do any of you realize the magnitude of this game. If you have played cs before you know what im talking about. It probly wont be as good as the pc origanal but it definately wont be a waste of money. New levels, charecters, guns and xbox live and maybe even xsn this game will be the xbox title that will give halo 2 a run for its money.

If one has ever played counter-strike on the pc version before, he/she probaly knos that this is the best shootin game ever( yes, its better than halo/2).
The xbox version's graphic is a lot better, and there are total of 20+ models u can choose for the game. But the control can be a little bit sloppy. Overall, hopefully this will be an awesome game.

THIS GAME IS THE BEST!

Counter STrike was a great game for computer. I hope it is also great on XBL. The only problem is that its only 16 players at the max.

Have you no idea of any great games that are coming out now?

Yea sure, the original Counter-Strike Mod for Half-Life on the PC was definitely a smash hit, but that is ancient history now. If we attempt to dwell in this game, we might as well go back to playing our NES's and hover around our PC's over Wolfenstein 3D. As you can tell in this game's screenshots, the sub-par, stinkerific 1998 graphics technology carried over to this game, clearly making it not worth the $50 you are just about to waste. Counter-Strike Condition Zero and Half-Life 2 are coming out soon (but both keep being delayed which is not strange seeing Valve's line of fake promises), it is suggested that you stick to those. I mean, the voice chat is awesome, but even that isn't enough to bring this fossil to life again. Rainbow Six 3 for Xbox Live offers better online gameplay than this. You are also kicking terrorist butt, the graphics are much better, and the gameplay is more defined than Counter-Strike.

Now, I'm not saying Counter-Strike is a completely horrible game. After all, millions of people once played this game on the PC. But now, a large part of those millions has now moved on to something else, as no one likes dwelling in the past. Reviving this classic on the Xbox is definitely a great idea, but is it really worth the 50 bucks when games like Halo 2 are going to be the same price when it comes out? Clearly, it isn't. Skip this title, and save your money for something that is newer and more-defined for this age of technology.

An absolute must have.

for those of us who have already played counter-strike know just how awesome it is, and if the xbox version can deliver just half as much fun it'd still get a 5 star. i have played cs on the HL mod before the actual cs game even came out, approx. 5 yrs, and i have never gotten bored of it. this game will blow halo/halo2 out of the water.

I just got it and it is the best action game for Xbox Live

Best multiplayer game on Xbox Live. Dont't believe the folks who have not even played this game. It brings the real Counter-Strike experience on the PC over to Xbox. And no cheating it rocks

THIS GAME ROCKS ON XBOX

I have played this game on the computer for years and its good. Xbox just made it better. The graphics, sounds and game play are top notch, imo better than the PC. Three of the best things about this game is the multiplayer voice interaction, can be played on the big screen instead of the computer screen and the best reason is its cheat proof, no little weasly dude can come in and shoot through walls or have invencibility etc, all that have play on the pc no what i mean. Leave those people to the pc and get this game on xbox.

Counter-Strike surpasses Halo with Live Multi-Player HEAVEN!

The greatly updated and improved graphics engine truly impressed me as a veteran Counter-Strike player, it is beautiful to look at and play. However, please understand that this game plays differently on the Xbox; it has a faster equipment menu and even features a sinister action movie style soundtrack.

I found the controls to be very crisp and tight, not to mention responsive and natural (However, I still prefer a mouse).

So, how does it stack up against other First Person Shooters and Multi-Player Xbox titles? I found it graphically on par with "Halo," if not a bit better paced game and with better control.

Its game play, control and graphics are far superior to that of "Brute Force" or "Solider of Fortune II." It's also a great way to enjoy Counter-Strike without any online cheating.

Couple downloadable content (New levels, new game play modes . . . etc) and online "Live" play support then Counter-Strike is without a doubt `THE' game.

It even succeeds in surpassing the former king of FPS and Multi-play, "Halo," making Counter-Strike the single best killer application for the Xbox and Live until Halo 2 comes out later next year (if at all).
