  1. Everything from the menu screens to the game’s graphics has been revamped.
  2. Certainly isn’t a major departure for the series but the visible improvements and perfect additions make for an entertaining romp that’s decent enough.
  3. Ultimately, this offers little over the first Desert Storm other than a new campaign and several engine tweaks but given the game's setting, there's precious little more you could ask of it. [Oct 2003, p.126]
  4. 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]

    Play this game with a friend and you will understand why I have given this game full marks. Yes the controls are a little quirky & the AI limited bu tthe joy of setting up a precise crossfire with four solidiers is second to none. This game is an improvement graphically & practically to the first one & deserves a try out for any TPS fans. Expand

    Eh. It's good, but limited. If the game were BIGGER - more story, more Delta 'cloak and dagger' nonsense - then it might not become so stale so quickly. Expand
