I have been disappointed before but this goes beyond. Here is why I dislike the game so much. 1. Graphics are really ps1 type style. 2. The view mode sux I keep having to switch 1st person view just to aim better. 3. weapon choices you cant even choose your men or weapons! I played spec ops along time ago this is its exact duplicate.

obvious manipulation

This game, released only a few months before the ill-named Operation Iraqui Freedom, is an obvious manipulation of public opinion and propaganda. The fact that this game is intended for people as young as thirteen, who don't have any real knowledge of what is happening in the Middle-East is astounding and makes it apparent that it is just another attempt to reinforce the status quo of America=Good, Saddam=Bad, while the truth is and will continue to be America=Bad, Saddam=Bad. Save your money and don't buy into corporate produced, highly patriotic games which only reinforce the notion that war is a game. The use of video footage from the battle field, the jargon of "smart bombs" and video games such as this one are an ill-concieved, yet seemingly effective strategy to take pressure off of the real situation, one in which you can't just continue after you're shot. ...

sorry, but this game ...

i really wanted to like this game but it was not possible. i read all the reviews (for and against) before purchase and decided what the hell. one review i read said this game plays likes it's on ps one. ditto. this is unaccpetable. i'll admit i was coming off just having played socom and was looking for more of the same. you'd have more fun playing socom over again. this game is slow, choppy and awkward. playability is very poor. half the time you are a sitting duck for the iraqis, you can't see them but they can somehow see you. this game could have and should have been so much better. i'm now playing socom again.

The Worst Game Ever. Avoid it like the plague

I was in the mood for a change of pace from first person shooters, so I rented Conflict desert Storm thinking there might be a little more strategy involved. Much to my dismay, this has turned out to be the worst game I have ever played. The graphics are pitiful and the animation is choppy, the load times are unforgivably long, the controls are a joke, the combat is just unbearably terrible, and, basically, this game is just terrible. I only rented it, and I felt like I had been [taken]. I have a suspicion that this game was just a rush job made for no other purpose than to shamefully cash in on the recent hype surrounding another war with Iraq.

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.

Lousy Game

This game is horrible. Control is very akward, graphics are not up to par with current games, and the game seems to have been rushed into production. If you want a game in this genre, look to SOCOM for the PS2. It is the best out there by far.

The Poor Man's SOCOM

Are you kidding me? How can anybody give this thin, underdeveloped cartoon of a game 5 stars? I read all the glowing reviews here on Amazon and, being a hardcore SOCOM fan, was conviced that I'd have a great time playing Conflict: Desert Storm. Oh boy. My disappointment began as soon as the title screen appeared, followed by a truly pathetic cut-scene. It's like the game's designers haven't played anything since Commodore 64! The graphics are as bland as a coloring-book and the levels are as exciting as Al Gore. Yuck, what a complete waste of money. I was fortunate enough, though, to trade this game in for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and I couldn't be happier. Splinter Cell is everything that C:DS isn't, IT'S FUN!

Please, don't be fooled. Rent C:DS before you even think about buying it. And that goes for it's sequel, too. I'm never going to buy anything else from Gotham Games.

PS, I do have to admit that the drill sgts were amusing to listen to, but even they could have been improved. Why not get R. Lee Ermey to do the job? His voice alone could have blown the doors off this game.

It could be a lot better.

The game is good in one way. That is the simulation, it simulates real combat warfare. Other than that, the controls are scattered and hard to maneuver around on the controller. The game is very slow in its reponse system The targeting system is poor and causes you to shoot at walls, rocks, houses...etc. This is one game that you probably want to pass over ...

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THE GAME

This game is ok. the graphics stink, but the gameplay is good. The game is really easy. The only good part about it is the multi-player. Its alot of fun. If your looking for a good military/shooter, go with SOCOM: US NAVY SEALs. the best shooter is halo, but its for Xbox. : <
