Conflict: Global Terror Demo

The Conflict series took gamers by surprise when it was first released, mainly due to the fact that it required a very tactical approach and calculated team play, in order to overpower the superior enemy numbers. Moreover, you had command over the other squad members as well and you could issue orders whenever you wanted to employ a specific strategy.

Just like in the first game, Conflict: Global Terror features the same team of elite warriors, namely Bradley, Jones, Connors and Foley. A new member by the name of Sherman joins them, who is also the first female protagonist in the franchise and a real asset throughout the campaign. As always, you are still able to issue the desired commands whenever you require to do so and your squad mates will quickly comply.

The story line this time around revolves around a terrorism cell called March 33, which are descendents of the ODESSA Nazis. Their purpose is to employ violence and terror in order to accomplish various objectives across the world and cause as much havoc and destruction as possible in the process. You and your team are obviously assigned the mission to stop them, which must be carried out over the course of the campaign.

The game developers advertise the fact that they have worked closely with actual military people from around the world in order to come up with the AI system, which should be capable of outsmarting you. Hence, using strategies like flanking and cover points, the enemies can organize ambushes and take you by surprise, forcing you to carefully plan your infiltration before each mission.

As far as the visual aspect is concerned, the game fares quite well, especially thanks to the improved models and the newly added rag doll capabilities. These, together with more responsive gameplay mechanics give you the needed edge in order to put your tactical mind at work and take on a variety of missions around the globe.

In the end, Conflict: Global Terror brought the modifications everyone was asking for and refined the overall product down to the last detail. On the other hand, the exaggerated plot kind of ruins the feeling and hurts the realism a bit, especially since most of the scenarios would have been quite interesting otherwise.
