Unlike many sequels, this game is MUCH better than the original. The squad based play is great, you can control any of your squad members depending on the level and what you need to do. The buttons are pretty straight forward and easy to learn, and the objectives for each level are only a select button away if you forget what you need to do. It also checks off the objectives you've done so you don't end up trying to accomplish the same objective twice.
I haven't made it to the ending yet, so I don't know if the ending is any good or not. I do wish they'd have let you capture or kill Saddam, but in real life he escaped Baghdad so he might as well have escaped here too.
There's a variety of weapons to use, including smoke grenades when you need to hide behind some cover (VERY useful on the levels when you encounter tanks which can only be destroyed by laying mines, using C4 or RPG's.)
Your squad AI is also very intelligent mostly, as is the enemy AI.
There's also an element of strategy involved with some parts of levels, and some entire levels. It's not just a straight shooter, sometimes you've got to use stealth and it makes the level easier. If you just go in guns blazing the enemy AI realizes you're there and opens up on you, which usually ends up being very bad for you and your squad, particularly if there's a tank involved.
Overall, this is a great game and a lot of fun. If you like Freedom Fighters or SOCOM or SOCOM II you'll like this game too.

I loved this game & I'm a female. I've never liked shooting games but my husband made me play this with him & boy was I glad I did. We beat it together on easy then medium & are about through hard. I've read that after you beat hard that it unlocks an extreme hard. I can't wait. My only wish is that when you paly 2 player that you could pick your weapons. It would also be if 4 player were an option but overall the game gets 5 stars. Love it. Hope they come out with another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!!, July 16, 2004

This review is from: Conflict: Desert Storm II - Back to Baghdad (Video Game)

We have all heard of SOCOM 2, the squad based army game. Unfortunately, this game is rated Mature, and so is the first game. Everybody wants this game because of all the great reviews, but many kids cant have Mature-rated games. Conflict: Desert Storm 2 is the SOCOM of teen games. This game really gives you the ultimate army experience. You can also be four different teammates in your special forces squad, each with their different skill. Including anti-tank weapons and sniper weapons. Another thing that makes this game great is the fact that in most missions,it is your choice wether you want to go stealthily, or just go out and shoot everyone. But its not all that easy. Set the game difficulty to hard, and you wont be laughing anymore, unless you use the skills given to you. If you are a rookie-gamer, this is a great game to play. With three different difficulty settings (easy, medium, hard)this is a game for all levels of gamers. This game really gives you the full army experience, because unless youre putting the game at a difficulty setting lower than what it should be for you, you are going to need to use all the skills you are given in order to be victorious. I will challenge whoever plays this game to try and not die once by using all your resources (smoke grenades, frag grenades, phosphorous grenades, mines, etc.) because this makes the game even more fun. Grenades, machine guns, rocket launchers, snipers; only a few of the items in the game. I recommend this game if you like tactical shooting games or if you want to try a new game genre.
