    I have never played a game as good as Counter Strike and I never will (except maybe Counter Strike:Source). The Counter Strike series overall has been the best and will remain the best and most played game in the world.

    I've been playing this game for 5 years along with thousands, maybe even millions of other people. It's the only game where people make true friends in real life because of the Lan Tournaments. Greatest game to date.

    counter strike is a game that teaches you how to use your eyes to there full potential. You must be a fast thinker and good at stratigic thought. I have NEVER enjoyed a game as much as i do with cs.

    Effing awesome. It would be better if the servers werren't crawling with hackers. Maybe if it wasn't so hacker-friendly. Other than that. Amazing.

    Wonderfull game, allthough I would rather give it 9.6 for it's lack of reality - and Also the incredibly foul design of the weapons, most rifles and pistols are wrongmade in the design!

    Although old and basic this game is the most unique of all first person shooter games and has many hooked for life!

    A brilliant game. Most enjoyable game around, 6 YEARS after its release. Beats the like of Battlefield 2, and other leading online games HANDS DOWN.

    one of my all time favorites. the grafics may be out of date, but its still fun to play it. are there any other games that have survived over the years? speaking of quake 2, serious sam? non of them has this attention world wide. and the best on that game...cheap and you dont need a high end pc as you will need for doom3, utk7 or other games these days. a perfect 10 for me.

    This is without a doubt the best game ever! I drive a Big Rig in real life, and so I know what I'm saying when I say that Big Rigs Over the Road Racing is the most realistic truck game ever. It's realer than real it's so real! Buy as many copies of this game as you can, it's the most perfectly WINNER game ever!

    It's good. It used to be better, however. It has this quirkiness that makes me laugh very very audably. But, those who take it seriously need some help.

    It combines the best of team based gaming with an authentic and therefore exciting approach to tactical ops.
  3. The core of the game is remarkable.
