Conflict: Desert Storm

Finally something new in the gaming world of war. Previously we were engrossed in WW2 based games such as "Medal Of Honor Frontline" for the PS2 and the previous Medal Of Honor series for the PS1. However, "Conflict :Desert Storm" just takes us about a decade back, and reflects the events which occured during the Gulf War.This game can be played in both 1st and 3rd person view. You can interact with fellow soldiers, aiding you in aqquiring your goals. Get yourself buckled up in an American F-15 or a British Tornado and go find yourself some targets to destroy.

Overall, this game gives you the role of both a fighter pilot aswell as a soldier, so its going to be loads of fun. And yeah, the blood's on the house!!

So far, it looks excellent!

I've read and seen a lot about this game and it looks really cool. I especially like the co-operative play, something that SOCUM left out. The game looks like it will be really fun and will kick [rear]!

Finally, as another reviewer said, the game designers managed to pull out a game that doesnt base war on WW2 nor a war which was made up by the developers such as Dropzone: United Peace Force. The game allows you to drive several real-life U.S military vechiles and let's you use a variety of real-life weapons. The game's story is based as it was in real life! The locations start from Al-Khafji in Saudia all the way to Baghdad, Iraq.

What were they thinking?

This game looks and plays like it was designed for the PS1 and ported over to the PS2. The main problem is the graphics and framerate, the player models and textures are terrible and the gameplay is anything but smooth and consistent. As far as the actual gaming goes apparently the iraqis have super eyesight because the can see you from the moon and have the accuracy of olympic sharpshooters while you're left shooting at a single pixel of in the distance with little idea what your shooting at, where it is, and if you're hitting anything. This games a stinker, go get socom instead and save yourself a migraine from all the flickering.

Great game, but could use a little work.

I very much enjoyed this game. The play is exceptional and the wide variety of weapons is great. The "light fifty" is the best. I would have given the game five stars, but the AI's ability to see you no matter where you go is a bit frustrating. I don't see any possible way that a mission can be completed in complete stealth. The Iraqi soldiers could be five miles away and they are able to determine who you are.

Not so great

Inappropriate War Game for Young Teens

At a time when we should be doing all we can to avert a war with Iraq, this game promotes war and killing in Iraq to our young teenagers. I, as a parent of a 13 and 16-yr old, do not want my kids playing games that teach them how to kill with graphic, real-life cartoon characters. As a nation, we should be promoting peace, not war, to our children. Those who profit from such games, and desensitize our children about the horrors of real war and death, should be ashamed.

A solid game, but could be better

Conflict: Desert Storm is a good game. Not great, but not bad. As a previous reviewer said it does have some issues, framerate and character movements aren't as smooth and realistic as they could be, and yes I DID notice that the enemies seemed to be able to see you from so far away, sometimes even at night when you were ducked down doing some recon. Also, because the game takes place in the middle east, the environments aren't that veried, but of course that's not an actual fault of the game since it does stay with the subject of the game(the middle east conflict).

Even though this game isn't all around as good as SOCOM it DOES have a 2 player coop mode, and to me that makes up for what problems it has. There's nothing better than saving the free world with your buddy right beside you. I say its a worthwile game, and actually I'd give it 3 and a half stars probably, but this review doesn't allow that. Certainly rent it and even buy a used copy, although I wouldn't pay full price for it I don't think.

...This game is very good.... C:DS is a third person shooter that allows the player to command a four-man squad of either U.S. Delta Force or 22nd British SAS (Special Air Service) operators in a variety (15) of direct-action missions set during the 1991 Gulf War. Missions range from rescue operations, urban combat, SCUD hunting/killing, SAM site elimination, and others. Your squad (regardless of your "home" nation) consists of a rifleman, sniper, heavy weapons specialist, and demolitions expert. as you progess through missions, your soldiers will become more adept with their weapons and equipment. They will also rise through military ranks and (if they are REALLY good) receive awards for valor. Weapons carried by your troopers is dictated by mission requirements, although men can trade weapons and equipment amongst themselves in order to suit the needs of you, the overall mission commander.
GOOD POINTS: 1.Good background graphics with varying weather and light effects. By the way, this game has the most realistic portrayal of what the world looks like through night vision I've ever seen. 2.This game allows you to play as the British SAS! ... 3.Good interaction between soldiers, and good AI on the part of your squadmates who you are not in control of. They shoot at the enemy, and use what weapons you tell them to ...In other words, they move, shoot and duck WHEN you tell them to. 4.The "ability" to have one (or all) of your men act as medics when another squadmate goes down. However, if all are taken out at once, then that would be all she wrote... 5.Enemy AI is very good (maybe too good!). They react to your actions and provide serious resistance to you. Also, the Iraqi (Soviet-supplied) weapons and vehicles look and perform like the real thing. AK-47s, AK-74s, PKM machine guns, Dragunov sniper rifles, T-72 & T-62 tanks, and BMP-1 infantry carriers are all finely detailed, and look great. 6.The game provides a "what if" scenario (Operation Desert Saber) that the ground war didn't end so quickly, and combat was taken into the very heart of Baghdad. COOL! 7.The ability to allow you to command your men in textbook infantry combat techniques. Ambushes, supporting by fire, suppressing fires, and (I hate to say it) retreating, can all be done just like in real life infantry exercises. 8.Two-player cooperative missions using a split-screen format. Interesting, but slightly tricky to get used to. Anyway, now your girlfriend can play with you, instead of being bored by watching you. 9. The ability to take personal control of every man in your squad, and being able to decide "who goes with who and where". If you want to be your sniper (gotta love that Barrett .50 cal!) and scout ahead while everyone else hangs back, you can. If you want your heavy weapons expert and rifleman to work together to take out tanks, while the demo specialist and sniper provide cover, you can do that too. I could go on, but I'm sure that you get the idea...
BAD POINTS: ...1.Sound effects are pretty cheap. Some are good, but most are not. Especially the sounds of your team's voices, voices of the enemy, various vehicle sounds, and the sound of reloading your weapon. 2.Accuracy with weapons can be frustrating. Getting single shot kills (head shots) is very hard, and when you miss, the Iraqis waste no time in throwing some major heat your way. 3.Spoken dialogue is very corny, especially when you call for air or artillery strikes. 4.Control is very tricky to master. But, once you get it, you've got it. 5. Missions in campaign mode are the same regardless is you choose SAS or Delta soldiers. I think that the game's depth and replayability could have been greatly enhanced by a different mission progression for each of the two units. 6. this game has the worst rendering of a UH-60 Blackhawk (I guess what it is supposed to be) helo that I have EVER seen!
There are a few other good and bad points, but those are the biggest ones. ..So, before you write this one off, give it a try. You may be (much like myself) pleasantly surprised. Dare to try this one. ...

great action

This is an excellent game with intense gun battles. With a wide variety of weapons, you get to control four squad members and battle against relatively intelligent ai. You can individually control any of the squad members. Easy and good control of squad member allows you to make sound tactical decisions. The controls in the third person are a bit tricky and take a little getting used. The graphics are good. The game is a bit short, only ten to twelve hours of play providing you dont die to many times.
