Let's face it...Counter Strike fans will give this game high ratings no matter what. True die hard CS players like myself laugh at the weak attempt that was made in Condition Zero.

If you have played Counter Strike, you will be disappointed. If you have dial-up or cannot access the internet...I still cannot recommend this game unless the price goes below $20.

Save your money, buy Unreal Tournament 2004 and download some of the weapons mods and conversion mods available for free. The enemy AI is mind bendingly awesome and will humble you quickly.
Plus, you get a more dynamic game that constantly changes and is very dynamic.

Condition Zero is stale, repetitive, the enemy AI is predictable, the objectives are stupid - example, you must rescue 5 hostages and kill a terrorist with the sniper rifle. Ok fine...but see how hard it is to rescue 5 hostages when your computer AI teammates keep killing the terrorists and finishing the level before you can rescue any hostages at all! I had to let the terrorists kill my guys on purpose just to get around this problem!

its not that bad of a game, but if u have the original cs dont bother. probably the best part of the game is the bot AI, sometimes they can do stupid things like kill hostages or jump off cliffs, but it is still impressive espeically on an old engine life half-life. the Ai is better than is some other games, for instance battlefield 1942. The slightly twitched graphics were also impressive, like more crates and better lighting in maps. the maps are also much more realistic with environmental changes, such as rain and realistic textures. the single-player mode wasnt that bad either, good for someone just starting out with counterstrike, but old veterans might stray.the deleted scenes were also mediocore. way 2 much bugs though and not really challenging but has interesting scripts and new weapons. Overall it was ok, but with other great shooters out there like unreal tournament and quake, it wasnt so impressive. 2 things i was mainly mad about. first the price, second no new weapons or skins in multiplayer mode.

This is my favorite battle game. I started by playing Half-Life first, which in addition to "boots on the ground" battle against online opponents, also has an incredible story plot solo game included. But Counter-Strike is all about the battle between terrorists and counter terrorists, and bringing the battle right into your soul. What Condition Zero, the latest release from Sierra does so well, is it allows you to fight offline with robots, or 'bots', as they are called in this genre. You can set their skill level low so you can be the hero and hold your own, and not get slaughtered by the pros you would otherwise meet in the online network option. Playing with the bots is my favorite way to play. It also alleviates any trouble you might have with a slow internet connection. I want to have to struggle, but I enjoy coming out the hero in most of the bot matches. At the beginning of each round you get money to use to equip yourself with the necessary kevlar armor, as well as submachine guns and rifles, etc, based on real world counter-terrorist police gear. If your team wins, then the next round you have more money to buy better weapons and gear. By the way, each round lasts about 10 minutes, so if you get shot, you float like a ghost and observe until a few minutes later when a whole new round commences.
The 3d graphics are great, the approximately 20 maps are varied such as Chateau, Train Station, Aztec, Desert, etc. The sounds are very realistic, right down to the sound of the brass casings bouncing on the floor as you fire your mp5 at your enemy. There is solo game story adventure included, which even includes a training mission. Counter-Strike is the #1 selling first person shooter in the world, bar none. Not to be missed!
