  1. The gameplay, audio, and visuals provide for a great gaming experience, but without a multiplayer mode, the game lacks major replay-ability.
  2. Underneath its tarnished exterior is a game that's surprisingly engaging and intense. [Feb 2004, p.83]
  3. If Desert Storm 2 has one flaw, it's that there are only ten maps and these usually channel the player down avenues rather than provide ample playgrounds for strategic experimentation. [Nov 2003, p.100]
  4. One of those half-baked ports of a console game that someone figured might squeeze a few bucks out of PC owners. [Feb 2004, p.77]

    I could agree with Robert E. in some points, but still this game is very enjoyable. Good Graphics just dont make game - game needs to be fun and DS2 have it. Of course there is some minuses like too linear and unlimited enemies, but still game is good. Collapse
