maps, new sides (Italy and France), vehicles, weapons and more.

IGN
Considering Battlefield is such a fundamentally awesome game, Road to Rome managing to significantly improve the base in the ways that it does is at the very least commendable and the very most fantastic.

As any fan of this outstanding multiplayer game will explain, six new maps for Battlefield 1942 is almost like adding six new sequels to the game. [Apr 2003, p.100]

GameSpot
Adds even more great gameplay in the form of more-balanced maps and more-balanced vehicles to an already enjoyable game.

Gamers' Temple
If you loved Battlefield 1942, then you'll love the new maps.

GameSpy
The maps are excellent, and while we would have liked a few more new vehicles, the ones that are here are a nice addition.

TotalGames.net
This pack gives a great new lease to a game that has far from run out of steam.
85
GameZone
The new maps and vehicles are worth the 20 bucks.

GameNow
More of what made the original great, while adding welcome new touches. [May 2003, p.43]

ActionTrip
Sure it lacks more content, but what they have in there is well worth their $20 bucks, if for nothing else than for the sheer fun of playing the new and brilliantly designed maps.

While I am enjoying Road to Rome, I've a feeling that it will only live from now until the time Secret Weapons is released.

Computer Gaming World
The engineer's bayonet kill might be the most satisfying frag since "Half-Life"'s crowbar kills. [May 2003, p.92]

Adrenaline Vault
Not a very daring expansion, with battles still limited to two factions and maps that are, in many ways, a step backwards in strategy. At its price, however, it certainly delivers.

Computer Games Magazine
The stars of the show here are clearly the new maps. It's as if the team at Digital Illusions discovered exactly what everyone like about the game and created new battlefields made to directly stimulate the adrenal gland of its players. [May 2003, p.73]

Yahoo! Games
While DICE probably should have included a few more maps, and some editing material so that modders could more easily build on what they've been provided (you can release that software developer's kit any time now, EA!), it's hard to argue with this expansion when everything included in it is so good.

Electric Playground
The most enjoyable new aspects of the expansion are the vehicles, and nearly every side gets new ones.

GMR Magazine
You will get enough to satisfy your battlefield cravings, but these extras could have - and maybe should have - been offered as a free download, not a $17.99 purchase. [May 2003, p.69]

Just doesn’t have the significant number of new maps or gameplay changes that make an amazing expansion pack. Luckily does provide a good amount amusement for 20 bucks, making it a lot of bang for you’re buck.

We would have liked more maps and a solid fix for the sound problems.

Eurogamer
It’s a shame EA feel the need to charge their swelling community for the privilege of getting their hands on a smattering of new missions and models which should have been in the game in the first place.
