It ant really that bad. I think gamespot underrated it.
Gameplay-(6.8) The gameplay was good and bad if that makes any sense. For one the control is horrible, controlling your solider is really a problem because of how broken it is. I think in its respect that the gameplay is pretty broken. The one thing that i thought was pretty good for me though was the squad control because i think this was the first game i ever played with squad control and i thought it was great.
Graphics-(4.0) Being honest it looks pretty crap, it looks like a late gen dreamcast game. Not really a PS2 game. I would forgive it if this was a first gen PS2 game but for 2002 i think that they could really do better.
Sound-(4.6) Once again, not so good. the voices are pretty annoying. ESPECIALLY THE DRILL SARGENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. The soundtrack is annoying and gets old after a while and the guns don't sound so good.
Value-(5.5) Value is not very good, you'd probably play through it once and never play it again, yep its one of those games. Overall though i would say the Conflict Desert Storm ant that bad.
