Despite war being quite possibly the vilest of Man?s atrocities, it seems
to sell well in videogame form. While most shooters come in the form
of first person shooters set in World War II, the occasional game will
be released that focuses on modern warfare. Pivotal Games? Conflict
series is an example of the above, with the first two games being set
in Iraq, with a third in Vietnam. These games have not been especially
good; they?re usually ugly and generic in their visual and play styles,
but this has not stopped the series from selling millions of copies.
Conflict: Global Storm is the fourth game in the series, released under
the guise of Eidos Interactive (recently acquired by SCi, who
published the first three). Is Global Storm the first decent entry in the
series, or is it just attempt to cash in on the ?War on Terror
In South America, a new terrorist group ?March 33? has started to
emerge. Believed to be descendents from the ODESSA Nazis, March
33 aims to bring down the governments of the world, establishing
a new world order. To do so, they begin a campaign of violence
and intimidation. In response to this terrorist threat, the original
heroes of Conflict: Desert Storm; Bradley, Foley, Jones and Connors
are dispatched. It would appear that there is a mole within the
commanding ranks, and the CTU is ambushed upon landing. It?s
up to you to find out who this mole is, as well as preventing March
33 from reaching their goals.
