    An entire shopping list of weapons are at the player's disposal. From the simple 9 mm handgun, to the sophisticated laser guidance bombing system and antitank weaponry, you will have more than you could ever need for finishing what Saddam Hussein started.

    The Gulf War, and modern warfare, is a tough topic to tackle and sadly this game just doesn’t go far enough to explore the war or the opportunities of a unique team system. A missed opportunity.

    It isn't "Counter-Strike," but it is a good way to waste an evening or two.

    If "SOCOM" weren't out there offering a similar experience, with tighter design, a greater variety of mission concepts, and online multiplayer, it would be easier to recommend.

    The dead-average quality of Desert Storm’s gameplay doesn’t help make the cause for realistic-to-a-fault military sims any easier to abdicate.

    This version isn't quite as intriguing as the conflict on the Xbox thanks to the shoddier look and only two-player multiplayer.

    It's not worth a second look by any but the most battle-hungry war fan. [Dec 2002, p.158]

    One of the best games ive played in a while. It is brilliant for a few mates to get together and have a bash and goof when your on your own. One of the best games ive played in a while.

This game is addicting big time. I mean, who doesn't like looking through the scope at an un-suspecting Iraqi soldier, just to pop him in the head and watch him flip over 180 style!
