Conflict Zone

"Death has just achieved physical status... as this CD."

Graphics: I think the developers got together in some guy's basement and said, "Lets make the worst graphics possible with the worst frame rate possible!" Well, they achieved that at least. The whole game runs on what looks like 16 colors. Water is purple, mountains are brown and grass is an ugly green. Character models have two colors to them (Uniform and skin.) and they float instead of walking. Tanks do the same thing, and so do all other vehicles. The trees are 1D , and consist of a badly made polygon of green sticking out of the four corners of the tree (Since the body is square.) to try and resemble leaves. And you can imagine the rest, the game looks horrible. The worst looking game on any modern console. 1/10

Sound: Equally terrible are the sound effects. Which include the same sound for every single thing! Well, sorta. Missiles are a low-pitched whoosh while machine guns are a rapid, high pitched whoosh. But in reality its all the same thing. The voice overs are laughable and explosions are a very low pitched whoosh. Music? Turn it off. Its rancid. 1/10

Story: There is none. This game thinks a blatant USA rip off code named Allies or something stuck in a virtual middle east shooting fake Middle eastern soldiers is even passable as a story? And across cut scenes the game will stick in bizzare and stupid, sometimes idiotic, bits of humor. Mooing cows walking around before the cut scene begins, or some guy making fart jokes before giving a military speech. 1/10

Game play: The game forces you to build many structures are strips of land called control zones or something. But you don't really need to, as the enemy will never attack you and will always win. Wait what? Yeah, you heard me. If you build up an entire fleet of tanks and soldiers you will loose. Why? Don't ask. The enemy seems to be twice as powerful as you, and they will always win! But lets get to the building the army part. You have to build a hilarious amount of buildings just to make a few units. Some tanks, anti-air tanks and a handful of different soldiers are the only real fighters here. Then you get useless jeeps and mine trucks (What?) that just run into and get stuck in front of important units. And when the time finally comes to rush your elite army into the fray you'll realize they're a fleet of babbling morons, getting stuck in little craters and trees and I even saw one get stuck in a control box around a tank, and the poor man floated hopelessly towards his doom in mid-air. So that means you have to painstakingly click here and there to quickly avoid your units getting stuck in each other's way. And when the fighting finally starts you'll pray you can go back in time and not buy this game. It will drop to about 5 frames per second, with missiles and bullets flying both ways. Only problem? The enemy doesn't seem to die. It takes 30 missiles to kill one enemy tank, and it takes ten to kill yours. Thats all you need to know. Though battles are rather long, they're all pointless. The enemy will almost instantly spawn elite tanks and helicopters out of no where while you struggle to survive. Completely broken AI.

Oh, one last thing. The difference between the two factions? The American rip off faction has higher prices. Thats /it/. 1/10

Rent or buy: Neither, I pray you take my warning. 1/10

Final: This game is junk. Its not fun, it has broken AI and looks like a first generation Voodoo card runs it. Worst game made.
