description

With factions fighting to reinstate democracy, the U.S. government has offered their assistance, though the new government regime has threatened to deploy nuclear weapons if the U.S. meddles in Venezuelan affairs. The threat needs to be neutralized, and the U.S can't risk nuclear war.
The CIA Special Activities Division operates in isolation and secrecy. If captured, any link with the U.S. Government will be denied.
Conflict: Denied Ops is a highly accessible co-op FPS featuring massive, extremely explosive firefights across destructible environments. Work as a team to utilize the specific skills of each operative and experience the ultimate in destructive satisfaction with tons of exploding objects and an endless barrage of terrorists who are begging to be blown to hell.

Conflict: Denied Ops Armies of the world are trained differently. Let's face it. Soldiers from the US Marines, Delta Force and the Commandos would probably have a field day prioviding who is better. In the world of video games, it's the equivalent of asking if the guys at Rainbow Six are better than the guys at Call Of Duty than the guys at Socom, and so it goes on. But what is guaranteed is that any of those guys can probably wipe out the duo from Conflict: Denied Ops. Yet another first-person shooting game, Conflict: Denied Ops is the first of the Conflict series that strips away the squad-based tactical gameplay, and goes for the two-person tag team set-up. The end result is a game that is not different from the many FPS clones on the shelves. You command two guys, namely machine-gun toting Lang and sniper Graves. Lang is African-American and more about brawn, while Graves is Caucasian and faster on his feet. Differences between both characters, whom you can opt to control at any time during the game, are clearly laid out and it is up to the player to decide which soldier is the best person for the job. In Conflict: Denied Ops, you cannot switch weapons, as is the norm in most FPS games. Instead, you switch characters, and the game developers have made a big deal out of this. But how different is switching characters - Lang and Graves, each with a different weapon - than simply switching the weapons themselves? Duh. What's also irritating is that in Campaign mode, you might be better off fighting solo. Whenever you're under fire, your partner will not help you, unless you order him to. Rather than waste time coordinating a flank, I'm better off taking down the enemy forces on my own. The graphics, while pretty, are what I call the sunlight effect: While detailed, the reflection of the sun on everything gives buildings, vehicles and walls a bright, glowing effect. If the action is indoors, it's as if the walls are doused with oil, such that everything has a shimmering look. Unreal. Overall, Conflict: Denied Ops is a generic military tour rather than tour de force. This game plays like any decent FPS and its two-player co-op campaign is more fun than a solo effort, as you can now rely on your partner's skills.

Bad This game is bad. Don't buy it.
The only pro is:
1. The cover looks pretty good
Good for a laugh... Make no mistake; Conflict: Denied Ops is not a great game! It's not a classic that will be genre changing or remembered but... it's fun!
The AI is almost non-existent, the voice acting is laughably bad and the graphics belong on the original Xbox but still, the actual gameplay is easy to get into and reminds me of the Halo: Combat Evolved days of gaming. Lots of shooting and big, fun explosions.
It's a good game to keep for those rainy days or quiet times when no other good titles are being released... like now! ;-)
