    Really 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.

    It'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.

    True 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.

    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.

    This 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!

    This game was not purposely made to be a half life 2 or halo game that everyone loves. The original cs was a mod with poor graphics but great gameplay. This game was designed to enhance those graphics and sounds to partial pc standards so if people do not like cs source and want to stick with classic gameplay, they do not have to go all the way back to classic half life graphics.

I personally prefer this game over cs source becuase it seems quicker paced and the crosshair does not takes much less time to settle then in css. Also it is much easier to run this game on a slow internet then css.… Expand

    Even 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.

    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.

    It'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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Excellent 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.

    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.
