VERY REALISTIC. I was suprised to see gamespot.com give it only an average review. Gamespot says "there is no blood in this game". That is false!! There is blood when you shoot someone. And its cool because if you shoot a guy in the leg they will bleed from the leg or wherever you shoot them they will bleed. There is not massive blood like there probably would be in real life, but there is blood. I mean, how unrealistic would a war game be without blood. Gamespot also complains its too hard and time consuming to switch weapons and to heal yourself with the medkit. Well hello, if your a soldier in real life and you have to put on a bandage to heal a wound you can't just push a single button and have it done in 1 second. Just like in real life, even if your in combat, this game makes you reach into your backpack, scroll thru a list with recognizable icons and grab whatever you need from it. Its really not that hard but does take a few seconds as it should if you've been wounded and need to heal yourself. Gamespot also says that your fellow soldiers don't die. This is also false. Although you can keep healing your squad from major injuries if their health meter runs out, they will die if you don't get to them fast enuff with the medkit. Overall this is a very fun and realistic war game.Sound Again very realistic. One of the coolest is you always know when a tank is sneaking up on you because you can hear the sound of its rattling rollers beating the ground and it gets louder as it comes closer. There are also different sounds for each machine gun, very fun for guys into guns. This game has gone to painstaking effort to make every little thing as realistic as possible I'm so very impressed. What i've mentioned are only a couple examples as there are millions of others.Gameplay Gameplay is fast paced and a map is always available at the push of a button so you know where you are and where you need to go. Mission briefs are stated right by the map and point to areas you need to be in to complete objectives. One thing I like is the realistic damage to the envrionment and objects you shoot at. Example: your shooting at a gunman in the desert with a machine gun. If your aim is a little off and you shoot into some sand you can see the sand fly up where the bullets hit. You can shoot at a building and it leaves bullet holes wherever you shoot. This adds to the realism. There are also a ton of weapons: many different types of machine guns, anti tank mines, C4 explosives, rocket launchers, bazookas, pistols, grenades, smoke bombs, etc. All weapons serve a purpose and are useful in different situations. There are many types of enemy targets: tanks, helicopters, mig fighters, scud missle launchers, bridges, forts, tents, infantry, airports, buildings etc. Its very cool because sometimes your fighting out in the desert and other times you'll be in the middle of the city fighting.Would you like to Comment?

Summary This game is totally rad. Me and my brother had a blast.Battling through the single player is fun but it's by far the best when you have some friends to play with.When we rigged up coop it told us all you need to know about the mission:spects,terrane,objectives and the best rout to take.It has a good story line and is totally real.The biggest hint i can give is BE PERSISTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!Sound The sound was superb the way you can hear the tanks before there in your field of view.The weapons sound was also very good the way an expireanced player can tell wich gon a friend or enemy has by its sound.The bad thing about the music is its so repetitive.Gameplay Game play is good and very real.I like the fact that the enemys can miss even if your not moving and that when you rapidly fire your cross hairs move up like in real life.It has many different weapons as well(LAWSmissle launcher,silenced machiengun and the Sniper rifle).The hardest thing about this game is by far obliterating tanks.It's anoing c'us you have to hit thier reer.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Overall this game is a very strong military based game that captures the realism of desert storm, and combines it with the fun style gameplay you want from any game. I have to say that out of Conflict, Socom, and Ghost Recon, this is by far the only one I will consider playing again.Sound Gunfire, voices, vehicles, and explosions are all quite realistic. But they could be alot better, especially on the xbox. But once agian the gameplay more than makes up for it. Another 4 outta 5.Gameplay The gameplay in this game is absolutly amazing. It's fun, but at the same time it makes you think about your every move. It is a little tricky and difficult at certain points, but it's nothing to go crazy over. Overall this game gets my vote as one of the best on the xbox.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

When I wen't to rent it I didn't really know what to expect. But when my friend and I started gameplay it was nonstop FUN! I couldn't believe all of the different scenarios you had to go through, and how realistic it is. This game was excellent, and I give it a 5Sound THE SOUND! What an awesome add on to the game. With the tanks rolling far in the background, and the real life radios in the enemy bunkers I thought it was excellent. Another cool part was when a man gets shot down and your squad yells MAN DOWN MAN DOWN! I thought that was really cool, sound diffinately deserves a 5.Gameplay When I first started gameplay, I had a little bit of difficulty. But after I wen't through the boot Camp I got the hang of it really well. The only thing I didn't like about it was the side-stepping, it was kind of tough to run sideways when there's enemies ambushing you and tanks rolling up into firing position. But once you get the hang of it it's a complete blast, I liked it a ton.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Fun multiplies exponentially in multiplayer. Just about as much fun as I've had with a game.Sound I really enjoyed the sound, except for the music. The music was repetitive to the point where I just turned it off.There is a nice "use your own soundtrack" feature which I liked. The voices are done well, and there are some comical voices added as well which add a nice touch of humor. Gameplay Gameplay? Very tense at times, semi-realistic, with hints of strategy. You must control your squad through various missions, including indoor and outdoor environments. It's a nice mix.Would you like to Comment?

Summary the game disappointed me AT FIRST when i started, well only because i already have played some of the better war-sim games for all the consoles and PC. after an hour i was hooked and had overlooked most of the flaws in the game. but one flaw that irritated me is that the enemies pinpoint your location before your 'auto aim' locks on. the single player campaign is great. although grab a few buddies and the game becomes awesome, or in my case, having 3 brothers really saves time looking for friends. hmm flaws in MP? in multiplayer the screens are pretty small in any television set smaller than 27 inches. deciding on who is going to carry the firepower to knock out the tanks, whos going to lay cover fire, and whos going with the medic to help rescue and save a wounded comrade makes for some heated arguments if someone fails at their duty.(note: i scored it 5 overall because of the 4 player split and not having to have extra xboxs to enjoy the multiplayer singleplayer i score it a 4 overall) Sound when things get hectic the enemy gunfire actually makes you take cover on the first shot (reflex driven to push and hold down 'B' to lay prone). you can put in your own custom soundtrack your ripped into the xbox harddrive to replace to 'suspense' music.Gameplay gameplay for single player is good, with the commands 'on-the-fly'. the ability to 'save' a fallen friend with a medipac is pretty cool, but it seems like he can 'die' many times and you can bring him back to life just as many times. if your character does die on the battlefield (only one casualty on my record, for falling off a cliff) he gets replaced by a green, wet-behind-the-ears private (loss of exp. points also).multiplayer like i said is awesome, my bros and i have been playing the missions over and over. we usually split up in a pair of two to complete the tasks faster but as we have learned these are DELTA FORCE and SAS commandos and we have to work as a 4 man team most of the time, not SEALs were just two can do the dirty work. just keep a pair of pointmen at a distance while not straying too ahead of the other two for cover fire, youll do just fine Would you like to Comment?

After each completed medel it shows all of the 4 team members medals won, rank increases, and skill increases. All war games with a campaign should add this awsome feature! The first time i played it with 3 friends we played it for 12 hours straight. It was easy to pick up and very addictive. I felt like i was really there fighting in Iraq. I enjoyed this game much more than i did Ghost Recon. Too bad it doesnt have online play! Maybe next yearSound Sound was good. The sound added to the atmosphere and pulled you into the environment in each mission.Gameplay Gameplay was great. Easy to pick up and very fun. 2-4 player coop requires a lot of team work, which adds to the fun and difficulty of the game. In total the game play is very smooth.Would you like to Comment?

So i go over to my cousin's house and see Conflict: Desert Storm lyin on the ground. So me and him start playin it, and let me tell you, it is a fun game. Set in (obviously) the Desert Storm operation of the Gulf War, you are a meber of a special ops team charged with a number of different missions, from taking out SCUDs to rescuing polititions. With a number of different weapons and an awesome CoOp mode, this game is definetly worth the purchase.Sound I didn't much like the music on this game, but hey, you can always play your own or just turn it off. The sounds that the different weapons make are right on. After awhile, you will be able to tell what kind of weapon is being used, from a heavy machine gun to a sniper rifle. Explosions sound great, and vehicles make a distinct mechanical sound that you will be able to hear that will alert you to their presence. Voice acting is also fairly good, and although it's not perfect, it wont make you want to mute the game.Gameplay Gameplay is pretty good for the most part. On the first mission, you start out as the rifleman of your squad, charged with rescuing your sniper. After a few missions though, you get a full squad of four specialists, from heavy weapons to medic. Your teamates improve througout the game, adding a nice hybrid RPG element to the game. I also noticed that as you get farther and farther through the game, you weapons will actually improve. Jones (the medic/demolitions specialist), for example, started out with a MP-5 and a shotgun, but I noticed on one level that his shotgun had been improved to a heavier hitting piece of weaponry, a nice touch. The AI of your squadmates is awesome. They will cover each other's backs, shoot at hotspots, and have great aim. The enemy AI isn't as good though, and they mostly charge and fire with no regard for their own lives. The levels are also pretty varied. One of my favorites was where my squad was tasked with taking out an airfield. It had everything from blowing up MiG-29s to close combat fighting inside the control tower, where Jones really shined. Other missions include taking out SCUDs, rescuing people, and just trying to survive. One thing i didn't like was the way the inventory was handled. You can seemingly hold an unlimited amount of equipment, and in the heat of battle I was killed more than once trying to get to a medpack and then switching back to my weapon, which requires you to scroll through the whole inventory unitl you find what you want, select it, use it, then switch back to your weapon. Movement is mostly good, except for strafing, which is so slow it is practically useless.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary I have read alot of reviews about this game and Ive noticed people either love or hate it. I love this type of game so I figured it was atleast worth a rent. So, I went and picked it up and invited some friends over to do some coop. I love Halos coop, so I had high hopes for this one, being that it had a 4 player mode. Theres alot of things Im not going to touch on in this review, because all you really need to know is that its not horrible like some people say, its actually quite fun. With a little more fine tuning on the control and a few other issues this game would have been a must buy.Sound Everything in this game sounds great to me, sounds like a war. The guns have a nice pop to them, and the explosions sound pretty beefy. The only thing that didnt sound right was the voices, sometimes you cannot tell what they are saying, but this has no affect on the gameplay.Gameplay The very first thing you will notice is that the control doesnt feel right. The fact that it has a look spring and centers your crosshair for you gets real annoying, and you cannot turn it off(why cant they add these simple options?!?). The other problem is the auto aim. Auto aim is good to have sometimes, but in this game its not very functional, and this also cannot be turned off. The good news is, I was able to get use to it pretty quick and the control is good otherwise.I only played single player for a few hours, and its good, but the real fun is with 3 other buddies. Get a game of coop going with 3 other people and your in for a treat, as long as everyone is willing to get over the few control issues, and its really not too horrible.Team work is very important in this game, each squad member has different types of weapons and abilities.You can heal wounded teamates,and give them items from your inventory. Its awesome fun, and a must play for this game mode, if you dont play alot of multiplayer its still worth a rent, but I think the coop is probably the best reason for a purchase. For those of you who think this game sucks, I can understand why you could think that. For the first few minutes I was thinking that maybe all the bad reviews were right. Yeah, its by far not perfect and has issues, but I had 3 people over and we had a blast playing for 4 hours straight. I highly recommend atleast renting for the coop. The single player isnt bad, but I dont think it would hold my attention long. I think it would have been real nice to have some system link options, but the little screens arent bad at all.

Summary I went to the video store in hope of finding a decent title for my XBOX to play over the weekend. Nothing good in sight, but then i see conflict desert storm sitting on the bottom. I know it was new, so i decided to rent it. I get home and pop it in, start playing, and after a couple hours this is what i concluded.Sound i dont even care, i was so disappointed with this game and all of its crap that the music sounded great. but i suppose if you get down to details, it sucked just about as bad as the game.Gameplay gameplay is the most horrible of any game of this sort. IT AIMS FOR YOU. You can literally run in a straight line and it will auto aim directly on the guys and if you just shoot your gun they die. It is SOOOOOOO lame. I was so disappointed in the gameplay. Whats even worse, is i quit single player, and was like, oh sweet, multi-player should at least be fun. Then i come to find out that you only get to coop. No offense, but coop is great, but wheres the competitive edge satisfied at. Seriously, i like working as a team, but i like killing all of my friends countless times until they quit the game even more. What is up. AND I PITY YOU IF YOU BOUGHT THIS GAME AND CAN NO LONGER RETURN IT.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Desert storm scenerio. I can sum this game up by referring to a movie. Black hawk down. I was at blockbuster late one day and CDS and other lame games were the only ones available. To my surprise this game turned out to be very good. Your role is commander of an elite group of men that are trained in blowing crap up. Like the movie I stated earlier , the game drops you in the middle of desert storm and you have to accomplish missions like saving a POW and blowing up scud missles. You are in control of up to 3 other members of your squad and can deploy them to any part of the terrain and have them either watch for troops or lay cover fire. I almost didnt want to return the game. Very enjoyable.Sound Music was in the garbage on this game. The music is something to be desired but you can turn it off. Sound effects were right on target. The guns sounded like they were supposed to and bombs and takes were right on. Dolby support was ok , If my sniper was stationed on my right side behind me , I would hear him yell at troops. good SFX all aroundGameplay gameplay is smooth and fun at most times. The option to play as any member of your team is a great add on to this game. The levels are big and when AI troops and your team battle for bragging rights, All hell breaks loose. When you are playing as the team leader , the other players (that are being controlled by Xbox) hold their own and protect you. missions are pretty straight foward and fun. The better you are at the game, the faster your men move up in rank. Its hunting season!Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary Conflict: Desert Storm (CDS) could be catagorized as a stratagy shooter with a generous helping of action thrown in. Set during the events of the Gulf War, it's your duty to command a four-man unit of special forces soldiers against Iraqi forces. While CDS doesn't really have any glaring flaws, there are a couple of frustrations that you may encounter as I did.All in all, CDS is a fun game in single player mode and an excellent game for multiplaying cooperative action. While it's no pioneer in audio or visual effects, CDS does push the envelope in the gameplay department and should be seen as a welcome addition to your xbox library. Sound Most of the sounds in CDS range from good to fair. The gunfire is believable (aside from the SAW, which sounds a little light for a machinegun), but the voiceacting is not as good as it could be. The drill sargeant at the very beginning of the game made me laugh because he sounded so pissed off. I guess that's probably pretty close to reality, though. The in-game music is aweful and repetative. Luckily, the developers allow you to use your own custom soundtracks from the music saved on your xbox.Gameplay Core gameplay revolves around the four soldiers you command and positioning these soldiers effectively during combat. Ordering your comrads around and managing your inventory is a daunting task to learn, but once you have it down it becomes second nature. The number of things you can do with these soldiers is pretty impressive, actually.The first soldier you start with is the team leader. His weapon of choice is the assult rifle and he's also good with pistols and explosives. Next up is the sniper, who specializes in sniper rifles, pistols, and assult rifles. Also, there's your machinegunner who uses heavier weapons like the SAW and M60. He's also good with anti-tank weapons and pistols. Lastely is the scout. His skills include medicine, explosives, and assault rifles. While this game is quite tactical in nature, there is not a whole lot of realism when it comes to getting shot. Your men can withstand a number of bulletholes before they go down, but you'll find in later missions that getting shot is just a fact of life in CDS. After you get the controls down and play a while, you'll get the feel for positioning your troops stratigically and maximizing their effectiveness with the weapons they use in certain situations. My main gripe with CDS is that stealth plays little to no role in this game. The enemy AI is able to spot your troops from vast distances even though you're crouched down and wearing desert camo. In certain missions, they inform you that you are better off by being stealthy, but being sneaky has been impossible for me, so I always end up mowing down endless hordes of enemies after raising an alarm. Really, that's the only down side I know of with this game. I could subtract from the score that I give to CDS for the game's short length (it took me under 15 hours to conquer), but the cooperative multiplayer mode and difficulty settings can make the game last a lot longer as long as you've got a friend to play with.

I haven't had this much fun playing a game since HALO! This is definitely one of those games that you can play over and over and have just as much fun as if you're playing it for the first time!Sound The sound is Awesome! from the rumbling of the tanks (before you see them come into the picture), to the bullets zipping pass you, to your squad members yelling "Man down!!". Xbox is always top notch when it comes to Sound.Gameplay I find the gameplay extremely easy and fun. You can control up to (4) people at once and have each of your squad members perform different activities. In multiplayer mode this game skyrockets in the fun department!! There is nothing better than having your friend sneak up on a tank, plant a C-4 or land mine only to accidently step on the mine and then you have to come running to save the day. The chaos, the intensity, the screaming is just out of this world!Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Rating Reviewed By UrbanSniperFrom Houston Review Date 10/22/2002 Overall Rating ![]() 4 of 5 Rate this review? Summary This game is an awsome tactical game. You run around and complete missions as a squad. Demolitions/medic, rifleman, sniper, and heavy machinegun character. No too great as a single player game...a bit too much going on with controlling 4 characters (maybe some people will like that kind of multi-tasking game)...but with 1-3 friends, it's a blast.Sound Sound is decent. Sounds good on the dolby digital 5.1 though.Gameplay Movement is a bit slugglish...but that adds reality to the game. If you are in the desert strapped with over 50 lbs. of gear, walking on sand...there isn't going to be a whole lot of jumping in combat. I like the whole figting the cursor from moving up (recoil) when you are firing your automatics.Would you like to Comment?

This is a game to get if you want a great action packed game. I love the gamplay and the fact that you can control more than one charater at the same time. Multiplayert is a blast to play. It's just too fun!! If you had no interest in this game, I advise you to check it out, because I had no interest until I read the reviews on this site. I now love this game, and feel that it deserves alot of respect in terms of ratings. I give it a 9.2. It's just THAT GOOD!Sound The sound is really good. I have a surround sound system, and yes the bullets are whipping by my ears. I love it. The sound brings the action to you even more. What more can you ask for. This is a truly well done gfame. I am happy I bought it, and happier that I can play it whenever I have the free time. It's a superb game!Gameplay The game play is great. You can control your character in the same fashion as the Halo control scheme. The controls were very easy to get use to. Every gun will allow you to zoom in on your enemies. The straight fowardness of the action is addictive. I love the way you can control more than one charater. I think the gameplay deserves a 10 for sure!!!Would you like to Comment?

For more detailed information about the review please see the sections below.It's not often that I find myself on websites posting reviews of video games, I mean there are plenty of review sites and for the most part they are pretty accurate - right? Earlier this year one of the best games of 2002 came out on the Xbox (Enclave) and I almost passed it by because it received a very bad review on one of the more 'prominent' gaming sites. Thankfully, I didn't let one bad review disuade me from purchasing a title nor would I allow one misplaced review to condemn a gaming site that in general I trusted and respected. It's funny because since that 'misplaced' reivew, I have paid a lot more attention to the review site in question and am starting to believe there is something going on, behind the scenes, that is some how influencing their reviews. I own a PC, a PS2 and an Xbox. I have also owned a C64, Amiga, Genesis and Nintendo at various stages of my gaming life. I play board games, card games, pen and paper and all in all I would have to say I have been a gaming enthusist for the past 25 years. Simply put, I will no longer be reading any reviews on the website in question. They have shown a definite change of direction in the past few months and I for one grow more and more disgusted with their prejudice and lack ethics. Sound Sound for the most part is excellent. The in game sound effects are fantastic and for the most part voice acting is well done. The surround sound could have been better and at times the British accents on the SAS are funny if not perfect.Conflict Desert Storm goes the extra step where it counts though. If you want to rip your own sound track and listen to your own tunes while you play this go right ahead. Not my style but a neat option all the same. Gameplay Conflict Desert Storm's ability to mix squad based tactics with mission based objectives without slowing down gameplay succeeds on almost every level.Level design is outstanding without being overly complicated. The action is almost always straight ahead while still leaving plenty of opportunity for the player to experiment. This alone has incredible replay value as you find new ways to approach situations. What really sets this game apart is the oustanding AI. Nothing is more frustrating than a squad based game where your teammates don't do what you tell them to do (if you ever shot Boomer in the head because he was a liability you know exactly what I'm talking about). You need some cover fire, simply setup your heavy machine gunner in the right location and he will cover your advance. Want to jump in and take control when the fire fight breaks out, go ahead. Maybe you prefer to play the sniper or the engineer? You want to drive the jeep or man the gun on the back? This game is all about options and they aren't simply fluff added to the game without purpose. But wait there's more. You haven't played Conflict Desert Storm until you've taken advantage of the multiplayer support. There's no Xbox live support (I'm betting the sequel will have that), but it has the best cooperative split screen mode since Halo on any platform. Conflict Desert Storm has gameplay alright, in spades. Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary This game is the sleeper of the season. It has it all, in depth game play that has you coming back for more, good sound, and nice graphics.Sound Sound is not something I pay much attention to, but I feel the sounds are adequate. You can here oncoming tanks, trucks, and helocopters, as well as your squad members and the surrounding weapons fire, what else do you need?Gameplay Gameplay is where this game shines. The controls take a while to get used to, I'd say roughly about an hour learning curve but after that it becomes second nature. The controls are well thought out and very accesable when things get cooking.You can save anytime anywhere during a mission but only twice so use them sparingly. Actually I've not needed to save that many times yet unless I had to leave. The game is the perfect mix of difficult but not pull your hair out throw the contoller difficult! Squad command is very fluent, the missions are very realistic. That brings me to my next point, this game has a very real feel to it. You only find ammo and weapons in places you'd expect to find them not buried in a shrub in the middle of a dried up lake bed. The ammo alottment is just right, you can go in guns a 'blazin if you want but you'll run out fast, choosing your targets carefully and short bursts are the key to proper ammo management to allow for finishing a mission without ammo hunting.My only complaint is the zoom levels either your zoomed in or your not there is no in between but its not that big of a deal rather a small nuisance.Would you like to Comment?

Definitely a sleeper. Lots to do and you should take advantage of the basic training mode before the shooting starts.Sound Sound is adequate. Good music to set the pace.Gameplay I have played through the first level and there is a feeling of suspense. You have to make use of the crouch and crawl and survey the area so that there are not surprises waiting around a corner. I restarted the level several times and noticed that the enemy is not doing the same thing each time back. It's difficult when you get in a bind because you stress out trying to find the appropriate weapon to use (e.g., a tank comes upon you, riflemen are taking pot shots and you need to trade your M16 for the anti-tank gun). This part takes some getting used to, but I'll get it.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a f | ||||||||
