While Conflict has its setting and some unique presentation elements going for it, even its confinement to a single theater could be just as easily viewed as a hindrance. This isn't a bad game, but it's hard to recommend as a purchase given the timing. SOCOM is not a game that I found to be without its problems, but more or less everything Conflict does, SOCOM does a fair bit better, and the matter of online multiplayer gameplay widens the gap all that much more.
Looking at it another way, it comes at an unlucky time for its creators, given that it is following Sony's SOCOM to market. It revisits the Gulf War of the early '90s at a time when our nation's leadership seems bent on doing the same, sending the player on small squad-based missions behind the lines in Iraq. Looking at it one way, Conflict: Desert Storm is a rather timely release.
