While Flawed, "Conflict: Global Terror Hits" The Mark

User Rating: 7.4 | Conflict: Global Storm PC
Conflict: Global Terror is simply one of the best shooters out there. C:GT gets high marks for realism. I was surprised to see when firing a SAW that every fifth round is a tracer as in real life. The troopers in your unit all talk and have their own personalities. I've been hearing from others that the graphics aren't that hot but I disagree. The graphics are very good and they create a nice atmosphere.

One drawback of this game is that it has a bigger learning curve than most squad based shooters. The controls are a bit clunky but when you get used to them, it provides a lot of options. The game lets you delay actions for troops so they can hide and wait for you to give the order to fire. This is great for ambushes. However with all these options come a lot of buttons to remember and that's where the learning comes in. Another drawback is the AI at some points the enemy troops get really stupid. At certain points they will run right behind the other down a hall or walkway making it very easy to shoot them. Often you get left with a pile of bodies one on top of the other where they all got shot in the same place. I would like an enemy that dove behind cover when the first guy gets shot. I wish the AI were more like that in the Brothers In Arms series,

All-in-all game is worth a look to anyone who likes action games. Even with the flaws it provides some good action and fun.
