Amazon.co.uk Review
Though Conflict: Desert Storm II runs the risk of seeming too insensitive even for video 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

I thought this was very good, you can see the faces of the people as you squeeze off a few rounds, if you see them before they see you then you punish them, bad, if not just pour it on and fight your way out of it, it's just fun, you get a wide selection of weapons on each level, loads of ammo, you can switch between four different soldiers, you get stats back after each level what your accuracy was etc., I have played this so much I'm never selling it

It has no appeal to me, and does not live up to the standerds of the first game. Too similar with no cool new features, get Halo 2 instead.
 Conflict desert storm 2 : Absolutely crap March 1, 2004

this was certainly the worst first person shooter ever, with its pixel graphics and poor gameplay. I played the original and seems it was even better than the follow up hence my one star review. I believe the game can be much improved in every way. The only thing that interested me in the game was the XBOX live compatability, however the levels were poor and can be much improved. I think this was a rushed game and not thought of any detail, you are much better getting something along the line of rainbow six 3 or halo for this genre but i highly reccomend top spin for its online abilities. Overall this is a poor game with nothing but boring 90's style gameplay. Absolute waste of money although i rented it, the shop i rented it from has stopped selling it as a result of complants. It's a no go for real XBOX fans but the odd person really interested in seeing the sites of baghdad might take a closer look at the back cover of this title. VERY POOR!

This game has no real improvements on the first title however it is still a decent squad shooter. The game though is short and I personally prefer the first title as it has a bigger variety of missions. The game though is fun however the game is worth renting before you buy
