Description

On the morning of 2nd August 1990, 300,000 Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait, an action that would culminate in the Gulf War. After diplomatic efforts failed, the opposing coalition forces responded by preparing offensive operations, codenamed ‘Desert Storm’. Desert Storm delivered a decisive victory, one that was achieved through meticulous planning, superb training and daring execution. Fundamental to its success were the activities of the Elite Special Forces – small teams of highly trained soldiers tasked with infiltrating enemy territory to neutralise key targets

Conflict: Desert Storm lets you take charge of the best known and most feared special operations forces in the world: the Elite British SAS or the US Delta Force squads. Comprising a team of the toughest and most highly skilled soldiers in their field, each squad contains a dedicated team leader, a heavy weapons and demolitions expert, a specialist in infiltration and electronics and a deadly sniper

Based on actual events during the Gulf War, Conflict: Desert Storm places you in the midst of real war environments. Highly covert missions take you through hostile environments where only your expertise in stealth, tactics and firepower will ensure success and the safety of your squad.

Your missions are as unpredictable as they are dangerous; from defending to attacking, you’ll need to be adept at all aspects of combat. Your assignments will take you from Al Khafji, where you’ll need to defend the town and slow the advance of the Iraqi invasion, to deep desert on vital scud-hunting missions, right up to Baghdad itself, on highly secretive rescue and assassination operations.

Conflict: Desert Storm is a 3rd person squad based action game that has unprecedented realism and depth and is a carefully balanced equation of fast paced action, stealth and tactical warfare.

Features:

- Team-based action and stealth featuring four easy-to-control characters.
- Large detailed environments with smoke, heat haze, and shadows.
- Seamless movement between indoor and outdoor environments.
- Interact with helicopters, tanks and other vehicles.
- Reward system utilizing medals and promotions, plus the experience system allows soldiers to improve from mission to mission.
- In-depth Artificial Intelligence governs enemy actions and fellow team members.
- Stunning graphics and visual effects.
- Dynamic, interactive music and stunning sounds effects.

Review by Paul on 20th November, 2003
5 stars "You'll play this over and over."
One of the best squad-based combat games out there that may have crept under everyone’s "great game" radar.

Choosing either the British SAS or the US Delta force, your first mission is to rescue your sniper, who was captured during the intro sequence. You're on your own and the first cries of "alarm American!" reach your ears just before the first bullets from an AK-47 come whizzing past.

After you've met up with the other 3-team members of your squad, you move further through Kuwait and Iraq, completing different missions.

You take control of individual soldiers or you can give them orders from your preferred character. The controls are relatively easy to get the hang of and it all sort of falls into place after the first fight. Though there are times when your men have been taken out and you're running around under fire trying to get health to them and it seems all is lost, which makes for a tense gaming experience.

While it's not going to win cinematic awards, the graphics are decent, (eye candy is a bonus not a necessity for good game play), and the sound is awesome if it's cranked up and you're taking on half the Iraqi armoured division.

Multiplayer is fantastic. You, a mate, 2 characters each and a split screen take on the Iraqis. You’ll be yelling and shouting at each other the whole time to ensure you complete the missions successfully.

Levels are large enough to wonder what’s around the next corner and characters gain experience, rankings and medals depending on their performances.

There are 3 levels of difficulty to keep you going and many different levels. Multiplayer will keep you coming back for more. If you like a game that sucks you into its atmosphere, this is it!
