In combat situations you have the option of either taking control and moving your troops into position yourself and setting them up or simply issuing commands to the other guys to move into a position that you designate with a cursor and even choosing what direction you want them to face. The amount of control you have over your squad-mates is surprising, all things considered, but it's a crucial part of a game like this. All of your squad commands are accessed by holding the left trigger and then hitting face buttons to select specific troops and issue orders to move, fire at will or hit the deck. This can be a little disorienting, especially if they're totally spread out and you haven't been keeping track of where they are. You can switch between any soldier in your unit at anytime by tapping on the D-pad and cycling to the one you want and you instantly see things from his perspective. But there are also extremely important inventory and team management functions that have been cleverly mapped to the Xbox controller. The game is optimized for third person control on a controller so the majority of your time will be spent aiming and firing with the right trigger.
With only 15 levels you would think this is a waste, but there's a surprising amount of gameplay, thanks to lots quick deaths, in Conflict Desert Storm. For example there aren't too many obstacles your main character, the assault trooper, can't handle but new challenges arise as you acquire your sniper, heavy machine gunner and explosives expert. You wont' have the benefit of the sniper, that very same commando that's been captured by Iraq, until you first rescue him in the game's first mission.Įven though there's a very comprehensive training mode, these initial levels where you're meeting up with your team members also ease you into the game's way of thinking. You play most of the game with a team four specialists -an assault trooper, sniper, heavy weapons expert and a demolitions expert/medic- but you pick up new members throughout each of the first four levels. We're dropped into the Middle East on Aug 2, 1990, the day Iraq invaded Kuwait, and we're shown how a member of our commando unit has been captured by the occupying Iraqi military. The story of the Gulf War is an integral part of how gamers will approach Conflict Desert Storm.
