    The epitome of an addictive multiplayer game that has just the right amount of action and team strategy to make it worth every cent to play online.

    A must-have for Xbox Live subscribers, Counter Strike for Xbox far exceeds expectations with outstanding online multiplayer matches exuding intensity, competition, and pure fun.

    I'll be definitely playing it online, and I hope to see you. But that's really all this game is. And it's all you should expect out of it.

    What's here is only half a game. Live play may be brilliant, but the single-player experience is sorely lacking. [Jan 2004, p.78]

    A solid effort and enough to keep you interested but only if you're into the multi-player modes.

    The core gameplay, while striking less of an impact than in its heyday, is still a solid, addicting experience. The instantly accessible gameplay and well-crafted balance between arcade feel and realism make it a recommendable online game.

    I think the PC version is excellent and well deserving of a 10 however the XBox version could have been so much better. XBox is the most I think the PC version is excellent and well deserving of a 10 however the XBox version could have been so much better. XBox is the most powerful console on the market and these graphics just straigt up blow. If you have a PC pick up that version over the XBox however it is still a fun game regardless but deffinatly not up to par with the PC version that came out 4 years before it… Expand
