    CS:GO adds plenty, tweaks a little, and keeps the best parts of the classic multiplayer FPS. If you're into shooters, team-based gameplay, or just classic games that are updated well, you won't do better at the moment than CS:GO.

    For those who can choose, they should obviously choose the PC-version: it's best controlled with a mouse and keyboard. But the console-version is in no other way inferior to the PC-version. Even there it's one of the best multiplayer shooters available.

    For the old school fans of Counter-Strike, you won't be disappointed. Global Offensive is very much a great successor to the original game.

    Lack of both new content and really precise controls prevents the otherwise good console version of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to live up to its PC counterpart.

  1. First off lol at the guy trying to compare this with a COD game. Great throw back to the day. Game is just as fun as was back then. This is such a great team game. It doesn't play well with a bunch of random players so if you don't have a few friends to team up with try just playing bots. Fully customizable controls is what every game should have. Well worth $15 Expand

  3. What a great buy for 15 bucks. I have always been interested in Half Life and Counter Strike and when i heard its imenent arrival on counsole i was excited. I love its communication and fast paced elements that make it intense and addictive. The only slight problem was i thought the graphics could have been better a little better but its not all about graphics its the gameplay that strikes you in CS:GO. Expand
  4. This is not the game you wanted. The xbox version loses to the pc in every way. slow fps, worse graphics. I played the game for a while on xbox. The 30 fps drove me insane with controller lag. I ended up purchasing the pc when a steam discount hit. The superior framerates and graphics are way more conducive to this game Expand
