Half Life fans would love to know that there is also a Half Life 2 CD with exclusive footage. Let me say, *drool*.

An essential purchase for the new Counter Strike player who wants to get a spring into the action, rather than the veteran Counter Strike player looking forward to the future of the Counter Strike family.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero offers an unforgettable experience with the innovations it brings to the legendary Counter-Strike series. Especially the single-player campaign mode, missions with bots, and improved artificial intelligence provide players with a different Counter-Strike experience. The classic maps and competitive gameplay in the multiplayer mode manage to satisfy the fans of the series. Condition Zero is a perfect option for those who want to experience nostalgia and those who are looking for a new Counter-Strike experience.

The A.I. on both sides of the conflict is awesome; as the leader of the counter-terrorists, your A.I. pals will follow you and, in some cases, "take the point:" You can give them orders via the chat feature and they'll do things like camp on a bomb site or guard the bomb.

A slight update to an already classic game that doesn’t make you forget about the original.

Brings nothing new to the table. The Deleted Scenes are a nice bonus, but the meat of the game consists of bot matches with some objectives to complete. The game as a whole appears to be rushed, as if they just wanted the ordeal to be over.

The overall quality of the 'bots in the standard Counter-Strike matches keeps Condition Zero from being a disaster. [May 2004, p.57]

Predictably poor. Proof that every gaming franchise has its limits.

7.0 - Counter-Strike: Condition Zero attempts to expand the classic formula with a single-player campaign and additional content. While the core gameplay remains familiar and enjoyable, the AI and mission design feel dated and inconsistent. It lacks the polish of other entries, but still offers some fun for fans. A decent, though underwhelming, chapter in the series.

Condition Zero is a good game but NPC's are definetely broken.They often stuck to the walls and they makes you to open noclip and take a look at them.Beside I loved missions but the maps are a bit complicated.Lastly,gameplay is good enough.

Soundtrack: None Graphics: 4/10 Story: None Gameplay: 4/10 The Graphics were pretty bad but I wasn't expecting any better out **** this old. The game play was terrible. This was essentially a single player DLC for Counter: Strike but the AI was terrible. Sometimes a bot would stand in front of another bot and not even shoot for multiple seconds, despite both of the bots being completely still. I did not have any fun with this game Overall: 4/10

Not as good as the original and the story mode is very dull. A nice update for the hardcore fans but not much else here. I don't think anyone but the hardcore really got into this one.
