    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 quite enjoy the concept of a single player experience in Counter Strike, and i enjoy Condition Zero. Its not a mind-blowing adaptation to the series, but its fun for people who are looking for a more casual, solitary, Counter Strike experience.

    This is my Favorite game nice game weapon from 1.6 well the map is trully normal thats fine i like de dust,de italy,de aztec but the hard in this is a bot because bot didnt help us to defuse the and always says "its all up to you sir its all up to you" but if we died the bot Forgot the Defusal Kit well its interesting if play this game or 1.6

    This game is pretty fun to play may not be the same as the original but still its something. Plus you can do offline missions with bots so if your internet is down and you want to play counter strike offline to fill the time condition zero is for you.

    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.

This was essentially a single player DLC for Counter: Strike but the AI was terrible. Sometimes a bot would stand in front of another bot and not even shoot for multiple seconds, despite both of the bots being completely still. I did not have any fun with this game

    I loved this game, but the story mode can be boring sometimes. I'm glad I got it.

    Not as good as the original and the story mode is very dull. A nice update for the hardcore fans but not much else here. I don't think anyone but the hardcore really got into this one.

    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.

    Yeah, I don't get the point of this.. Lets have a really poor storyline and tack it onto the most popular multiplayer shooter at the time and then make it single player.... er... What were you thinking. If you want single player counterstrike grab the bots. If there had been a really good storyline attached I could have seen a reason for the release of this.

    i think this game is a very big upgrade to the old 1.6 version yet is does lack more map's than 1.6 i still think this game is 10 step's ahead of 1.6 with the graphics upgrades the buy menu upgrades (without useing script which i think is hacking) is nice i think the game all around is very very solid.

    This game is super buggy. I bought it for an older 1.6ghz dell. No problems with any games until I got this. I was one fo the people with the famous mouse won't work right and is eratic problems. Something they still havn't fixed. I can play this on my newer comp but still the older one same problems and none with any other game. Reformatted just no go. 1.6 works fineThis game is super buggy.

Anyway I'm pretty dissapointed in valvles idea of gaming. Seems more like a money venture to rip us off from our trust b4 steam bought out CS.… Expand

    I can't complain I got the game well the serial number only from K-Mart for $4.01 because the discs had been lost. Thank you steam for making lost discs or destroyed data no problem when installing, just had to add my new serial to my account and there you go the cheapest copy of Condition zero ever.

    Well die hard counter strike 1.6 players will be amazed to play this game . I think it is awesome and fills up all the missing parts of 1.6. The graphics, the sound and everything about the game is amazing. Everyone should try it.

    It's a shame it never got the support of the community, after bugfixes it's big improvement from 1.6(which people forget to this day is as buggy as it was 7 years ago), it provides better gameplay than css and less demanding grafix aswell

    i dont understand how normal counter strike has a better rating because this 1 has bots so you can play alone and it has a game where you pick ur teams depending on points and stuff so i think that counter strike condition zero would get much better results.

    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.

    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.
