    The Graphics were pretty bad but I wasn't expecting any better out of a game this old. The game play was terrible. This was essentially a single player DLC for Counter: Strike but the AI was terrible. Sometimes a bot would stand in front of another bot and not even shoot for multiple seconds, despite both of the bots being completely still. I did not have any fun with this game

    Not as good as the original and the story mode is very dull. A nice update for the hardcore fans but not much else here. I don't think anyone but the hardcore really got into this one.

    Yeah, I don't get the point of this.. Lets have a really poor storyline and tack it onto the most popular multiplayer shooter at the time and then make it single player.... er... What were you thinking. If you want single player counterstrike grab the bots. If there had been a really good storyline attached I could have seen a reason for the release of this.

    This game is super buggy. I bought it for an older 1.6ghz dell. No problems with any games until I got this. I was one fo the people with the famous mouse won't work right and is eratic problems. Something they still havn't fixed. I can play this on my newer comp but still the older one same problems and none with any other game. Reformatted just no go. 1.6 works fineThis game is super buggy.

Anyway I'm pretty dissapointed in valvles idea of gaming. Seems more like a money venture to rip us off from our trust b4 steam bought out CS.… Expand

    It took valve 3 or something years to take an already made game and add bots to it......

    Horrid, this game's single player was so terrible that it could only be successful if the setting and storyline was changed. The AI is dumb as rocks, this should be a game involving mindless zombies... wait... they made Left4Dead... I guess they just ported over the CS:CZ single player game and made it a multiplayer. Games TERRIBLE. Worst of the 3 Counter-Strikes.

    Simply lame =) the single player has a low replay value and the bots is a stupid idea when you can play with real people. Fun to escape to when you over dose on 1.6, but CZ is more of a place to shove the noobs off of 1.6 and source.

    Counter-Strike Condition Zero is not worth walking to the store and paying $9.95 or ordering it online. It has very little changes compared 1.6 and the game has become a spawning ground for newbies with little challenge in online game play.

    Quite simply, poor. It has no new maps, no new weapons, nothing is new here and I just cant justify buying it. Perhaps if i was on a 56k internet connection andcouldnt download 1.6 or source. But even then I cant see the point. The bots A.I. is atrocious, their aim is dire, and they walk on rails. They cant play like humans, finding new ways of hiding playing camping and new ways again to Quite simply, poor.

    Would not recommend anyone to play this game. The gameplay is worse than Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike. Condition Zero was a waste of money and time to make.

    It's one of the worst games i have ever played, it gets bored too fast.. I play CS online for about 6 years and i enjoy it, so where is the problem? the answer - single player :) it can be played just by the people, who haven't got internet connection...

    This game was a dissapointment. it took valve way to long to take cs 1.6, and add bots (wich by the way are shit) and make you have to unlock maps. i hate bots so much, and i think they should be taken off of the game. they sit there like retards, atleast make them smart. half of the time they sit in a corner and stare at an enemy through the wall, who is also hiding in another corner....

    3 words... This Game Sucked! The only thing this game is good for is a newb that needs a little training before getting online. Crappy graphics... crappy online... nothing compared to CS 1.6, and the new release of CS:S. Let me put it this way, CS 1.5 was better.

    Эксперимент в серии CS?!
    Первая попытка Valve поставить некогда бесплатное дополнение к оригинальной Half-Life на коммерческие рельсы. Сделанное чужими людьми и из рук вон плохо.
    По сути это CS 1.6 с подтянутыми текстурами и улучшенными моделями. Поскольку создать свой собственный сервер с ботами и настраивать их как заблагорассудится - стало не комильфо, то главное что отличает игру от    Эксперимент в серии CS?!

    По сути это CS 1.6 с подтянутыми текстурами и улучшенными моделями. Поскольку создать свой собственный сервер с ботами и настраивать их как заблагорассудится - стало не комильфо, то главное что отличает игру от предшественницы это однопользовательская часть, выполненная в лучших традициях третьей кваки, т.е. просто мультиплеерные карты с ботами. Причем политкорректно разрешающее играть исключительно за контров, разбавленное типо тактическим подбором команды и заданиями в духе "зарежь пять террористов с ножа за 45 секунд". А также абсолютный трэшак под видом компании из Deleted Scenes... Вместо того что бы порадовать игроков перестрелками в духе Солдат Удачи, в CS CZ DS за нами с первых же минут гоняются местные моджахеды с ятаганами наперевес, у которых даже пути преследования цели нормально не прописаны, они с легкостью могут оббежать все окрестности максимально убогих по дизайну уровней, а затем уткнуться в стену и бежать в нее... если бы это была шутка, то она определенно бы удалась.

    The problem is that neither the physics nor the graphics have aged particularly well; if you're looking for a next-gen FPS, this is not it. It is, however, a decent update to one of the best titles of yesterday. [Apr 2004, p.108]

    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero only gets its score because of the multiplayer, and if you’re after this for anything other than a visual tweak and a disc filled with Half-Life 2 videos, you’d be best off not bothering at all.

    It certainly doesn't do enough to compete with today's shooters and the fact that much of the game is already available in another format makes this version seem a bit redundant.
