  1. Everything from the menu screens to the game’s graphics has been revamped.
  2. It’s rare that we see this level of sophisticated squad-based tactical gameplay in a console title.
  3. Certainly isn’t a major departure for the series but the visible improvements and perfect additions make for an entertaining romp that’s decent enough.

    While I agree the game may not be as deep as other games that fit this style, it still is a fun game. It also has some intense action. It's how you decide to play it that will really decide if you get the full value the game has to offer.

    It's rare that a game with average sound, graphics and an uncooperative control system can still be enjoyed for hours at a time anyway.

    While it is admittedly superior to the original, fails to ascend to the top of the squad-based shooter class. [Nov 2003, p.169]

    This game is simply a heck of a lot of fun to play with a friend.

And Conflict: Desert Storm II is really ga good game that could have been phenomenal. But the graphics and sound are only mediocre and the controls are a clumsy nightmare for the first few hours. But the moment you manage them, you´ll spend dozens of hours with the satisfying and addictive gameplay. Full Review »
