Counter-Strike - Xbox

Not as good as the PC verisions, but it does something right.

This was one of the first games I bought when I first got my Xbox. I had it for about 4 months before I decided I would trade it in. Unless youre really into Counter-Strike or have Live, youre not going to want to keep this game around forever.

The game is a console remake of Counter-Strike Condition Zero. Most people hated it for some reason, I for one liked it, and this version. It let me get a real good feel of what Counter-Strike was like before I bought it for PC. If you dont have Live, its good to just goof around and waste about an hour playing. But after that, it goes right back into the case. The bots, of course, can be level adjusted. To be honest, theres not much in terms of gameplay unless you have Live. The addition of a single player mode like the PC version would have been nice. And if they had left Office and Inferno unlocked, it might have been worthwhile. The inclusion of a profile system is good if you have a friends that wants to try it out. Which I didnt.

The graphics are between CZ and Source, but more towards CZ. The levels are the same as the PC versions which can be a little bit of a let down, but like I said, it helped me get a feel of them before I bought the PC versions. The skins, at least, can be selected, instead of just running around as the Seal Team 6. But they tend to look a little bit goofy and blocky. The guns look the same just as in all the other versions.

The sound is pretty good, the sounds are recycled though. The bots sound different from one another which is a slight plus. Guns sound real. Footsteps, flashlight click, environment sounds, its all there. The addition of custom soundtracks is awesome. I can remember fragging to Nonpoint when I had this game. You may want to put on something with high energy rather than slow songs.

The value, like I said, may not last long unless you have Live or a hardcore CSS fan. Now that I am a hardcore CSS fan, I wish I still had this game.

Im gonna have to give the reviewers tilt a slight nudge up. Only because this is a Counter-Strike game I reviewing. And CS pwns.

Good ol Memories

Lets face it. The graphics suck balls but thats not really important. The gameplay is fun and there are a variety of weapon, grenades and shields you can buy. Planting a bomb has never been this fun.

good but not gold

counter-strike is a fun game at first but is a piece of crap after 5min of play because of no story and 2 player ? wtf.

Having to pay for Live is the only flaw!

GREAT GAME! PLayed it on single player.. eh..it was ok. I hooked up to XBOXLIVE later and WHOA! sweet deal! Just like the PC game, it is one of the best shoot 'em up games ever.
