Conflict: Desert Storm
Overall: This game was one of the rent one get one free selection. I hadn't intended on getting this title, but the others that I wanted were out. I am a sucker for first FPS games and thought that this would tide me over till the next purchase or rental. I hadnt heard anything about this title, but had seen like one or two adverts. I took the plunge and was glad I did. Usually, I hate the Tom Clancy games due to the controlability of the squad, so at first I wasn't too crazy about it. Then once I started playing it, I was almost instantly hooked. This game was a sleeper title that does well especially if you want to play co-op. Unfortunatly, I didnt get to play co-op with anyone on this game, but I wanted to see its perks. The main thing that I noticed is that you can load up a co-op game with your single player saves. That adds alot. It was tough playing solo and thought that multiplayer would have added alot. But more than anything that I liked the most about this game was that almost all of the Iraqi's looked like Saddam Hussein, which made me chuckle.
Gameplay: Gameplay was better than what I though it would be. Switching from player to palyer was easy with the use of the D-pad. And with the fire at will command, you didn't always have to watch every charachter. The one drawback that I didn't like was that when you were carrying around your med packs and you needed to use one right away, when under fire, most of the time you would die because it took a while to switch between guns and other items. Another hard thing was being able to judge where you threw grenades. At times you over threw and under threw at key points.
Lastly was that you couln't control civilians on where yo uwanted them to go. One of my favorite parts about the gameplay was the stealth kills. Those were great. They get harder to do as you go on, but very cool. First time I got one with a knife, I had a big chuckle. Dont know why, just really funny and fun to do.
Graphics: Visually, this game was good, though it could have used the XBOX to a better advantage. Nothing that was too disturbing though
Audio: Sound was cool as well. I liked the options of being able to use your own soundtracks. In fact this made me create a few just for this game.
Suggestions: Use the XBOX a little better. The use f the Harddrive was good. I had a freind who played it on the PS2 this weekend and he complained of the load times. I told him (as I do always with cross platform games) "It didn't take that long to load on the XBOX"
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
