Conflict: Desert Storm II -- Back to Baghdad Is the most brilliant co-op multi player i have ever played in my life!

User Rating: 8.8 | Conflict: Desert Storm II - Back to Baghdad PS2
Part 2 in the series, Back to Baghdad is a squad-based shooter that picks up right where the first Desert Storm left off. John Bradley, Paul Foley, Mick Connors, and David Jones are back once again to team up and once again take on Saddam's henchmen. Whether it's protecting friendly choppers from enemy fire, the burning oil fields, Iraq's chemical weapons program, or secret superguns, there was apparently enough unfinished business left to serve as the basis for a second game.
This game, however, takes place during the 1991 Gulf War and once again has players operating as either US Special Forces or British SAS operatives. There's no Saddam Hussein in either Conflict Desert Storm game, but the sequel offers up some technical enhancements, a few new moves and weapons, and even more of the hardcore tactical squad combat that made the original an underground favorite. In all honesty, not enough of what was wrong in the first game has been fixed to make this one a giant leap over its predecessor, but fans of the series will be pleased with the new missions and fresh features.
The set of skills you'll need to be successful is unique among many similar themed games. Fast twitch read and reaction abilities like you'd need in a third-person shooter combined with the patience and analytical skills you might have to use in a realtime strategy are both at a premium here. It's for this reason that this second game in the series should be received with open arms.
The biggest enhancement to the split-screen multiplayer mode is the fact that you'll be riding in vehicles more often in CDSII and the fact that you begin the game with all four characters active and available. The game is co-op which is an automatic plus, but you're playing through the same story with buddies as you would if you were alone. The last game began with only the main character playable, so if you wanted to play with four buddies you had to advance the game to the third mission.
