(Also know as "Conflict: Global Storm") Bradley, Jones, Connors and Foley. The original heroes of "Conflict: Desert Storm" are back, this time having undergone intense training in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency techniques, all added to their wealth of extensive battlefield and special ops experience. In ensuring the safety of the team Foley goes MIA and the team must enlist the help of sniper Carrie Sherman. As the missions become more deadly and the team start to uncover more of March 33’s plans, its clear they face the greatest challenge of their careers to date. [SCi Games]

An ambitious and varied return to form and Pivotal's best offering to date. A seriously kick-ass war game. [Xbox World]

Easily the best game in the series to date. We can, at last, put the mess that was "Conflict: Vietnam" behind us and continue down this far brighter path.

It's robust, solid, and reasonably fun to work through, it's online, and packs in a fun multiplayer. It should be awesome, but generic gameplay and schoolboy errors don't quite cut it. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]

PGNx Media
The underlying gameplay in Conflict: Global Terror is pretty decent and enjoyable. If you’re playing with three other players, the game is actually a lot of fun.
74
Xbox Evolved
A well balanced 3rd person action game that is surprising in length, multiplayer, interactivity, gameplay and graphics.

Official Xbox Magazine
What it lacks in hardcore squad dynamics, however, it makes up for with its funky soundtrack, detailed graphics, and semi-tactical gameplay. CGT is competent, but not outstanding. [Dec 2005, p.110]

Team Xbox
A fantastic multiplayer showing is belittled and stifled quite a bit by a rather disappointing single player mode. AI is this game’s true failure which is a real shame considering the strides it has made in other areas.

Cheat Code Central
The single player game will hold your attention and you'll get more mileage out of it if you play on the harder difficulty settings, but the real secret to milking everything out of this one is the online co-op mode.

Edge Magazine
Global Storm feels like the true heir to the Conflict: Desert Storm games in more than just surname, and remains a worthy war effort, despite there being other games that may do it grander or deeper. [Nov 2005, p.102]

Conflict: Global Storm is such an improvement over the debacle that was Vietnam that it’s amazing to think they came from the same developer. [Nov 2005, p.118]

Game Informer
The action is satisfactory, and the multiplayer options are robust. [Nov 2005, p.148]

Xbox World Australia
For the fourth game in the series some of the main problems like team and enemy AI and dodgy controls should have been fixed long ago.
65
Gamezilla!
A middle of the line squad based game that fans are going to get enough out of. Others won’t be as impressed and may not make it through.
62
GameZone
Sadly, poor enemy and ally AI make for a frustrating action game that could have been better than this.
61
GameSpot
Like the previous games in the series, Global Terror offers some redeeming value as a shooter, but poor execution on certain aspects, such as the AI, keeps the game from distinguishing itself.
60
Sydney Morning Herald
The most flexible and feature-laden Conflict game yet, with a particularly tasty co-op mode.
60
GamePro
Dedicated fans of the series will find a challenge, but the cumbersome controls and questionable AI remain most effective kill-joys.

EuroGamer
Until Pivotal finally delivers a game where the enemies don't run at you like angry suicidal goats, and teaches your squad-mates to find proper cover it's never going to be worth more than the 6/10 score we slap on it every single year.
60
IGN
For a budget-oriented game, it offers plenty of shooting gallery fun and big explosions, and the missions are pretty long. But in the end, the relatively rudimentary AI made me wistful for "SWAT" and "Hidden & Dangerous."
60
GameBiz
The poor AI is inexcusable and very frustrating.
40
G4 TV
Many faults in control, AI, and presentation, all of which should be at a higher level considering this is the fourth game in the squad-based series.
36
GamingTrend
A game that does well on visual and audio presentation and utterly fails in execution. With the worst set of controls I have ever encountered in a video game and some of the weakest A.I. I have ever seen in a squad shooter.
30
WHAM! Gaming
There are some redeeming qualities to this game, however, like that unfinished steak; it urgently needs some more time on the grill. Lots of time and some more seasoning wouldn't hurt either.
30
GameSpy
The game's abysmal controls and moronic A.I. fail to deliver.
