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

    The problem is that neither the physics nor the graphics have aged particularly well; if you're looking for a next-gen FPS, this is not it. It is, however, a decent update to one of the best titles of yesterday. [Apr 2004, p.108]

    Underlying all the advances made in bot technology and the updated maps, Condition Zero is still fundamentally a five-year-old game...but this standalone package should satisfy both the Counter-Strike-curious and the broadband impaired. [Jan 2004, p.90]

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

    It's a strong package that suffers partly because we were promised so much in the first place, partly because so much of it is available online for free, and partly because the new stuff is exactly the sort of thing Valve would have released for free in times gone past.

    What was supposed to be a revelation, a next generation of sorts, has become instead a disappointing follow-up to a beloved game. [Mar 2004, p.68]

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

    This game is better than source, and the graphics are ok. The game itself isn't very realistic, but the custom game option is the best. This game is better than source, and the graphics are ok.
