    This is the BIGGEST disapointment ive ever had! condition zero is nothing but cs 1.6 except with fixed maps, it should get a -1

    The Unreal Tournament style single player is a CS fan's dream come true - play your favourate maps with critically acclaimed A.I. bots (plus new unique goals for each map) and customize a scenario to your liking (e.g. Militia with hard bots only using Shotguns and all bots join CTs while you are the sole T protecting the hostages with a sniper gun). I simply cannot comprehend how The Unreal Tournament style single player is a CS fan's dream come true - play your favourate maps with critically acclaimed A.I. bots (plus new unique goals for each map) and customize a scenario to your liking (e.g. Militia with hard bots only using Shotguns and all bots join CTs while you are the sole T protecting the hostages with a sniper gun). I simply cannot comprehend how some CS fans do not like this game -the top-quality bots and customizabiltiy make this my top game of the year! It only failed to get a 10 by my ranking because of the poor "deleted scenes" part (and calling it "deleted scenes" does not prevent it from bringing the rating down -its still part of the game and part of the marketing for the game!… Expand

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

    From 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.

    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.

    I'm a Counter Strike junkie and this game was absolutely perfect for me. It was awhile before I got Source, so CZ kept me busy. I love the fact that the hostages are smart (sort of) enough to run away, animations have been improved and a slight improvement in graphics that have been added. Forget the low scores that some critics gave this game. I love it, and it's the CS I'm a Counter Strike junkie and this game was absolutely perfect for me.

    Aside 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.

    Great 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.

    I personally enjoy CZ more then 1.6. The new graphics and new maps added put a whole new twist on the greatest FPS around.

    Whats 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......

    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.

    This game proves that Counter Strike owns practically everygame and single player mode and deleted scenes modes keep the action coming. No other counter strike offers instant action, single player, scenario modes 10!!!

    Condition Zero is the best of all Counter Strike series CS 1.6 has too many hackers CS:S is way too easy So Condition Zero is well balanced.

    Well, its a pretty neat game. Adding the mission mode was a great idea, but its not the real 1.6 feeling. Both graphicaly and playability is enhanced, wich is great. It's a great game from a great producer

    In *my* opinion, this is a more balanced game than CS 1.6, and it has bots... I don't understand why others feel the need to bag it. I have Source and obviously 1.6, but I still prefer to play CZ online.

    Two things aside from the game play that I love about this game. 1 You don't need the frakin CD in the drive to play, 2 You buy the game and play online for free. STEAM is a great tool.

    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.

    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.
