-
GerryMar 28, 2004This is the BIGGEST disapointment ive ever had! condition zero is nothing but cs 1.6 except with fixed maps, it should get a -1

RobC.Apr 6, 2004Just sold me 1.6 with skins for 30$ , what a waist of money, nothing new here, bots are a free dl maps are too, still not sure what i bought.
-
-
AndyL.May 4, 2004The result of a brilliant mod (best ever?) degenerated iby commercialism. CS is all about multiplayer, always has and always will be.

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.

-
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.

MeuhD.Oct 11, 2006I just hate laggers but the game is so good.
-
-
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.

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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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......
-
-
SondreW.Oct 7, 2006A great game, better graphic than CS 1.6
-
-
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.
-
-
MichaelP.Mar 25, 2006This 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!!!
-
-
omgpwnedMar 25, 2006I love this game it has more skins better game play and much improved graphics.
-
-
chemela.May 11, 2006securit game is poor, many hacker change a lots of configuration. Many people stop play CS and CZ becouse hackers are no stoped. But the game ?? 10 10 10 hackers 0 0 0 = 8
-
-
BobG.May 10, 2006Condition 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.
-
-
OinD.May 12, 2006Well, 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
-
-
PatrickS.May 13, 2006In *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.
-
-
OmarE.May 16, 2006i love this game, in this game you can play lots of other games lik Warcraft and superheros.
-
-
RyanM.May 17, 2006if you would vote cs 1.6 a 9 or 10 than this is no diffrent its the same and more.
-
-
LuisS.May 17, 2006Two 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.
-
-
JulianD.May 19, 2006This Game is MUCH more better than CS:S ! better game play better aiming better hitbox!
-
-
GwanF.May 21, 2006this game is just so damn addictive! been playing it every day since it came out! much better than source and 1.6!
-
-
SørenK.May 21, 2006I got all the counter strike games but i think this is the best (my computer is too slow to run source perfect.
-
-
KitrikH.May 21, 2006Very good game, im my opinion as far as gameplay and registry issues...best counter-strike game yet.
-
-
WinE.May 21, 2006Very 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.
-
-
MiyuH.May 22, 2006That is absurd! This game was wonderful. I don't understand why "you people" think this is a big dissapointment. This has outstanding graphics, and the gameplay is awesome. So, I give it a 10.
-
-
AwinS.May 22, 2006Superb tactical game with satisfying graphics and a good gameplay.
-
-
JerryL.May 22, 2006Single player was ok and my deserve some of the negative responses. It's the online play that I give it a 9, this is what CS 1.3 should have become when STEAM hit. Better netcode, better graphics and better maps than 1.6. It also has better feel than source.
-
-
JosephI.May 23, 2006Its awesome, A great follow up from CS 1.6! I personally prefer it to source!
-
-
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.
-
-
KevinV.May 29, 2006good game for on line gaming ideal way to learn how to game.
-
-
NormanL.May 6, 2006This game is fun. The only down fall is the hostages dont follow you right a way. So be good in fighting. When you have to kills a terroist with a knife it sometimes works .other than that it is a challenging game. And fun to pass all the levels.
-
-
JohannesT.May 6, 2006Really nice grafic and a GREAT gameplay at all and by the way u can mmet new people there and join clans, just a really cool game.

SeanM.May 7, 2006near perfect and hours of interesting fun and gameplay.
-
-
DanB.May 8, 2006This is a great game for anyone who loves a good First Person Shooter. It combines the hl engine and is good graphicly and doesnt have have steep requirements i recomend this game to any hardcore cs 1.6 player or cs:s player.
-
-
DanielBauchmanMay 8, 2006i love this game...i have been playing it for 1 year and its still my favorite game!!! honestly people say its not as good as 1.6 but honestly why wouldnt it be?? think of it this way....better graphics......and just better overall gameplay...anyone who says its not a good game obviously isnt a true gamer :D
-
-
KrickeTRMay 9, 2006Condition Zero is the best out of all steam games, ... valve did a good job, ... (or whoever made it), ... i am waiting for a CZ2.0 or something! -Kr1ck3T
-
-
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.
-
-
TylerB.Jun 28, 2006This is truly one of the best games i have ever played.Its a simple idea made into a great game.
-
-
DdavidG.Jun 5, 2006ALot better than css but 1.6 still beats them all.
-
-
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.
-
-
GregH.Jul 10, 2006
-
-
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.
-
-
ScottB.Jul 22, 2006Graphics are better than CS graphs, Physic is better too. Grenades are not doing damage through walls at last.
-
-
RoyL.Jul 27, 2006This Game owns man its mutch better then the 1.6 version cant get it why they give a 6.5.
-
-
TiagoR.Jul 28, 2006Nice game to learn playing CS.
-
-
DueroHeadshotAug 10, 2006Greatly improved compared to the previouse cs. More soft and better aims to weapons. The old one was more static. ^_^
-
-
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.
-
-
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!
-
-
DAveL.Aug 4, 2006Quality game, cannot stop playing. Online mode is just awesome.
-

PatrickB.Sep 6, 2006Awesome game. Way better than the original Counter Strike, and I like it even better than Counter Strike: Source.
-
-
AdamB.Sep 7, 2006Overall, its a good game, but if the graphics were updated to almost-source level, then it would be a 10

MaheoF.Jan 21, 2007A very beautiful old game with a big community in France. Play this game!

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.
-
-
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.
-
-
JosD.Oct 27, 2007I love it, I don't have source so I think its the best one of cs I have... (of course is source better..)
-
-
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!
-
-
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 !!!!
-
-
JayM.Mar 24, 2007This is better then original CS least the weapons and maps are finally balanced.
-
-
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".
-
-
WilliamF.May 1, 2007Great game, its like cs 1.6 just better graphics and a bit easier
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
FredG.Sep 25, 2007This is an awsome game to get into it has lots of levels, bots, modes, and mainly missions.
-
-
SandwichJan 13, 2008I my self never played CS before this game, it's a good entry point into the series, I don't think it's much of a necessity if you already have CS or CS:S. all we can wait for now is CS:SCZ
-
-
ProximalP.Jan 16, 2008before I got this game I did not even know about cs. I played with 1.6 and cz when I got the game I found cz to be better with the size of nades and such. over all this is the best fps game I have played.
-
-
JohnP.Jun 9, 2008Would not recommend anyone to play this game. The gameplay is worse than Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike. Condition Zero was a waste of money and time to make.
-
-
MatthewM.Jul 12, 2008Excellent first person shooter.
-
-
XXXJul 6, 2008Very nice game, way better graphic than CS.. CS:S is really a buy that u wont be disappointed.
-
-
BlaskeA.Jul 8, 2008The best CS 1.6 Mod ever. This game is perfect... the Mission mod (deleted Scenes) Rlz, Souce sucks near CZ.

EpicBaDyJul 28, 2009It's one of the worst games i have ever played, it gets bored too fast.. I play CS online for about 6 years and i enjoy it, so where is the problem? the answer - single player :) it can be played just by the people, who haven't got internet connection...
-
-
JohnSAug 18, 2009The game is highly playable and is very high detail for people using older and slower computers
-
-
RAJIVCAug 28, 2009It has bots. very entertaining to play, Sharpens you skills which otherwise would have not been noticed.
-
-
KaineL.Oct 22, 2003Counter strike is the best game ever invented for multi player but i dont know about this new one.
-
-
GlennL.Feb 28, 2004The only thing this is good for would be a frizzbie,,, game sucks big time over rated bit of garbage !
-
-
JoshS.Aug 29, 2004This game is ok but the only thing good about it is some new graphics. the 1 player mode is a joke because the bots just stand there. overall this game is only good if you really love updated models and guns.
-
-
TimothyY.Nov 21, 2006The only Counter strike game that has a sound track and single player missions. DAM FUN TO PLAY! I love it!
-
-
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.
-
-
SeanB.Dec 27, 2006I think czero is a very good game and the addition of Bots was a great advantage.
-
-
JoeB.Dec 31, 2006
-
-
MartinL.Apr 11, 2006I thought it was pretty cool, it's like playing a re-released Gameboy game that you once had, but lost when you moved house for the 18th time, and with nicer textures. Why are people complaining so much? It's just a bit of fun, moody gits!
-
-
PatG.May 12, 2006With the mods u can get for this game, its amazing, plus u can create ur own missions if u want.. this is a single player game basically and the score is not based on the multiplayer aspect of the game.. just the great single player action, and with tonystrike or something like that... wow! thanks valve!
-
-
ReeceN.May 13, 2006Online gaming is taking to the max... updated graphics and models from 1.6 but keeps the great gameplay that will keep you hooked for hours on end.
-
-
RichardR.May 13, 2006Wicked game ive been playing it from the day it came out and have never got bored once! :-)
-
-
BrianD.May 14, 2006it was terrible. its counterstrike offline. the internet was the ebst feature of counter strike. withtout it its useless.
-
-
JaredT.May 17, 2006
-
-
JonathanW.May 21, 2006This has a very good Single player RP part. Could make stuff like noise, more realistic (Breaking open a lock (very loud) with a little wall in the way, and the enemy not noticing).

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.
