Great Concept....bad game

As much as I loved the concept of the game (being able to control every aspect of a modern war) I would have to say I would have appreciated playing this game on a PC more than on my PS2. Why?
Simply because of the controls. You have to memorize a VERY large amount of command functions before you can play fluidly at all. You have the normal buttons as one command, then you can you use those same buttons as another command if you use another button to shift it first. Then you can use the command buttons again only if shifted again by another button. With the PS2 controller already having 8 oft used buttons I don't want to memorize 24 different command combinations or even 16. I have enough games where I have to have the buttons memorized.

I bought this game because i though it was like you were a person with a gun and could ride in tanks and airplanes, but its noting like that. all it is is you controling your little soliders to attack whatever you click on, sounds fun huh? well to me the lasting appeal is 1 min. if you want something like airplanes and tanks and machines guns to be controlable get 1942:battlefield for the pc its way better then this. i would rate this on a scale from 1 to 10 a negative 10. its not even worth a dime. Thats why i rated this 1 star

this game is horrible

I bought this game for my husband because he enjoys warfare games. I thought this would be a great game for him. However, it seemed to deal more with the political aspect than much actual fighting. He hasn't played it since the first 15 minutes he tried it out. He much prefers Medal of Honor and Conflict Desert Storm.

Fine if you get it at a bargain price

In Conflict Zone, it's the year 2010 and the forces of peace (the ICP) are fighting against the forces of chaos (GHOST). Both manipulate the media to tell their story.

On one hand this is your traditional strategy combat game. You control troops, you build barracks and weapons factories, you crank out marines, grenadiers, tanks and jeeps.

On the other hand, the media is always watching. So it's important to build refugee camps, show just how much work you're doing to maintain peace, and get key shots of the enemy and the atrocities they are committing. That media attention - and your subsequent popularity - are just as key to winning the war as actual units and troops are.

The graphics are resonably good, rolling across the meadows and mountains of the Ukraine and other hot-spots. You can zoom in and out and rotate at whim, getting a super-close-up of your units or a far-off view of the field. The AI is also reasonable, with units coordinating attacks on the most important targets first.

What really was annoying, though, was the interface. I've played hundreds of strategy games - it's my favorite type of game to play - and even with the tutorial the unit control in this game was pretty awful. I've heard this from many, many other people, and some simply refused to play after the first few attempts. I don't know I would give up on it quite that quickly, but it definitely makes the game far more frustrating than it should be.

Also, the various cut scenes of talking heads telling you to "save the civilians" or "kill the enemy base" never line up properly with the mouths moving. The mouths sit there yapping for a good 5-10 seconds after the speech is done. There are various little things like that that, while not major when it happens once, get really annoying when they are happening continuously.

It's a very nice attempt at something "different" with the media angle, but it ends up being a not-great strategy game with a PC bent to it. You should be able to find this for half price or less, so it might be a good "in between" game to play while waiting for one of your must-haves to come out.

This game is exactly like the Westwood famous Command and Conquer series and can be likened to the Playstation games, retaliation and Command & Conquer except with better graphics. The tanks are good graphics, while the people look like little tips of twigs. The buildings appear exactly like C&C Generals and it reminds me alot about it. The Commanders mouths do keep talking after the voice stops but its not bad. The plotline is good enough and it certainly is a great game to entertain you until the new games you have been waiting for come out.

One tight game !!!!!
