    Best 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.

    the 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.

    Simply 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!

    I 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.

    This 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.

    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.

    This 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!

    I 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?

    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.

    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.

    This 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.

    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.

    Its 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.

    I 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.

    I love Condition Zero, I have every Version of Counter strike ever made, including Source. And i have to say, this is the best version of the 3. The bots are smarter then the ones in Source, the graphics are better then 1.6. I also like the fact that it can be played on older machines. I wasn't able to play any detailed maps in CS:source because my PC wasn't good enough. Get I love Condition Zero, I have every Version of Counter strike ever made, including Source.

    I 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".

    I 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 !!!!

    Counter Strike CZ should be considered as an upgrade to the the original counter strike, or even the prelude to source. Many maps have been changed and look a lot better (especially inferno). However, I would say that CZ is geared towards players who don't a fast internet connection, or lan a lot, since there is a wide emphasis on bots.

There is 1 new playable class for the Terrorist and Counter Terrorist units. Bots can be selected pre-server startup. As a note, lower end pc's will have to turn details, fog, and the tutor off to enjoy this experience. Recommended: 256mb PCI (Doesn't have to be express) card, & 512mb of free memory, especially if you run anti-virus (aka norton or avg) in the background.… 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.
