Counter Strike Review
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2011The Game is great, It came before the due date posted for arrival so thats a big plus. Also the game came in Excellent condition and has been playing great since I got it. Although the game can not be played Multi-player by split screen and that kind of was not good since most of the bots in the game are a bit bad.But I think you can play Online so if that is the case you wont have to constantly play with bots that tend to sometimes do odd things like not deactivate a bomb when you are about to win.

Doesn't work on new consoles
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2022Doesn't fire up on new Xbox. Gonna have to get an origional one to play on. I was amazed at how mint my copy arrived. The origional box, manual, and the two free months of Xbox live card.. still not scratched off!! It's like someone took the plastic off it yesterday. I'm holding on to my minty copy.

Let the shooting begin!
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2003This is a great first-person-shooter, but there a few things that prevent it from getting a perfect score.You think that with all the cons that this game willsuck, but you are wrong. The pros will make youoverlook its flaws.Pros:+pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles, riot shield+blood splashes when you're hit+realistic recoil on weapons+great map designs/layouts+you can spectate the match after you die+you can spectate from either third person or first person+easy to learn controls and tutorial+fun to rescue hostages or disarm bombs+amazing A.I.+bullets pierce doors, walls, boxesCons:-graphics are dull and drab looking-animation is cheap and unrealistic-sound effects of gunfire sound crappy-grenade explosions lack kill power-bulletproof vests don't protect you well-you die really fast when shot-no split screen gameplay!Thankfully you do not need XBOX live to fully enjoyCounter-Strike. The most impressive element in thisgame are the BOTS! The A.I. in this game act almost human.You'll see bots doing numerous things that human players do in real life such as; camping, searching for targets, jumping like fools, switching to knife to run faster, watching each other's backs, strafe-shoot-hide, trying to flank you, sniping, tossing grenades, escorting hostages to safety, attack you in groups, disobey orders and more! If you like first-person-shooters, you'll love this game!

It's dated, but that doesn't stop it from being fun.
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2009Counter Strike is not for everyone. If you want a shooter with loads of content and features, this game falls somewhat short.But don't let that deter you from giving it a shot. Though the game has aged, its fun factor has not.For those that don't know the history, Counter Strike is a user-made mod from Half Life. It garnered so much popularity that the creator was actually hired by Valve Software. People still play Counter Strike and the Source update to this day, and for a very good reason.Many shooters today fall into a trap where instead of fleshing out the FPS aspect to the game, they add tons of useless gimmicks and features. Counter Strike, however, is built solely to make the FPS aspect fun.Games are divided into separate matches where each player has one life, encouraging tactics and planning. More kills and match wins give money to the player to buy weapons, armor, ammunition, and equipment. The game plays like a typical team deathmatch title, but once a bomb is planted, the entire game changes. One team has to disarm the bomb before it goes off, while the other has to defend it. Even if the counter-terrorist team beats the enemy, they still have to reach the bomb before it goes off and gives the match point to that team. If a player survives a match, they keep their current equipment. Otherwise, they need to restock from scratch.Counter Strike is a simple, yet somewhat deep game in its fun factor. Though some games like Call of Duty may have topped Counter Strike in some aspects, Counter Strike still stands strong in its own way. It's hard to continue describing what makes this game so fun. Even playing with and against bots has its own charm.I will say this, though: be wary about the online component. I don't have a Live subscription and haven't had the chance to check, but I'm willing to bet that the online community is gone. Most gamers moved onto the 360, and plenty of online titles came out for that. Good luck finding a match or friends to play with.

Oh my...
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2005I can't believe I bought this game. It was cheap and I wanted to try some Xbox games online. Sorry to say that this one dissapointed me. Horrible graphics (for Xbox? c'mon!), it was just a port from the PC version. I could be wrong a bit because I don't know the differences between the two, other(obviously) than the menus and controls. If you're looking for a good military game, buy Socom 2 (or Socom 3 if it's out at the time of reading, Oct. 2005) for the Playstation 2, much better.

Fantastic game, great source to buy it from
Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2019
The media could not be loaded.
Came in fantastic shape, original Chinse book I had in my first copy I originally bought from blockbusters years ago. So i paid the same price after 14 years which is awesome. I’d expect this game to be worth 50 used like Timesplitters. Disc doesn’t have one scratch, dust im pretty sure is from my house since I’ve been playing it and I have pets lol. Great game to have and run with friends and great source to buy from. Game works perfect, only tried miami and Italy but those were the best! 5 stars
