Conflict: Desert Storm II—Back to Baghdad returns to the sands of Iraq, following in the footsteps of Conflict: Desert Storm. With updated graphics and an improved A.I., the line between sim and action games keeps getting blurrier and blurrier every day.

With a free-roaming environment and a more-than-just-multiplayer-friendly layout, this third-person action-shooter offers a chance to control a squad of the most highly trained soldiers in either the British or American military. It also offers a world that is interactive enough that players can jump into a truck and drive across the desert.

Since this is really the most fun with friends along, they can jump into that truck alongside you and help in the defense and offense departments. There's nothing quite like hanging off of the back of a truck and firing at enemies, while a friend tries to keep your vehicle of choice moving in the right direction or mounts up on whatever weapons turret happens to be available.

With so much hardware present and accounted for, along with the usual (not to mention realistic) personal equipment of each squad member, Conflict: Desert Storm II—Back to Baghdad brings back all of the intensity of the original, as well as its own personal flair.
