game players, this sequel is still set in the original 1991 Gulf War. It's a squad-based shooter that follows the testosterone-enriched adventures of soldiers Bradley, Foley, Connors and Jones as they travel 300 km further behind enemy lines beginning with--and couldn't you just guess it--a rescue mission at a downed Black Hawk helicopter within a heavily fortified city. Of course, replicating dangerously jingoistic American movies is exactly what Conflict: Desert Storm II is all about and there's a ton of new hardware in this sequel to get even the most steadfast pacifist reaching for the Arnie one-liners. You've got new phosphor grenades, a laser designator to call in helicopters and jet planes and, best of all, the chance to jump in a jeep and spray bad guys with heavy machine gun fire. As well as adding new features Conflict: Desert Storm II also fixes problems with the original game, in particular the often highly erratic frame rate, which is a lot smoother than before. The co-op mode is also back and better than ever, especially as you can now pick any level from the single-player mode to play through at any time. --David Jenkins

lines. As A Squadron you will be tasked with the most critical missions and treacherous assignments. Your objectives: to eliminate the Chemical Warfare Supergun and Scud Missile threat posed by the enemy and to eject the last die-hard elements of the elite Republican Guard from their fortified positions inside Kuwait City. Tougher than ever before your missions centre on pivotal events in what is now termed the Mother of all Battles. Your campaign consists of 10 missions and begins with an urgent call for rescue. Should you survive the gruelling conditions the relentless pursuit and the shattering assaults by heavy artillery your final campaign will see you spearheading the Allied Forces' attempt to liberate Kuwait city and a frantic struggle to prevent an ecological disaster amid the burning hell of the Kuwaiti oil fields.

Advantages: 3rd person shooter, ammo conservation, requires tactics, switch players Disadvantages: 3 saves per level
I'd forgotten how fun Conflict Desert Storm really was, looking for a decent slice of action I picked the sequel. You can play as 2 sides now the British SAS or US Delta Force both still follow the same mission patterens which was a slight setback because at first I thought I had two games ! The game is more of last time still being a 3rd person squad based shooter with tactics and strategy also playing a vital part.
Back in Iraqi desert you control ... ...mates has a various skill. Your men are Bradley the all rounder good with all guns, Conners is in control of the heavy weaponary, Foley is skilled with the sniper rifle and Jones is skilled at close quarters and dead handy with the knife. All team members carry a main weapon like an AK-47 and various other helpful things such as grenades.
The controls are quite a handful but once mastered you'll be able to blow the enemy to oblivion. Your team members ...

Advantages: Tactically incredible. Takes the former one and throws it out the window Disadvantages: Not much difference between the first one and this one accept the missions
Yes, yet another one. It trust me it is dimensions better than the first one by a long shot. They have dived deeper into the world of war and how modern day special forces work under pressure and under fire- a cool sweet games that is easy to understand but incredibly difficult to master.
It is still set during the First Gulf War (The legal one!). It is set just after the Iraqi invasion of the neutral country of Kuwait and the SAS/Delta Force (Whichever ... ...disturb the enemy until allied UN forces arrive from the USA and the UK.
Enough of the same storyline as the last one lets look into the game play a bit. The controls are relatively the same with a few tweaks here and there. Nothing truly major, squad positioning has been greatly enhanced by using the circle button and then pressing various button so that the man you are sending out will either march, run, crawl, walk cautiously to their destination ...

Advantages: It's brill, and you'll know the format/controls from the first one. Disadvantages: No bonuses, no endgame sequence to speak of, too long to wait until the next one.
Yes, it’s true. No sooner had Bradley, the leader of my SAS team-of-four, escaped from his cell in an Iraqi POW camp after it was hit by a laser-guided bomb dropped from an allied stealth bomber, he managed to get stuck in a dimly lit pile of cardboard boxes behind a secluded shed. Mind you, while the standard issue for said team of four includes primary and secondary weapons (machine gun or telescopic rifle, plus handgun or shotgun for close-quarters-battle), ... ...and phosphorus), and half-a-dozen medipacks amongst others, there’s no mention of a tool to make sure you shoelaces aren't tied together, or a box navigator. Anyway, when needed, you’ll also be let loose with a laser designator to call in air strikes from gunships, LAW anti-tank hand-held missile launchers, or C4 with a remote control detonator. I’m hoping the latter might be in the shops soon, what with Guy Fawkes’ Night just around the corner. ...

...the release of the original Conflict: Desert Storm the other year, it was like music to my ears when I heard that CDSII was going to be released. They said that the minor flaws were to be fixed and that it would be a whole lot better and how right they were.
t's simple: You are either a four man SAS or Delta Force squad out in the desert's of Iraq. You are tasked to blow things up, infiltrate heavily defended installations and defend installations ... ...this is a squad based action game with many new additions! These new additions include rolling while lying down, phosphurus grenades, the all new flare gun and Claymore mines. The CO-OP mode its still there, adding to the replay value when you do the game with your friend.
Graphics are better, smarter, everything you expect for a sequel. The environments are nicer and more detailed, and the sun and searchlights actually have an effect on your aiming ...

Advantages: Excellent strategic game. Command your squad and live to learn by your mistakes. Disadvantages: Undetermined sights. Enemy troops tend to be a little suicidal and definately stupid
Owned Desert Storm and bought this sequel as soon as it hit the shelves. Basically the game continues where Desert Storm left off as far as the story line is concerned.
I cannot recommend this game enough. If you're an ex service man that has seen action you'll appreciate the sense of achivement that this game gives you although the buzz isn't quite the same! In command of three other specialists on missions within the deserts and urban sites within ... ...control of them physically. However sometimes its better to let them get on with it as they react to situations with the best possible form. Graphically the game ranks with M.O.H. When an RPG flies past your head it really does feel like its just flown past your head. However I found that running off to save one of my oppo's in the midst of a full on fire fight was not recommended as I tended to find that, as in reality, getting hit by an RPG seriously ...

Advantages: Will keep you out of mischief for quite a while, funnier than Soul Reaver Disadvantages: Can be repetitive in places, a couple of details need tweaking
...haven’t played Soul Reaver then the format will seem new to you, and it’s still a good game even if you have played Soul Reaver. It’s nowhere near as dull as some of the PS2 magazines said, and the bonuses available do make it worthwhile checking every corner and behind every tree. A promising start, and if all the faults are taken into account then Primal 2 would become a must-have purchase. Curiously enough, the endgame sequence is 'left hanging' somewhat, so you never know...!
Next game I'll be reviewing on the PS2 is Project Eden, followed by Conflict: DesertStormII. Both look good thus far. After that, I'll be ranting about either Medal of Honor: Frontline (now out on platinum for £20 - cool), or Deus Ex, which has been recommended by someone who played it on the original PC format.
Feel free to drop me a line if you...
