    A nice new edition to the CS franchise. Although it may never live up to CSS, it's a nice game that will keep you entertained for a long time. If you have CSS, there may be no point in buying the game because there are not many differences.

    Great FPS game that takes a lot of skill to master but the reward is fantastic. Killing another player is so satisfying because you know you have to work for every kill. Highly recommended.

    First off lol at the guy trying to compare this with a COD game. Great throw back to the day. Game is just as fun as was back then. This is such a great team game. It doesn't play well with a bunch of random players so if you don't have a few friends to team up with try just playing bots. Fully customizable controls is what every game should have. Well worth $15

    What can I say? It's the same game, with better graphics. Though they seemed to get rid of some of the physics, like shooting around barrels. Xbox360 version runs consistently smooth, no spikes in FPS and rubberbanding.

    Very very good game. Great for the price and and very good port. of course there isn't that feeling of of the pc and being able to pull off a headshot as easily but very good and addictive game. and finally comparing skill not by levels and how many times one prestiges or levels up.

    Great game in my opinion. I am not a PC gamer, I am all about consoles, and I have missed playing Counter Strike all these years, so if you aren't a PC gamer or don't have a PC and all and play all your games on consoles, this is your best chance to experience the grand daddy of Call of Duty. It is done right, too bad it took this long to reach us - !

    The nostalgia is what does it for me. This is what started it all folks and it's spot on for consoles.

    The game brings back all the old maps with some graphical updates and minor changes, taking into account player habits from previous iterations. There are new maps for the newer game modes and all in all the package feels complete. It certainly is not the outright sequel that some will be looking for but it offers up plenty for the 1200 point price tag. The familiar guns are back along with a variety of gadgets to assist you in your goals.

    As for the gameplay itself: point, shoot, kill. It's as simple as that. The game is heavily dependent upon your accurate shooting and doesn't step in to assist you with auto aimining or provide any gadgets to reduces gun climb. This makes the learning curve steep, the challenge tough, but the satisfaction of getting a kill all the more rewarding knowing that you can accredit it to your skill and the victim can accept defeat in being out shot. Mouse and keyboard this isn't but the ontrols feel tight and there is a variety of customisations available to tinker with until you feel comfortable.

    The multiplayer is as unforgiving as you remember it, although take comfort in the knowledge that you are playing against other console users and not the scores of infinitely skilled players on the pc counterpart. This levels the playing field somewhat and provides a suitably difficult challenge without leaving you feeling hapless and out of your depth.

    In short, if you like the frantic nature of call of duty or the destructible nature of battlefield this might not be for you. However, if you fancy testing your naked fps skill against others in a tactical, tense and challenging environment then look no further.    … Expand

    This game is fun over XBOX Live. If you're the type of person who likes to play online with buddies, this one will be a hit for you I think. Great graphics and sound. Great team-based game play. Longtime fans of Counterstrike will be very pleased. If you're a strictly solo gamer, this isn't for you. This game is all about teamwork and co-op and playing online and competing.

    But seriously, this game rocks. It's a strictly online competitive multiplayer shooter but you can still play offline with bots if you so desire and if there aren't enough online players in a lobby, bots will fill in until a human player joins the party and assumes their role -- like the matrix, kinda... Anyway, the primary mode I played involved 5v5 with terrorists attempting to arm the bomb and counter-terrorists attempting to kill all the terrorists or disarm the bomb once it's armed. (But there are 4 modes in total) If the bomb is armed and the terrorists are all dead, the counter-terrorists still need to deactivate the bomb. Each player only has one life with no regenerating health, which adds to the tension and at the beginning of each round, every player is given money to spend on various weapons and grenades. Depending on how well you did in the previous round, you can accumulate money, of which you can spend strategically. This type of shooter was pre-Call of Duty, so there is no looking down the iron sites, except for a few weapons with scopes such as various rifles. But for the most part, this a primarily close-quarters to mid-range classic tactical shooter. One wrong move, and a head shot can take you down in an instant. There's no leveling system, but that seems to be for the better. Though, there is still a ton of statistic and achievement/award tracking. Every player starts off on an even keel and what keeps you coming back to the game is exactly that, enjoying the actual game, and not strictly the idea of progression. It's bloody and there's no canned death animations. Counter-Strike: GO uses hilarious and very realistic rag doll physics when you die which really adds to the satisfaction of getting that last second head shot. Overall, this game is definitely worth much more than the 15$ you will pay for it and assuming, as a console gamer, you've never played Counter-Strike: Source before, this game is a new experience that you've been waiting for and need to experience.

    Note to people new to counter strike, you can jump to CS:GO without playing previous games. CS: GO and previous games biggest achievements are improving flow and dynamics, which even though don't provide any change or innovation from the core game (which is why it distinguishes itself from the rest of the online FPS on the market) improves greatly the player experience. I would call them more of a "major" update more than a sequel, which improves and polishes itself on each instance, in the end making it a different experience. "Story" wise this game has none, which is fine because its not really oriented to a single player/linear experience, think tournament/death match style.    … Expand

The addictive game play remains the same and the simple to play but hard to master gun physics keeps things challenging. And for everyone scoring the game low rubbishing the graphics and controls, stick to spraying and praying on COD.

    Improved gunplay, graphics, sound coupled with new modes and maps make this a really fun and addicting entry to CS. I stopped playing Source because it started to feel a little dated but this has made me want to play CS again. Demolition and Arms Race are very, very fun. The classic maps are also much better balanced while still having that old feel we all love. At $15 this is a steal.

L'altra aggiunta riguarda la Modalità Demolizioni che alla fine non è altro che un mix tra la Classica Competitiva e la Corsa agli armamenti, difatti le squadre saranno le solite della prima modalità ma con solo un obiettivo da difendere/attaccare(le mappe sono più piccole e anguste) e le armi nn si potranno comprare, ma andranno sbloccate tramite kill, in maniera da avere nel turno successivo un'arma più potente(se le kill effettuate epr turno saranno più di una si avrà in 'omaggio' anche una granata), qui di solito gli scontri si svolgono sulla lunghezza dei 20 round.

    Come detto in precedenza dal punto di vista tecnico il gioco soffre senza dubbio la spinta di un motore grafico ormai superato, a volte la collisione tra i personaggi lo fa un po' scattare destando un po' di fastidio. Per quanto riguarda il sonoro è ben fatto e i rumori delle varie armi sono ottimamente riprodotti, molto simpatico anche il crescendo di musica quando su di una mappa si rimane allo Showdown uno contro uno.

    La giocabilità è la caratteristica che la fa da padrona nel gioco creando nel giocatore sentimenti di gioia o frustazione sempre nuovi ad ogni partita, consigliamo vivamente prima di buttarsi nella mischia di usufruire del tutorial Addestramento alle Armi presente nel menu principale e di fare all'inizio qualche partita nella modalità di allenamento offline contro i Bot guidati dalal CPU in maniera da imparare bene le modalità di gioco e soprattutto le mappe. La freneticità del gioco(specie nella modalità Corsa agli Armamenti) difatti non lascia scampo a chi ha poca dimestichezza con i comandi e vi assicuro che prima di diventare dei killer passeranno diverse partite nonostante che siate già piuttosto bravi a COD o Battlefield.

Arms Race is like Gun Game in Call of Duty: Black Ops. You start of with a weapon and work your way through all of the weapons till you have to kill your opponent with the knife. Trying to connect to a online match can take a while now since it just came out but will improve over time. The only thing that is a major bother is the talking in party chat. I know that when you die in a match you can't talk to your teammates. It is just the fact you can only talk on game chat and that you have to change it. Gamers shouldn't be forced to change how they can talk to their friends.

Those who are new to Counter-Strike, I suggest going into the tutorial called Weapons Course to learn how the world Counter- Strikes works. I found the new modes such as arms race similar to CoD: Black ops Gun game where each kill will move you through a list of guns automatically and there is Demolition where you start with a set of weapons and equipment and each kill will move you through another set in the next round. Both modes are great fun but they lack originality. Defuse and hostage modes come back in 2 forms, Causal where some rules are limit free such as friendly fire off while competitive mode has all the standard rules from the Counter-Strike Series.

I would probably rank it as my favourite game of all time. This reboot is serviceable, good for some nostalgic fun, but somehow the magic isn't quite there anymore.

    When I bought this game last year as a download I was so excited to jump back into the memories of 2002. I would sit and game for hours drinking pop with my friends in a cyber-room in the city.

I would sit and game for hours drinking pop with my friends in a cyber-room in the city. When I first started I played for about 2 hours, then I started to get bored without all the mods and the downloadable maps. If it had all the true magnificent additions that made the computer game original great this would have been a greater achievement. It was great for a year but I have now mastered and played over and over every map and game-type you can play. Its a must have for a counter-strike fan but its nothing compared to source. 7 at its best. Haven't played it now in 6 months.… Expand

    I do not have much to say about this disgrace that I spent 30 reais here on Xbox Live Brasil, I thought it would be a really cool game, but in the end it ended up being a complete disappointment, I barely started playing 30 minutes online and I dropped the game because of the worst problem of the console version, the ping, it seems that the servers stay there in Asia (or who knows on Mars)I do not have much to say about this disgrace that I spent 30 reais here on Xbox Live Brasil, I thought it would be a really cool game, but in the end it ended up being a complete disappointment, I barely started playing 30 minutes online and I dropped the game because of the worst problem of the console version, the ping, it seems that the servers stay there in Asia (or who knows on Mars) and it's very outdated (it does not have the M4A1-s, the pistol from the Czech Republic CZ75 and the M8 Revolver) and without having a little player (only the poor mortals that until today have an Xbox 360 that neither I that I am also poor) then, better replace your Xbox 360 by a PC and ready, end of chat… Expand

    If you want a realistic multiplayer shooting game than this is it. It's not a shoot em up like COD, it's a game where you need skill to get multiple kills and win games. Graphics on the 360 are great and the achievements add a lot of replay value to it. If you're a fan of the CS franchise this a must play on X-box Live.

    Pefekt Game. Best Game. There are unfortunately in csgo very many hacker. You also often have to play against them. Unless you play at a third party. Csgo is the best game. Nothing can match Call of Duty and Battlefield can be thrown into the dustbin

    Unlike the PC version, this game is terrible, there is little FPS, the controls are not convenient, the game often caused my xbox 360 to freeze, there are few modes, the game quickly gets boring, you just want to go and turn on the PC version.

    Counter Strike: Global Offensive is great, don’t get me wrong. But its terrible console ports are nearly unplayable in 2022. The UI is the same 2012 version, the guns haven’t been patched, so they’re extremely overpowered and the game lacks any community. If the game comes back updated on the X/S, I will re-review that version. But for now, get a crappy PC and play the best FPS you can getCounter Strike: Global Offensive is great, don’t get me wrong.

    CSGO is tried and tested and loved by many. Its been with us for over 10 years and still rising year by year. Players are able to showcase skills, training growing on weaker parts. Maps strats have evolved with time as great new strats were overcome and players and igls are always adapting, learning anfd finding new ways to counter stick the new strats or adopt or invent.

    Counter-strike isn't the force it once was, but its underlying quality remains insuppressible. [Nov 2012, p.85]

    Lack of both new content and really precise controls prevents the otherwise good console version of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to live up to its PC counterpart.
