    Ah, Conflict: Desert Storm.  Don't be deceived by the review scores.  I've probably poured well over 100 hours into this game, and that's a lot, considering I wasn't even 10 when I played it.  I've played through the campaign several times, and I never got tired of it.  Every time my friend from down the street came over, we would play this game.  I've tried it a couple times with 4 players, but I think it loses some of it's enjoyability.  When you're playing with 1 friend, you each get an AI teammate to control, and you also have the option to switch between them on the fly.  The missions are surprisingly deep, and there are many ways to complete your objectives.  Half of the fun is planning out your attack, which is made even more fun by the variety of weapons and items that you are and your teammates have.  Each member of your squad has a special ability.  There's the all-around leader, a sniper, a heavy arms specialist, and a demo expert.  Players have to take up their role if they want to succeed.  The first level of this game will probably always stay with me, although I was player 1.  In this mission, the first player has to rescue his friend from a prison cell.  I'm not sure how good friends you'll be after this level. :\  I'm not exactly sure how well this game will hold up, but I know that it has some of the best cooperative play in any game.  Expect a review soon.

    I tried it based on this type of "it's really deep and good for a budget game" user reviews.

    It was awful, the graphics were not up to N64 standards.  Then I realized everyone who loved this game was a Wal Mart shopper w/ a brother in the military

    shut up you morons (c wat i did thar)

    it's actually a great game, you just need to look beyond the run and gun of c0ck of d00dy 4 (c wat i did thar). Setting upo your team in such a clever way that you bring such immense destruction to a huge horde of enemies is an awesome feeling

    What system did you play it on?  Did you play it with others?  I forgot to mention that I played it on the original XBOX.

    This was probably the first co op game me and my friends played.  they would come over to my house and we would play all day for like 6 months straight.

    I'm sure if  I went back now and tried to play it, it would be terrible, but back then it was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a game.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. Conflict Desertstorm and Vietnam are great games, I own CDS2 and Conflict Vetnam and they are awesome games, they have such original squad control.

    I played Conflict: Desert Storm 4 or 5 years ago and I enjoyed it. The squad tactics were rudimentary, but as you said the different successful approaches you could take to each mission made it fun to experiment and replay. I never played it co-operatively, only solo, but I have to imagine that would only enhance the enjoyment.
