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!

*WARNING* DO NOT BUY USED!!

I gave this game a low rating, not because it is necessarily a bad game (I wouldn't know because I can't play it), but because if you buy a used game that has been registered on "Steam" then it won't let you play it. And since you have to register with Steam to play, then all used copies will suffer from this. My only option now is to go through the red tape that Steam customer service web site said I need to go through, in hopes to get the cd-key reset. I followed the instruction and still have not heard a thing after several days. I have bought many new games and have never had a problem playing them. The whole Steam client is a pain, even for the games that do work. It's just a long, un-necessary process to go through when you just want to fire up a game a play for a while. If you buy this game, I highly encourage you to buy a "new" copy.

I DISAGREE ....

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. My step-son has been playing CS *Counter Strike* for the longest time I can remember and he's got all the versions. Counter Strike: Source, Counter Strike : Condition Zero, Counter Strike : Day Of Defeat and Counter Strike : Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. I often watched him play and it looks like so much fun. So I decided one day to give it a try and purchased the Counter Strike Anthology and the offline game you don't need internet connection to play hence why they call it *OFFLINE*. I prefer to play Online with other players from around the globe cuz those bots can be idiotic often times. My fiance is addicted to and can sit here for hours playing. So can I. It's a really addicting game and they have clans that you can be invited to join into which is kinda like a gang. I'm a member of two(2) the I.T clan and the .:{K|-|S5}:. clan. This game is really addicting and in turn you'll make some new friends and gain some new skills as well. Trust me it's FUN with a capital F !!!

Great game - if you have internet access

I'll make this review short and to the point. The game itself was great with wonderful graphics and easy maneuverability via the mouse and keyboard.

Getting the game to load was a different problem. I bought this game to give to my brother-in-law, who is in Iraq. Little did I realize you need to have an internet connection in order to play it.

I first tested the game on my PC. After I installed the game and tried to run it, I received the following message: "Steam.exe(Main Exception): Unable to load library steam.dll". A little research revealed that the "steam.exe" that came with the disk was bad and I needed to download a newer version of steam.

After about 3 hours of work, I was able to play the game in off-line mode. You shouldn't have to be connected to the internet to play any game purchased at a store. It's for this reason I cannot recommend this game - especially to those whose computer isn't connected to the internet.

steam sucks

I bouht this game after my freind told me about it. after installing the game it told me I needed a steam acount, in all I probably spent a little over 24 hours trying to get it to work, after all the lost time I put into it, it still didnt work. It also messed up my internet conection. later I bouht another computer game made by valve that didnt involve steam and it still didnt work. So I dont know hwo to blame valve or steam.

i advice all who have high speed internet conncetion to get this game

Quick and easy to install. Lot's of fun.

I played this game when I was in high school back in the day. I'm not as good as I used to be, and 12 year olds call me a "newb," which is funny since they were like 5 when this game came out. But it's good times.

You dont need a fast computer to run it, and it's free still, of course.

Good stuff!

Rip Off!

If you aren't running this on a Cray super computer you can forget it! I try running this on my 2.6 Gig Dell laptop with 64Meg graphic card and it doesn't run in a manner worth playing. The lag and freezes make it impossible to play even in 1 player mode. When you scale down all the graphics and turn off the voices you might be able to play, it, but the great guys at Valve reset the data after every level (or so it seems to me). So after a while, you'll have freezing and lag again. When you turn everything off it reboots the game. Its cool, because you will see the title screen, then it will go away. Then you see it again as if it has launched itself, but then it goes away again. Wow, guys, great testing; especially when advertising the game is made more playable for those not running Cray super computers. I've played other 3D games like EQ and War Craft 3 with no problems. My best guess is the engine is highly inefficient. Ultimately, don't expect this game to be a simple install and fun play.
