This review is from: Conflict Desert Storm (Video Game)

I don't think there are many of these types of games around. By 'these' I mean somewhat realistic non-first person shooters. Especially on the xbox, where aliens and purple colored things always ship. Adding that it takes place in the Gulf War makes it all the better. There are some neat new things not seen elsewhere; One of my favorites is having the ability to call in air strikes. The army does actually do this, send out teams who identify targets on the ground and lock in their position, which then are bombed by planes. This was done a lot in Afghanistan for example. For the most part, you do the same stuff as in RogueSpear/Counterstrike/Others, plant explosives, remotely set them off, get a gun, a rifle and an anti-tank missile launcher. There are different kinds of each, from m16 to a ak47 and so on. I haven't seen a tactical team mode this well developed elsewhere, you can switch between several people very easily, issue orders and so on. It's clever. It does try to keep close to reality, on easier levels it's not 'one shot kills', but it's pretty close when you're near by a shooter. Though if you're shot, you switch to another team mate, who comes with a medical kit and fixes you up, you can do this forever really, unless all of your team is dead. Which is why you don't take your entire team for scouting, one or two at a time.

I'd say the graphics were very good, especially the city missions. Sound is DD5.1 and it's nice, if the soundtrack isn't to your liking you have the option of playing your own stuff of the xbox's hard drive (music you've ripped).

Again, xbox hadn't a game like this yet, and it's something that a lot of you Counterstrike fans might enjoy. Halo is fun, but in terms of gameplay, but this feels more natural. In October and November there'll be a slew of games, with Xbox Live coming out and all, including Ghost Recon and MGS2 and Splinter Cell, I wonder if this games might be missed. I sure hope not.

Conflict is one of those games that you and your friends could play forever, but when it comes to single player it lacks. Mult. is a heck of alot of fun, the first night we got it we played from 8pm to 4 in the mourning. Its cool because you can cover each other, and help one another. In single player you have to move every person around, or just have them follow you, but the A.I. is about as smart as a box of rocks, if your team is following you and you get fired apon they just turn around and start ripping shots off, instead of taking cover, or i'll sneak around a corner and i'll turn around and my guys decide they will just run balls to the walls around the corner and then stand there and get shot, one time I used the heavy weapons guy to creep up on a tank and I hide him behind a transport truck, then I switch to another guy. but when I switched over the computer decided he would blow up the truck I hid him behind, then he stood there and took a tank shell to the face....(that resulting in some f words). Alot of people have complained about the controls when moving you troops, but its not hard at all, at first you get alittle angry, but you'll get the hang of it, really I dont know what people expect the developers to do, they did about the best job they could with a console controller,(the xbox doesnt have a keyboard people!) The hummers are really cool they have a rocket lancher and a machine gun, they are sweet, but the controls when you drive them [stink]. It almost seems like your driving on ice, there are just way to touchy. Other than that the controls work very well, you move your guys just like halo, which I believe is the best controls you can ever have for a FPS. All in all if you have some friends to play this game with get it you'll enjoy it, if not maybe rent it first, or go with another squad based game, where the A.I. is alittle smarter(Ghost Recon)
So basically, Multiplayer=Conflict: Desert storm
Singleplayer= Ghost Recon

This is the first shooter game I played where you can move in squads and at the same time switch from third person to first person. The graphics are great and the controls are even better. You can switch the people while in your squad. Each person has different capabbilities. Each soldier also improves in ranks and can get medals plus even improve in skills such as rifleman, sniper, medic, and combat engineer. I highly reccomend this game
