LorenzoS.Oct 22, 2007Best online gaming, new maps downloads, clan recruitment,everything u need to have fun with a group of people. so what if single player is the same as 1.6. just an all around fun game.
-
-
TurakA.Oct 13, 2007the game does have a bit better graphics than 1.6. it is actually more addicting than 1.6. its also a bit easier than 1.6. the overall physics is different, the guns are easier to shoot with and kill. thats why i like it more lol! althought going back and forth from 1.6 to cz makes u better somehow. cz is deffinetely best out of css and 1.6.

HenrikOct 5, 2007Simply one of the best games ever made. Includes the well-known interface and controlling from CS 1.6 with improved grapics and online play, as well as a great single player mode (deleted scenes). Awesome!
-
-
FredG.Sep 25, 2007This is an awsome game to get into it has lots of levels, bots, modes, and mainly missions.
-
-
J.H.Aug 30, 2007Aged graphics but solid gameplay plus bots that learn fromn you.
-
-
WayneW.Jul 28, 2007I thouroughly enjoyed the game. Games aren't just about high end graphics. This was a fun game even though it's not as epic as HL, and I didn't have to listen to foul language (Counter-Strike) with the online kids. Very enjoyable.
-
-
TomB.Jul 21, 2007This is a GREAT improvement to CS 1.6 and has alot of extra features also the nav files are so complex they give the other bots a kick in the butt. Don't care what the critics said, they're thick.
-
-
MikeS.Jul 15, 2007Simply 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.
-
-
EricC.Jul 4, 2007This game is way under-rated, this game is one of my favorite games and is probably one of the best single player games ever. Who cares what the critics say they obviusly don't know Sh1t. Screw you Critics, this game is the best of the best at the time it was created!
-
-
WesleyC.Jun 30, 2007I say I was surprised by it! This was what I've always wanted! A counter strike style with a story in the middle. The graphics are not too good for some reason... But it's all about the gameplay right?
-
-
MikeR.Jun 27, 2007While 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.
-
-
V-ManJun 26, 2007A 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.
-
-
WesleyV.Jun 20, 2007Very nice game
-
-
AlexH.Jun 16, 2007This game is better than source, and the graphics are ok. The game itself isn't very realistic, but the custom game option is the best. Online is great, and their are a lot of cool servers to join.
-
-
JamesR.Jun 14, 20073 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.
-
-
AaronH.May 31, 2007Its amazing with almost no faults in the game. Its graphically better than the original and plays a lot faster and smoother. Its only fair to give the game top marks.
-

AlexPachyMay 29, 2007no puedo jugar onlinne alguien me puede ayudar.le doy a servidores y me kiero unir a unapartida y me dice el servidor no responde y me salta directo a una pagina dondem e sale el precio de un pakete del counter strike y asi en todos.K alguien me diga como puedo jugar gracias
-
-
RohanC.May 3, 2007I find this the best CS of all of them. cs1.6 is good so if you already have that don't bother This is best for joe average because in CS source all the difference is lower FPS and longer load times.
-
-
WilliamF.May 1, 2007Great game, its like cs 1.6 just better graphics and a bit easier
-
-
DanielB.Apr 27, 2007This is the best for beginner players in training!!!
-
-
chrism.Apr 22, 2007SOOOO much better than 1.6 or source. source is only good for graphics ans 1.6 sucks all together, no reg and sounds suck. CZ much better

PeteL.Mar 26, 2007I love this game not only because of the bots, but because it's a great place to test my maps, without complaints. I build maps for CS and this is where I test my maps, to see how playable it is, rather than playing online and people saying "dust plz".
-
-
JayM.Mar 24, 2007This is better then original CS least the weapons and maps are finally balanced.
-
-
ThomasSørensenMar 23, 2007I think it's the absolut best cs game ever, because the sounds are much much better than in all the others. You can also have fun with the bots and that's cool that the bot intelligence has reached this far. 10 times 10 - or like the public would say it, - it R0xx0r !!!!
-
-
PeteP.Mar 17, 2007This game is awesome...just the little things like the ledge on the door on Italy make this game a great update to the Counterstrike world!
-
-
TecoP.Mar 10, 2007I like CS, many people in many places in my country play this game. Simple and fantastic.

johnwohlersFeb 2, 2007Das Game ist besser als 1.6 !! Nicht nur neue Models sondern auch Neue Waffen skins echt cool.

MikeP.Jan 23, 2007It's an awesome fun game, I like the fact that people can make there own custom maps like surf maps, fy maps, de maps, etc... It's got good graphics, new gameplay and an overall good game and its enjoyable.
-
-
lUKEF.Jan 22, 2007I like the remaping. But the BOT with the ridiculous headshots. Got AIMBOT? I can't even imagine what the last set of missions are.
-
-
MaheoF.Jan 21, 2007A very beautiful old game with a big community in France. Play this game!
-
-
StephenC.Jan 20, 2007This game has to be the best first person shooter since the original, it by-passed 1.6 and added some features that set the game apart from others.

fughellscreamJan 2, 2007all cs are good i have all , source , 1.6 , cz ... i play all cuz they are different ... the gameplay is different too ... we can be good in 1.6 and bad in cz thats why the geeks of 1.6 says "cz is for n00bs" ... tri it and play for fun

SeanB.Dec 27, 2006I think czero is a very good game and the addition of Bots was a great advantage.
-
-
DominicA.Dec 26, 2006Excellent game. For those who dont want to go to source, or cant go to source. It's also an upgrade from CS1.6 better skins, and from the way it seems registry is higher, and it's also easier to tell CT's from T's apart from my personal experience.
-
-
MakuraH.Nov 29, 2006Aside from going practically insane online with people I just dont even understand could get so good, I love to play online, as well as with the bots. the bots are definitly a step up, as you can play any level you want. there is downloadables such as skins that can also improve the game a bit, and map downloads, so even if the base game werent as good as it is, it could be made even better.
-
-
TimothyY.Nov 21, 2006The only Counter strike game that has a sound track and single player missions. DAM FUN TO PLAY! I love it!
-
-
ChrisNov 19, 2006Counter-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.
-
-
WilliamH.Nov 17, 2006From all the fps games I got for my PC this is one of the most addicting I have ever played. With a group of friends the fun never ends when getting the bragging rights.

NathanP.Nov 9, 2006This game is addicting thats why I like it so much. Its cool when you sit down to play then you look up and like 3 hrs have passed.

JesseJ.Oct 29, 2006I personally enjoy CZ more then 1.6. The new graphics and new maps added put a whole new twist on the greatest FPS around.
-
-
DaveA.Oct 18, 2006Great game, when purchased with the Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, this game is excellent, a perfect mix between 1.6 and CS:S. Brilliant single player campaign.
-
-
WilliamC.Oct 17, 2006Good Game, better than 1.6. This game is, in my opinion, easier than 1.6 because the recoil is slighty easier to handle, and the graphics have been increased a bit.
-
-
MeuhD.Oct 11, 2006I just hate laggers but the game is so good.
-
-
EliasO.Oct 8, 2006This 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.
-
-
SondreW.Oct 7, 2006A great game, better graphic than CS 1.6
-
-
LukeM.Oct 3, 2006Whats so good about it to CS 1.6 nothing FUN about it! Not much people play it in some places and 1.6 is MORE POPULAR! Just becase of the better graphics you would want to play a boring game!! 1.6 or source is way better!!!!! and u cant say CZ is better then CSS all I can say is if you think CZ is better then CSS: Sad Sad Sad......
-
-
PekK.Sep 30, 2006Its not just a mini upgrade from 1.6 its much more than that. Besides the graphics is better and also good for the eyesight. I enjoy this game leveling to source.
-
-
JonathanB.Sep 29, 2006Better then cs 1.6.
-
-
JoeC.Sep 24, 2006I LOVE this game. I like it a lot better then 1.6. It has all the features of 1.6, plus at lot more. I enjoy this game more then Source.

LionelB.Sep 16, 2006It's a very good game to spend time and also is cheaper than other ones. I like this game because is easy to play.
-
-
AdamB.Sep 7, 2006Overall, its a good game, but if the graphics were updated to almost-source level, then it would be a 10
-
-
PatrickB.Sep 6, 2006Awesome game. Way better than the original Counter Strike, and I like it even better than Counter Strike: Source.
-
-
RyanF.Aug 22, 2006I love this game...older computers can run it with improved models and gun looks a lot more real...if you can't run source! this is the game for you to run!
-
-
DavidC.Aug 19, 2006Even over 3 years later the grafics are still great and the AI is as foritable enemies and team mate for even the most hard core of players.
-

MeAug 17, 2006Cool.

RichardC.Aug 13, 2006This game rocks! The high amount of weapons to choose from and many exciting maps is great fun! My favourite map is cs_office, just like most of my other friends. I'm glad this game got a high rating; it deserves one!

-
TeeT.Aug 11, 2006great 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.
-
-
DueroHeadshotAug 10, 2006Greatly improved compared to the previouse cs. More soft and better aims to weapons. The old one was more static. ^_^
-
-
TipsayS.Aug 7, 2006This game is defitiely a classic though it has its flaws they are quickly over looked in the awesome gameplay.
-
-
DAveL.Aug 4, 2006Quality game, cannot stop playing. Online mode is just awesome.
-
-
DavidT.Aug 3, 2006This game is superior to 1.6 due to its better graphics, and beats Source because of better gameplay. It is a merger of everything good in the CS world.
-
-
RaceA.Aug 3, 2006coo game lot of great maps sorry bout the cheaters dough they ruin it for fair players overall great game.
-
-
RipperB.Aug 2, 2006this game is a ten a classic for all time. This is what every first person shooter should be at least roughly modeled after.
-
-
JustinM.Jul 31, 2006good dame for 2004 and how this got a 8.9 as of today is retarted...I think it deserves a 10
-
-
AdamA.Jul 31, 2006True test of team strategy and skill. Combined with versatility of games (i.e. fy, fun, he to name a few) blows all other games like this out of the water.
-
-
TiagoR.Jul 28, 2006Nice game to learn playing CS.
-
-
RoyL.Jul 27, 2006This Game owns man its mutch better then the 1.6 version cant get it why they give a 6.5.
-
-
ScottB.Jul 22, 2006Graphics are better than CS graphs, Physic is better too. Grenades are not doing damage through walls at last.
-
-
AlS.Jul 19, 2006takes a long time to get good and you run into a lot of jerks online but when you take the time and find a good server and some nice people to play against it really is like no other game.
-
-
GaryC.Jul 15, 2006Sure this is nothing more than an update for CS but it fixes a large number of problems the original had and updated the look and feel of the game. Sure there are better looking games out there but this is all about how well it plays.
-

GregH.Jul 10, 2006

-
CarstenJ.Jul 3, 2006The Graphic is not the best, the weapon- and model skins are nice and its easy to shot headys !!! But many bugs and always the cheater.
-
-
JensenG.Jul 1, 2006it is better graphics then 1.6 and not one billion headshots like source, this is the absolute combo for those wanting better looks and less cheap shots through walls.
-
-
FrederickS.Jun 30, 2006The 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.
-
-
TylerB.Jun 28, 2006This is truly one of the best games i have ever played.Its a simple idea made into a great game.
-
-
ChrisS.Jun 26, 2006It's nice to have a multi player game that has inteligent bots so that it can be played single player. The bots A.I. is nicely done.
-
-
DesmonK.Jun 25, 2006Really quite good. The difference between 1.6 and Condition Zero is quite large in the fact that the details are much more realistic. For example, the blood splatters realistically on walls and the floor, and the graphics are much better.
-
-
AndrewO.Jun 21, 2006Counter Strike has consumed my life since 1999 and still does to this day, and Condition Zero Is one of the best things to happen to it.
-
-
JoeM.Jun 20, 2006I love condition zero, theres much less hackers than there is in 1.6 and a special feel about it thats cool.
-
-
BrandonC.Jun 14, 2006this game is really cool. way better than the first.
-
-
NickM.Jun 13, 2006Condition zero is way better then 1.6 and source i started at source and i played it for a year then got wanted to try out 1.6 and cz and i bought anothology and now i play cz all the time.
-
-
EricO.Jun 8, 2006Great addicting game, love the gameplay and graphics are outstanding. "Best game ever made"
-
-
JamesC.Jun 8, 2006Nice Game. Better Graphics Than 1.6 Love The Multi Player!
-
-
DdavidG.Jun 5, 2006ALot better than css but 1.6 still beats them all.
-
-
EarlG.Jun 2, 2006The best version of CS there is- harder than CS:S with its dodgy run and better graphics than 1.6- its the best there is.
-
-
AaronL.Jun 2, 2006it's...counter strike, what else can i say. people or group that under-rate probably was never a counter strike player before, cz provides better graphics and models than the original 1.6 and yet a smooth game play even for players with a less decent computer, afterall, it's counter strike, how can you under-rate it!?
-
-
KevinV.May 29, 2006good game for on line gaming ideal way to learn how to game.
-
-
JoeK.May 26, 2006GREAT GAME!
-
-
MatthewP.May 24, 2006Awesome everything and ever server has different new things constantly, hella fun!
-
-
PaulM.May 23, 2006this game has been so under-rated.. its CS1.7 in my opinion and how the game SHOULD be. The only this that let it down was the fact you had to pay for it, thats all.. all the CS1.6 gamers should wise up to out dated version of CS and play CZ, so much better.
-
-
JosephI.May 23, 2006Its awesome, A great follow up from CS 1.6! I personally prefer it to source!

Game InformerThe 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.
