Summary

In Global Conflicts: Palestine, you assume the role of a freelance journalist who has just arrived in Jerusalem armed with a pen, a notepad and your sharp wits to get you through the challenges ahead. The goal is to create and get an article published for a newspaper by collecting quotes from the dialog in the game. The player can either get information by building up trust with each side or take a more confrontational approach to dig out information. In the end, the story with the most news-value will get the best exposure, but be careful what you print, it will affect your standings with both sides. No matter the approach or the chosen alignment, during the course of the game your beliefs and ideas about the conflict will be challenged. You will experience situations - taken from real life events - that are more complicated than outsiders may realize. [GamersGate]

PC Zone UK

Both fun and edifying, it offers a level of depth and intelligence that's rare in the indie scene. [Nov 2007, p.88]

GameZone

Provokes a lot of thought and patience. Placing gamers in the role of a journalist overseas does shed a lot of new light of what is happening in today’s society. But overall, Global Conflicts doesn’t conjure up enough fun to make it worth everybody’s time.

Eurogamer

GC: Palestine doesn't offer the gloss, excitement, or replayability of a mainstream RPG, but it's intriguing and powerful enough for this not to matter... much.

Not a particularly fun game. [Dec 2007, p.64]

Interesting teaching tool, but this is more work than play. [Oct 2007, p.77]
