The game conflict Desert Storm is a very well-rounded game which gives you everything you could look for in a shooter. A few good features are; you can play in either 1st or 3rd person, can play and command each soldier in your four man team, a wonderful array of real life weapons (AK-47's, M-16, M-60's, sniper, Anti-Tank launchers, grenades, C4 charges, many handguns as well as many more automatic weapons), and the multi player mode. In the multi player mode up to 4 human players can command the 4 team members. On the scale of 1-10 I give the following:Graphics- (7) This is probably the only downside of the game. Some of the buildings and scenery are "box-like". These feaures aren't 3D and look like something from Nintendo 64. Most of the scenery also is not interactive. Such as you shoot a window but none of the glass breaks. But, the soldiers and their weapons are in very good detail. The only downside about the soldiers is when they talk, if you zoom in on their face, their mouth is not moving.
Game Play- (9.5) The missions are really hard (depending on the difficulty level) and can take an hour or so to complete. They range from taking down Iraqi Outposts to blowing up Scuds to driving tanks and other vehicles. The controls are a little complicated but are easy to learn after the introduction missions. The training missions will teach you everything from how to move (pretty obvious) to shooting to calling in air strikes and commanding your team.
Sound- (8.5) The sounds coming from the guns are unbelievable. You can hear the click from the chamber, then explosion when the bullet is released and the thud when it hits a body (hopefully an Iragi soldier). The Browning 50 caliber gun has the best sound in the game. Turn up your TV and it sounds like the fight is right outside. A couple downsides are; the voices are often muffed by background sounds, and the planes sound exactly like that humming light bulb in your house.
Overall- (9) For everything this game offers it's hard to believe you can get it for 20 bucks. The multi player mode will be great entertainment and the solo missions are just as good. As long as you can get the controls and ignore the sometimes blotchy scenery, you'll be sure to love this game. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes war games as well as shooters. The game also keeps various stats such as kills and accuracy, then hands out medals for achievements in those catagories. The entire experience is well worth the 20 bucks and would also make a great stocking-stuffer.
Thanks for reading my review and I hope it helped.
