Whilst looking at all the mags on sale in ASDA yesterday I noticed that there was a free playable demo of Desert Storm II.

Im getting the PS2 version on the 19th but I was wondering what you lot thought of the demo seeing as the versions will be similar.

ie getting Die Hard purely for it's multiplayer mode is what I am doing.

The single player mode is a bonus.

CDS-2 has a better multiplayer than Die Hard: Vendetta.

Seeing as the multiplayer in the original was better than DH:V, the path of logic leads us to predict what I said with a certain degree of accuracy.

Depends on how good the single player mode is. From what I have played it feels like an expansion more than anything else.

Conflict: Desert Storm II then...

Been playing the demo of this quite a bit today, and I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed by it. That's not to say that I think it's a bad game; far from it. It's just that it's not really my thing. For someone with my "intelligence", having to co-ordinate your team members' movement and hand out orders and suchlike really requires to much brain cell rubbing.

Plus I also found the aiming - both with and without auto-aim activated - quite dodgy, along with the character movement and animation, which for me has a vast influence over the amount of enjoyment I'm going to get out of a game.

Graphics were quite nice though. :P

Co-op mabye but since it doesn't actually have a deathmatch mode it can hardly said to have a better deathmatch that Die Hard now can it?

If you check further down I believe I mentioned I was getting it for the Deathmatch and I have yet to finish co-operative play on the first C:DS.
