Customer Reviews

Ahead of its time
It is nice to be able to play a game that has a voice capability in game instead of having to deal with Ventrilo or Teamspeak. Also one thing i want to mention is when you buy this game here is a list of games that come with it and their ratings. (They dont tell you about a couple of them)

Counter Strike 1.6 (5 Stars)
Counter Strike Condition Zero (4 1/2 Stars)
Counter Strike Condition Zero Deleted Scenes (4 1/2 Stars)
Day Of Defeat 1.6 (4 Stars)
Deathmatch Classic (5 Stars)
Ricochet (2 Stars)

Counter Strike is the game that started it all. It is enjoyable to play and the graphics are fairly decent. If you want the most killer graphics then i suggest you get the Counter Strike Source Package. Condition Zero is a separate game not an addition pack. The reason i gave it 4 1/2 stars is because I have a slight problem of when i let go of a direction button (to go forward, backward, sideways). When i let go it keeps going for less than a second. Day Of Defeat 1.6 Is fun but some of the servers lag a lot. Deathmatch Classic is a really funny game. This is really old and it is funny to watch all these people walk around with frozen fake faces. Ricochet is an odd game of jumping on these pads and knocking people of the pads to me its pointless. All these games use the Steam platform which can be tedious. DEFINATLY DO NOT!!!!! BUY THIS GAME USED.It will not work. Also when you choose to join the 2000+ servers on CS 1.6 sometimes there is a server that has all these dumb pointless sounds that you have to download to join the server. Overall a neat game, even though it is old there are still tons of people who play it!

Great Value
First you actually get more games then listed as others have pointed out. Me and my roommate got a whole bunch of of our friends to get it with us since you get so much for $10. The graphics are outdated, but it doesn't really take away from the game play (plus it will run on old computers). The people talking about the internet connection issue, I think are just having issues with the fact that you have to activate the CD key online and download all the updates (which is done automatically). After you activate it you will not need the cd to play or even install later as all game files can be downloaded if needed later. You can play in offline mode if not connected to the internet but you will first have to activate the game and get the updates downloaded.

The games are great and this is a great value.

mixed emotions
If the game wasn't making my computer have more problems than ever before, then it would probably be an excelent game. I play against the bots and yet the game tries to connect me to a internet connection like as if everyone that plays the game has to play on-line. We have to have some time to play it before we go on-line, so that we don't look like we just installed it. Not everyone has ten hours a day to play on-line games. If I tried to go on-line in order to play the game, people would kill me off so fast it would make my head spin, because they do nothing else,other than the on-line gaming.
