I was addicted to the PC version of CS and to Halo. I LOVE CS for the PC. I bought Xbox CS last Friday night for $50. The firing isn't responsive. Don't believe the graphics hype - garbage. It wasn't "visually stunning". Even with my HD setup, CS looks better on the PC. This game isn't customizable on Xbox - at all. If you don't have Xbox live, (which I have) you can only fight bots with this $50 dissapointment. It doesn't have split screen play, so you basically need an xbox for every player. Useless. This is basically the most lamest worthless $50 piece of crap that I ever bought. I tried to return it the day after I bought it - store wouldn't take it (copyright blah blah blah), so I sold it to a used game store for $20! Hahahaha. Thanks for swindling me Valve, Microsoft, Sierra. $30 down the toilet.

Very Difficult to Play

My son tells me this is so difficult that he does not want to play it. He has a lot of games.

If you have CS for PC don't get it for Xbox,the campaign missions suck. Only get it if you have Xbox Live. The AI Cpu's are dumb. CS for Xbox is a big dissapointment!!

PC is much better

Ive been playin cs for the pc since the beta versions and i must say that the Xbox version is total crap. I would have given it a zero if i could. And btw for the guy that said this is on the half-life 2 engine, well, thats totally wrong.

A Review of the Single-Player Missions

I don't doubt that playing Counter Strike online with several other people is fun, but the single-player missions are a complete waste of time. They're not really missions at all--they're "scenarios", no plot, no direction, just lots of mindless running and shooting. I was expecting CS to be like SOCOM, an online-enabled game that also happened to have a truly stunning single-player experience. But this ain't SOCOM. The graphics are horrible (even worse than Ghost Recon), the sounds are muffled and the voices are often unintelligible. The reviewers at IGN.com got it right: If you don't have Xbox-Live, then don't play Counter Strike.
I rented it for five days, but I took it back after one night.

A waste of money if you don't have X Box Live

I saw this game and thought it might be fun, as I enjoy games like Ghost Recon; however, I was very disappointed. There is not much you can do with this game unless you have X Box Live. The single player missions are pretty boring and you will get tired of them within the first 15 minutes or so. I don't have X Box Live, so I can not comment on the game play online.

Pros: None that I could see. There are better first person shooters out there.

Cons: Lack of game play offline. Graphics were not the best and the IA was not very intelligent.

Overall: Try Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, or some of the other Tom Clancy 1st Person shooters.

No storyline...no fun!

This game is a huge dissapointment! If you want a game with a great storyline, vivid characters, stimulating environments...DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. There is no point to this game but to shoot at enemies you can barely see. I think the idea of having to buy your weapondry is bogus, and the maps are very limited in structure.

Maybe if I had XBOX LIVE I would have had more fun with it, but the fact that they give you only two options in game play, to plant a bomb or to rescue hostages, is sooo boring, I played it 3 times, and sold it to a friend.

The graphics are ok, but nothing to rave about. Don't even bother renting this game, it's just really lame.

Quite possibly the WORST GAME EVER!

I bought, played and returned this game in less than one hour. The description of the game on the back of the case sounded awesome, which I guess was too good to be true. To simplify my review, here's a list of pros and cons:

Pros:
- The store believed me when I told them it didn't work, and refunded my $49.99.

- For those not fortunate enough to get a refund, the disc makes for a nice paintball target.

Cons:
- Horrible graphics.

- Choppy movement; when a character dies, he falls to the ground in three stuttered movements.

- No variety. The missions are all the same and only the environment changes, which literally gets boring after minutes. While some would say this sort of game has a high replay value, I would beg to differ. If you can keep yourself entertained performing the same stupid tasks over and over, you deserve this game.

- No plot. There are something like 16 levels, yet there are no real "missions" and there is no story to follow. If you are familiar with any of the Tom Clancy games, Counter Strike is certainly nothing compared to them. You basically just pick the environment in which you want to play in, and repeat the redundant task of saving hostages, or disarming bombs (unless you pick the terrorist team, then you guard the hostages and defend the bombs). If you like that sort of mindless, repetitious gameplay, buy Unreal Championship. It's much better and at least it has a plot with different "game ladders".

- No entertainment. As I stated above, I excitedly bought this game and rushed home to play it, only to discover it was quite possibly the worst game ever (most definately the worst Xbox title ever). When I say there are only two tasks involved in this game, I'm not exaggerating. Sure, most people buy it so they can shoot at strangers online. But I reiterate, get Unreal Championship instead!

I strongly urge those considering purchasing this game to look elsewhere. If software companies make games this poor, and people actually buy them, the software companies will continue to soil the video game gene pool with games like Counter Strike. I only wish there were an option to rate this game with a negative number or, failing that, a fraction.

Not For PC CS Owners

I was so excited to hear this game would come out on Xbox, since I already have the PC game. What a disappointment. If you already have the PC version don't even think of buying the XBox game. Completely slow and uncontrollable with a lot of functions missing, this game is a big disappointment.

Save Trouble and dont buy this.

I am in the same boat of several other people whos Parents dont buy me whatever I want and havent got a 360 yet or xbox live (bad internet connection). Since they quit making xbox games I am desperatly trying to find some old games that even thogh have bad grafics are still prety good. Well this is not what I was looking for here are the pro and cons.

PRO-You get to shoot terrorists.

CONS-horrid grafics(guys get stuck in mid air, guns look fake, blood cornily flies everywere especialy w. a handgun.)
-There is no storymode(you just go to places and try to beat the terorists the best of five times)
-just overall stupid.

Im sure it might be good on line but I dont know what about that could make it better.
