How Metascores Are Calculated
|
At the height of the 1991 Gulf War, 300 clicks into the heart of Iraq, you must command your squad of Special Forces operatives to strike at Iraq's evil dictator, and his fascist regime. Armed with an authentic arsenal of high-tech weapons and vehicles, your squad will face impossible odds in this battle against tyranny. Only strategy and skill will ensure your survival through frantic firefights, gut-wrenching vehicular combat, and gripping stealth operations. "The Mother of All Battles" is coming to your console in Gotham Games' Conflict: Desert Storm II Back to Baghdad. The troops are in position, so lock and load, and get ready to GO LOUD!

The gameplay is reminiscent of "Ghost Recon" and "SOCOM" but much more action-packed. Before you’re done, you have destroyed important Iraqi locations and helped your teammates survive.

Game Chronicles
This is not a game to be approached by the casual action gamer. There is a lot of strategy, planning, and even some character building required to achieve maximum effectiveness and mission success.

Each crevice is likely to hold trigger-happy snipers, each road blocked off with mortar crews. Fighting is far more intense this way and navigating the streets of Baghdad can be a nerve-racking experience.

Nintendophiles
A solid, fun military war game. The game is nice and challenging, whether in single player or multi-player. For those who like to play games with friends, and not just against them, the co-op mode is amazing and worth taking advantage of.

I know that there are better games out there today, especially within the genre, but I really enjoyed playing this game.

GameZone
The best thing is that this version allows gamers to play with their friends throughout the game cooperatively, which is a blast. If you got the first game than you will definitely want to play this one.

IGN
It takes the realism high road and emphasizes the "tactical" and "squad-based" elements of its genre and forces gamers to adapt to its style and rewards those who do.

Gamezilla!
A fun and addictive cooperative game in the vein of "SOCOM II."

Anyone who’s looking for a game where you can run around shooting everything in sight, look somewhere else. But if you enjoy war games, you should definitely check this game out.

Though it does have its pleasing points, ultimately Conflict Desert Storm II is caught between appealing more toward hardcore military simmers or action fans.

Cheat Code Central
It's not like being there, but Desert Storm offers us a glimpse into what modern warfare is like. Even though the most technologically advanced nation on the planet is taking on a third-world country, the dangers are still many and varied.

This title would have been better if the design was more polished and the controls were more sophisticated.

Conflict: Desert Storm II isn't without problems, but it's not the worst squad-based game you'll ever play, and it's decidedly improved over the original game.

Gaming Age
The game unfortunately offers only story mode for single and multiplayer actions. No head to head death matches, no randomly generated maps to conquer. This hurts the replay value of this game quite a bit, with little to go back for.

NintendoWorldReport
Unless you’re starved for “tactical” action, there is little reason to buy Conflict: Desert Storm 2. While it is an improvement over the first one, the two games are largely identical and suffer from the same identity problem.

Nintendo Power
The game's lighting effects and detailed graphics are impressive. [Apr 2004, p.122]

EuroGamer
For those expecting massive advancements or a radical departure from the original, this will come as a disappointment. A more honest, realistic assessment would be to treat this as a mission pack, and for those who do just want more of the same, you'll come away a satisfied customer.
