    Counter Strike: Condition Zero is a good version of Counter Strike. The graphics are essentially higher than Counter Strike, and and the 3-D models are changed. It would be good for FPS players but no for CS fans.

    I know this was meant to be a Counter-Strike game with a proper single player experience, but sadly, development hell made that very hard. However, you still get a game with a nice little multiplayer like single player experience, which sadly is a bit repetitive. The multiplayer component hasn't got anything wrong, but still, it is just Counter-Strike with a little bit better graphics.

    Counterstrike has never really been my favourite shooting game, but it is awesome i must say. After some time i felt that the game got boring, and i have never been able to understand why this is "the" shooting game. The only reason i have not deleted this game from my steam list is because of the zombie mod. It is really epic, and probably the best thing you get in this game.

    The version Gearbox was working on looked alot better. They should have just completed that rather than scrap it and start again. It would have been out sooner and more than likely would have been a stronger game.

    Not a good game, just CS 1.6 with bots. Deleted Scenes ( comes with it ) is a much better game. I don't see why valve chose this version for the final.

    Not the best, maybe for slower/older computers, Source is slightly better. 1.6 is more advisable.

    The result of a brilliant mod (best ever?) degenerated iby commercialism. CS is all about multiplayer, always has and always will be.

    This is a very fun game, I have enjoyed it alot, but if you're a hardcore Counter-Strike junkie already, this aint your game, but if you're kinda bored, but still looking into something like Counter-Strike, this is your game. It's fresh, new, and fun, for example hostages will run away on their own if you don't guard them.

    Very poor. Frankly, the bots suck, and the new CS:Z player models are no improvement on the old CS models. The arctic model was ruined completely! I'll never forgive them.

    I like the remaping. But the BOT with the ridiculous headshots. Got AIMBOT? I can't even imagine what the last set of missions are.

    A potentially great game but it's really just a better version of Counter Strike, with a sad attempt at a singleplayer game. I honestley would give this a 7 but the community for the multiplayer portion of the game is what ruined the first counter strike, and it still remains in this game.

    While the single player campaign is utterly awful (comparable to a poorly thought out amateur mod) as is the single player mode (play regular game against only bots to unlock maps you can already play online, oh boy!), it is a good update for players with older computers or who don't like source. Especially considering the price.

    This game is ok but the only thing good about it is some new graphics. the 1 player mode is a joke because the bots just stand there. overall this game is only good if you really love updated models and guns.

    great graphics, but when teammate follows you it's alaway in front when u shoot or it never shoot unless your dead and then it gets kill, all the time they dont look in all directions.

    Thats a cool game, the normal CS with some nicer graphics, but i still prefer the old 1.6 With the "deleted scenes" you can play a little but the enemies are really dumb. Finnaly you have missions. Like... real "counter-terrorrists". Its good to check it out. BTW Multiplayer is better

I played through some missions and found the AI to be smart, but still glitchy. Graphics...badish. Sound? HAHAHAHAHAH! Overall, this game survives on the same thing "Wii Anything" survives on, fun.

The scripting in some places is missing for example If a tank would break in,your teammates would just sit in the open. If you don't know what to play and wanna shoot something,this game is for you. If you have better games,don't buy it.… Expand

    I think this game was another version of Counter Strike 1.6 . He was some "Missions", because i can't name this campaign a missions, and have some updates on maps, models and everything.

    Altamente innecesario. Si este juego dejará de existir, dudo que alguien se de cuenta. La saga pasa del CS 1.6 al CS Source, y Condition Zero queda perdido en grandes títulos.

    Condition Zero is a dark horse of the franchise. It is not a very innovative game, graphics are average (especially compare to CS Source, which was released shortly after), and shooting mechanics don't change that much from 1.6., but this is the best part of the series if you want singleplayer experience.

    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has always been, for me, the visually improved yet less favored sibling of the original Counter-Strike. While it introduces some new elements like singleplayer with bots, it struggles to compete with the timeless appeal of its predecessor.

However, for    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has always been, for me, the visually improved yet less favored sibling of the original Counter-Strike. While it introduces some new elements like singleplayer with bots, it struggles to compete with the timeless appeal of its predecessor.

    As a die-hard Counter-Strike fan, I've spent countless hours in the original game in my childhood. However, for newcomers, the game's steep learning curve, outdated graphics, and gameplay mechanics might be overwhelming, limiting its appeal to those who cherished it in its prime.

    Despite Valve's attempt to remaster the classic, many players and even the CS pro scene remained loyal to the original. Personally, after revisiting Condition Zero, I appreciate both games but find myself leaning more towards the charm of the original.

    One notable downside of Condition Zero is its considerably smaller player base in comparison to the original, which sometimes makes finding active servers today a challenge, particularly for modes other than Deathmatch.

    As for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes, its attempt to introduce a story-based campaign falls flat for me. Although the gameplay remains true to CS, the lackluster story and uninspiring gameplay make it a disappointing experience compared to the multitude of better mods available in Half-Life.

    In conclusion, if you prefer the enhanced visuals and minor additions in Condition Zero, it's worth giving it a try. However, I can't recommend Counter-Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes as it fails to deliver a satisfying single-player campaign. For those seeking the true essence of Counter-Strike, the original remains the top choice.    … Expand

    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.
