    The Conflict games were always my favorite and I always looked forward to new ones, until now. Denied Ops is nothing like past Conflict games. In the future I'll have to research any new Conflict games before I purchase them. If there anything like this one I won't be buying anymore.

    This game is not how I expected it to be. The models were horrible and the game play was lame. The only good thing about this game was probably the hit boxed. Other then that this game was bad. I wouldnt pay more then $5.00 for this poorly made game.

    I not motivated enough to even give a proper review of this terrible game. I uninstalled after about an hour. It is the worst FPS I've played in a long time. It is so outdated in every way that it is annoying.

    Absolutely atrocious. Ugly, buggy, generic, uninspired. The developers don't deserve to make their money back on this waste of time. Buy literally anything else instead.

    This game is really not that good of a game. If you're going to play this series, stick with an older version like Conflict: Global Terror, which to me seems to have better graphics(sadly) and has 4 player co-op, instead of 2.

    If you give this game any more than a 4 you must not have played a single video game since 1995. The graphics are terrible (worse than most games on Playstation 2!!!), there's only 2 usable guns in the entire game, and the game is just plain dumb. The game is trumped in every single way by modern shooters like Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3.

    Almost unplayable. The game features a poor physics and graphics engine, and virtually no storyline whatsoever. If the opening cutscene with the APC doesnt turn you off, the bizzare, unwieldy controls and half-assed graphics will.

    Bad game. As in: BAD game. The scope views look like they were made in Paint.If not,then I know I could do a better sight with Paint.The barrels dont explode when you shoot them: Instead they release energy and make a silly jump to the air while spinning always the same way and fall on the ground to explode.

The graphics ain't all that much, the weapons are a bit silly (the Desert Eagle is better than many primary firearms,and the secondary fire modes on many weapons are just unwieldy in real life)and enemy AI is crap. Cover system is lame..and what is the camera vision when peeking from cover for? Use the eyes, gee. Nothing special of a game seriously.… Expand

    Ignore what others say! This is a very good game! It features destructible environments, and the ability to switch between players at any given moment! You can also order your squad member to move somewhere, throw a grenade, take out a certain target, bash open a door for you and, suppressive fire. It features online co-op and game modes.

    Gave this game a 2 because I actually got to play Co-op with my brother in MN for a while. That was fun, then, it stopped working on Co-op, nobody in Steam answers forums, and neither does Eidos. Lack of support= *&^%$#@! game. BTW Sins of a Solar Empire will cure that!!!

    It sucks. Play something else. If you don't believe me, play the demo. It's on Steam. Buy it and waste 40 bucks. Play the demo and see all that the game has in store.

    the graphics superior, playability sucked outright,too many keys too little time, I'd place PlayStation one and a side scroller ahead of this,they need to make things simpler,this is a war venture not politics,as its bad enough to use a voting machine then it is to place a ballot on paper and drop it in a box

    The graphics are terrible. I'd expect this game to be on PS2, not PS3. The gameplay is awful with no storyline whatsoever. You only have two guns. Don't waste your time, money and effort.

    It was alright, wasn't special, but wasn't horrible either, It doesn't seem like the publisher just flew through with it either, the story was lacking, gameplay was decent, nothing spectacular thought. If it is cheap, and you're a little bored, give it a spin. It's not worth 30 or 20, 10 or 5 would be good.

    This was the most disgusting piece of shit I have seen. For Eidos to have reasonable graphics in Tomb Raider: Legend/Anniversary, and then put out something that makes you want to kill yourself once you set eyes on it... it's awful. They say it features "Massively Destructible Environments," by which I guess they mean you can break boxes and crates. Whoop de doo.

Your teammate is a retard unless you control him. Your enemies won't fall when hit by a hundred bullets but can kill you with one. Weapons are limited and tedious.

    Now, I've only played the demo... but, based on that, I would burn every copy of this shitty game in existence.

    Buy this if you're looking for something to hang yourself by. Otherwise, save $40.    … Expand

    Two really mediocre characters which you can switch between with a game mechanic that feels like it was put together with sellotape and string. I think the kindest thing I can say about this game is that it's visually ok.

    Conflict: Denied Ops is one of those games that doesn't know how the game should be played, the player must play like if it's a tactical shooter, hold still in one position and take a precise shot to kill the enemy... but then enemies behave like if you were player a standard first person shooter, they move all over the place, they don't miss a shot and can take you down is 3 shots or lessConflict: Denied Ops is one of those games that doesn't know how the game should be played, the player must play like if it's a tactical shooter, hold still in one position and take a precise shot to kill the enemy... but then enemies behave like if you were player a standard first person shooter, they move all over the place, they don't miss a shot and can take you down is 3 shots or less making the overall experience really annoying and frustrating and the idea of taking precision shots a really hard task.
    Friendly AI is... random, at least for me it was random, sometimes it will be useful and some other times it will be a total dumb standing in one place waiting to be killed.
    Visually it looks like a game from 2007, the enviorments are fine ate best but character models looks not that good with some blurry textures.
    Pro points in favor... the destructible enviorments and physics.
    Voice acting is fine at some points, some dialogs are silly and... bad.
    For the story is your typical military plot that focus on infiltration behind enemy lines and terrorist attacks that involve nuclear missiles.
    The game runs great on modern os wthout any compatibility issues.
    To be hones i didn't finished the game, i was on the last mission but... getting constantly killed because bad controls and super aggressive enemy AI was enough for me to quit.    … Expand

    Conflict: Denied Ops goes through the motions of first-person-shootage well, but ultimately feels mechanical and outdated. [Mar 2008, p.102]

    If you're a fan of Conflict and/or shooters in general, you're likely to find Denied Ops shallow and dull. The two-man control system doesn't work properly. The visuals are ugly. The script is sub-Armageddon. Yes, it's easy to pick up and play. But if you're after an experience with real challenge and depth, you won't want to.
