So far, at least four different sites have managed to grab some hands-on time with the upcoming Battlefield 1943. Team Xbox (http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/2254/Battlefield-1943/p1/) has a nice two page spread that outlines the key changes made to the game since 1942.
Whether you're an old fan from the PC days, or someone totally new to the experience, you shouldn't let Battlefield 1943's thinness detract you. It's still a great game, and looks better than ever thanks to the fact that it's powered by the Frostbite engine, the slick graphical engine that powers the great-looking Battlefield: Bad Company. It may be a smaller treat than the original, but it's a tastier one.
More hands-on impressions come from GameSpot (http://gdc.gamespot.com/story/6206929/), Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/battlefield-1943-hands-on), and InsideGamer.nl (http://www.insidegamer.nl/xbox360/battlefield1943pacific/impressies/24634) (translated URL (http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.insidegamer.nl%2Fxbox360%2F battlefield1943pacific%2Fimpressies%2F24634&lp=nl_en&btnTrUrl=Translate%22)).
If that weren't enough for you, there are new videos showcasing previously unreleased footage of the game and interviews with the game's developers. Here's the first glimpse at the Iwo Jima map from Battlefield 1943.

Gamereactor has two additional videos. One is a brief overview (http://gamereactor.se/grtv/?id=4304) of Iwo Jima and a short discussion about what to expect in 1943, and the other is an interview (http://gamereactor.se/grtv/?id=4316) with Patrick Liu.
