    This is a very fantastic ego-shooter. The graphics is super and it is the best cs after cs 1.6 so keep on playing.

    I give it a 9 because it has great graphics and is great to play...though every now and then its got problems but the world isnt perfect, and for ppl that complaine about hacking....it has pretty good protection because I hacked once and they banned my cd key to Half-Life 2 so I had to buy a whole new one...and this has happend to my freinds too.

    I'm playing Counter-Strike since 1.5 version, I love this game and I must say that Counter-Strike: Source is certainly the best of all CS versions. Nice job Sierra!

    It was disgusting to see that a game like counter strike was given such a low rank when I think its fair to say almost every gamer in the world has been hooked on the game.

    I have played Counter Strike ever since I was young and I have to say this one was by far the best, well with increasing technology it's eneditable that it would be, allthough I do think for the technicle eara we are at the moment I think the graphics could be better, but that is my only complaint, but this game is truley amazing a total 9/10!

    This game is awesome. Its physics are great and its cool how the grenades send em flying the blood is cool and how the dont go through the walls but sluch angainst them is great. If only Counter Strike Condition Zero had these graphics and physics it would be great! Keep up the great work Valve!

    This is one of the greatest games ever. If there were only 2 games ever developed they would have to be Counter Strike Source and Day of Defeat Source.

    This game is the most addicting game I have ever encountered. Beware before playing it for the 1st time because you will not be able to stop.

    GREAT Game... not many games wow me like this game did. I can't wait till they make upgrade for it. I am 100% sure it will be 10x better. Valve has not let me down yet and I know for a fact they would let you down!

    Games of this quality usually are pay to play. I hope they continue to make top of the line software and keep just the way it is. They constantly come out with upgrades and additions to their games, making somthing already awesome, even better!

    The best computer game engine ever made. People who rate this game low lack what is needed to fairly judge the game.

    Still the best online gaming experience going. The graphics still look top notch, even compared to todys latest FPS shooters. The game itself might be a bit repetetive but it's so addictive you'll have to try and plant that bomb or recscue the hostages one more time.

    The game looks more beautiful than ever, with structures that feel weighty and solid and little visual touches throughout. The flash-bangs look fantastic.
  2. Valve has done a sterling job of moving a flagship franchise over to a new engine. Whilst the gameplay guts come over correct and intact, (which may disappoint some), Counter-Strike: Source is an even more engrossing and captivating experience, capable of sapping hours of your time, and even the worst "1337 g33zers" abusing voice chat can't spoil the fun you'll have with it.
  3. Counter-Strike: Source is, once you've gained a knack for it, the most consistently rewarding and surprising team-based shoot-'em-up available on the PC today. It's been dressed up nicely for its relaunch in 2004, but it wasn't broken, and Valve hasn't fixed it.
