This game is cool for the first time around but after a while it gets lame like for example do you know how many hits it takes the enemy to ill you? and also you could get stuck in trees i could go on and on about it but overall its ok
Terrible controls

The graphics are great, but the controls absolutely stink. If the controls were the same like for the James Bond games it would be great. Unfortunately the controls are terrible and I dont recommend this game because of that. I have been playing video games for 12 years now and I couldnt even make the guy move straight or aim straight.
A worthy rental

I admit, I love video games that reenact wars. That's why I decided to check out Conflict: Desert Storm for the Xbox. My friend and I rented the game for the weekend because games that allow you to control your team usually catch my eye. Yet, this game was disappointing. The controls were the main problem. The controls were probably the only problem as well. It was difficult to tell what X, Y, A, and B did so I constantly asked my friend if he had figured out what they did.
The team based action was fun and interesting. Still, the controls got in the way. For some reason I was not able to shoot while running, but instead I had to come to a complete stop before I could fire back on the opposing enemy. The environment was detailed and vast, but it was a problem because I could not directly choose what weapons I wanted to equip to my solider. The only way that could be accomplished was by switching the controllers into the different slots.
In conclusion, I beleive that this game is not necessarily worth buying unless you are a true war game fan. However, with a party of 4, this game can provide fun in about a 5-hour period.
Let Down

I just got through playing Splinter Cell. This Game was a complete let down. The movement of the soilder is choppy and un-responsive. No realism what so ever. As an arcade shooter its probably OK. If you've played S.C. Don't expect much!
Great Game!!!

The only reason some even love this game is because of the political situation U.S and Iraq had since the start of March. People, this game is by far arcade-like than a near-simulation. I know most of you people/gamers know this but what's the point? I prefer Battlefield 1942 more than this one. Battlefield gives you more weapons, options to drive vehichles, plus many different weapons. The missions are also too over the top. There was no mission at all ordering Special Forces to save the Emir of Kuwait. He left the night war began, and was taken to the Saudi Border sorrounded by his most trusted National Guards. Plus neither Kuwait City nor Baghdad looked that Ancient! OK....maybe Baghdad but Kuwait had Skyscrapers, very wide roads and no Arabian architectural buildings at all. Hence: this game was rushed and not thought out! The iraqi army, just for argument's sake, didnt wear beige or brown army unifroms but green! Dark green to be more exact! And where was the Republican guards in the Baghdad mission? You know that only Republican guards guard the capital, HENCE: Dark green unifroms, white belts, AK-47U rifles (only they have it) and red Hats. PLus, what really got me mad was the fact that there were no instant battle modes. And the fact that the maps or locations werent clearly tohught about and werent in the proper places or details. The thing that really made me laugh was killing general Aziz. Hello?? doesnt the word "Still Alive" ring any bell? And where were the tank missions? ooo I forgot, 1 mission only. And incase environmentals didnt mention it already, look at the media, there's no hilly landscape in Iraq, only near kirkuk in the north, but everyone knows that it wasnt involved in 1991 gulf war. I hope desert sabre will BE ATLEAST apercentage close to Battlefield than it was with this game. Conclusion: Dont waste your precious money.
trop facile a finir le jeu

ok, in CDS you play as four guys in the military, who are friggin' stupid. I mean, when you compare this to a game like
Socom, it starts to make you wonder, why am i even playing Desert Storm? The graphics.... horrible. They are N64 quality
and the cutscenes are just as bad as the graphics. Your teammates... not such a big help. When you tell them to hold their fire and a Iraqi is right next to them blowing their brains out, what do they do? Sit there getting shot. The game isn't realistic. When your shot in the face, your still alive. Sure it helps you but its unrealistic. And when you use an anti air craft missle thing and use it on the tanks, nothing happens!
I was never in the military but don't grenades damage tanks, and shooting them in the side should hurt them. But no. If you want to play desert storm, invite 3 friends over. Oh yeah, the menu screens... Craptastic! With the horrible presentation, bad ai, lack of realism and strategy leaves this game to warn people to probably rent it.... Or not

This is an awesome game altogether. 1st you've got the 4 player cooperate ability, meaning 1-4 players can play on the same team through the story line. 2nd you've got a wide range of guns, bombs, and medics( medics are able to heal you. and your team mates can heal you if you are dead). The guns have realistic settings including, grenade shot, single shot, and fully automatic. 3rd your players increase in skill and can earn badges. they also get certain recognition, in stars. Like if you are an expert with bombs, you can become a bomb specialist wicth in return, arms you with more bombs on the next level. To sum it all up this game will keep you addicted for months, and it's worth every penny, certainly a good buy for any gamer.
diffcult game

I have found conflict desert storm to be a fairly diffcult game to play. The graphics are ok. It is very hard to aim the rifle i think it was an m16, you can't run and shot easliy. I had it on the easy level and i could not get the half way point. If you fail to complete the mission the game has to be reloaded it takes two to three minutes. There are no checkpoints along the way.
If i had to do it over i would not have bought desert storm. I would wait until november 15 for metal of honor to come out or the new james bond game to come out, which if it is anything like the first Bond game (agent under fire) it is a can't miss game.
