The graphics aren't all that hot, either. That said, the game still improves on its predecessor with a solid variety of missions that are actually fun to play through, though a little frustrating.
Ultimately, it'll appeal more to someone who isn't particularly interested in constantly issuing dozens of commands or taking 10 minutes to walk five yards through a city. Plus, the addition of splitscreen cooperative play ekes out a little extra longevity. Definitely worth a rental if you're craving some urban combat. No war unfolds exactly as planned, but it's Desert Storm It's improbably glitchy gameplay that guarantees this battle a place in the annals of martial mistakes.
While serving Uncle Sam, we saw spotlights shine through solid concrete, walls shoot, and enemies materialize from thin air. Who knows, perhaps it was all some kind of Iraqi psy-ops?
In a game torn from yesterday's headlines, your squad of four troopers airdrops into mostly urban war zones to tackle three times as many Iraqis as in the original.
Funny, but I didn't notice any boost in brainpower in the version I tried. Games like these that are current with world affairs are quite rare, that's why it's a bit odd to see the GameCube version just coming out since Saddam Hussein has been captured and the war is effectively over. With the current events that have taken over the headlines, logical thinking would imply that Conflict: Desert Storm II would coincide with the events that just took place.
Logical thinking can sometimes be a liar, however, because you're takin' over daddy Bush's war. Still, Conflict does a good job of finding its niche in a crowded tactical market, as it strikes a balance between tactical realism and arcade action. Tactical strategy can definitely be enforced here since each of the four members of your task force has sharply unique abilities, but you can also opt for frantic, blood pumping action if you prefer ' both styles work here.
Despite the versatile nature of the game, there are still some substantial problems. The AI is decent, but just decent is a shortcoming in a tactical game like this.
As long as you can live with the overall shallowness of it all, there is a lot to admire here. The action is relentless and challenging, even if enemy spawn points are obvious to locate and further break down the immersion factor. The control system, initially as confusing as the Greek legal system, becomes second nature quickly, even if it's mostly just used as a way of positioning your team to set up effective 'kill zones'. The enemy Al works as well as your own team's, with bad guys making good use of cover, lobbing grenades to try to pin you down and generally behaving like the ill-trained Iraqi soldiers they represent.
Ultimately it's an improvement over the previous game -a million light years better than Delta Force: Black Hawk Down -but it's still nowhere near as involving as Operation Flashpoint.
