Game Revolution - "Conflict: Desert Storm is a dangerous mission, but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. This version isn't quite as intriguing as the conflict on the Xbox thanks to the shoddier look and only two-player multiplayer. That's all for now. Dismissed." Review by Brian Gee with scorecard C and screen shot. PlayStation 2
GamePro.com - "A solid graphics and sound package does help Conflict's theatre of operations, though. An armory of nice-looking authentic weapons that Delta Force and SAS handled during their desert battles can be used, while character animations are fluid and lifelike." Review by Four-Eyed Dragon with screen shots and scores. Xbox
WorthPlaying - 6.2/10 "...features technically accurate yet wholly unimpressive visuals." GameCube

GameSpot - Reviewed by Jeff Gerstmann (5.1/10). Screen shots, cheats and hints, and gameplay movies. GameCube (April 30, 2003)
GameSpy.com - Reviewed by Russ Fischer (2/5). "The promise of well-implemented squad tactics is completely undercut by terrible control and routine missions." Includes screen shots. GameCube (April 26, 2003)
GameOver - "The problem Conflict: Desert Storm is going to face is that it really won't be able to find an audience. Though the game has some fun slow-paced gameplay, it isn't really intense enough for hardcore FPS fans, and it's not as strategically built for fans of squad-based mission games like Rainbow Six." Review by Alex Fitzgerald with screen shots and overall score 71%. Xbox (November 6, 2002)
GameOver - "Though the game has some fun slow-paced gameplay, it isn't really intense enough for hardcore FPS fans, and it's not as strategically built for fans of squad-based mission games like Rainbow Six." Review by Alex Fitzgerald with overall score 65% with screen shots. PlayStation 2 (November 6, 2002)
GameSpy.com - "It isn't Counter-Strike, but it is a good way to waste an evening or two. Conflict: Desert Storm is a perfect choice for an extended weekend rental." Review by Adam Pavlacka with score 71 and screen shots. PlayStation 2 (October 26, 2002)
GameSpot - "Conflict: Desert Storm's problematic gameplay and run-of-the-mill presentation keep it from succeeding on any level." Reviewed by Jeff Gerstmann (4.8/10). Includes screen shots, walkthroughs, trailer, and downloadable demo. Windows (October 25, 2002)
GameSpot - "Conflict: Desert Storm has a couple of neat ideas, and it's one of the few PlayStation 2 games to attempt to do tactical combat. It even has a multiplayer mode, though it feels like it was tossed in as an afterthought." Review by Jeff Gerstmann with score 4.5 and screen shots. PlayStation 2 (October 7, 2002)
ign.com - "Conflict's biggest problem, as I say, is the availability of a much better alternative. If SOCOM weren't out there offering a similar experience, with tighter design, a greater variety of mission concepts, and online multiplayer, it would be easier to recommend." Review by David Smith with overall score 5.5 and screen shots. PlayStation 2 (October 2, 2002)
ign.com - " Closing Comments I enjoyed Conflict Desert Storm because it had a nice balance of authenticity and accessibility. It was easier to pick up and get into than a Rainbow Six game mainly because you don't have to worry about mission planning and assigning weaponry and troops. I get my four guys, they've got their gear and it's up to me to get the job done with the tools I've got." Review by Aaron Boulding with screen shots and overall score 7.7. Xbox (September 26, 2002)
GameSpot - "But the interface and poor control are bigger enemies than the game's Iraqi soldiers ever are, and in the end, this is a game you can surely live without." Review by Jeff Gerstmann with score 4.8 and screen shots. Xbox (July 10, 2002)
