There isn't really that much to say about Counter-Strike: Condition Zero except that it is a single player game of the multiplayer phenomenom. And, and exact one at that.
Graphics: The graphics have not changed much, if at all, between this title and the orginal CS. The framerate might be smoother, and the tectures, but it is by no means an amazing looking game. It's the same graphics of a game 5 years older than it. Granted they aren't horrible, but they could have upgraded more than this.
Gameplay: It's single player Counter-Strike, or to put it in another way, it's CS with bots. The game is just one of those game you pick and play when you are bored. I doubt you would sit down at home and play this for hours straight. It's one of those "Hey, I'm bored and have nothing else to play, and I don't just want to sit here and stare at my ceiling" games.
On the other hand, Counter Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes is an intriguing single player game that is like the orginal Half-Life. Though, still not an amazing and fantastic game, it is worth a play through. That extra is what keeps me from giving this game a score of 5 or less.
Replay: Once you beat CZ on one difficulty level, you can play through all the same levels and missions with hardly any differences in the objectives again on 3 other diffuclty settings. But we all know you aren't going to do that.
Overall: I would not suggest anyone buy this game unless you just want to waste money. Granted it is good, but you're missing nothing by not playing it. The only reason I got this game was because it came with the Half-Life 2 pack I bought. So if you get the Silver or Gold pack of HL2 on Steam, then you will get this. However, it's one of those games you'll experiement with for like an hour, maybe, and then ditch. I have played through it on on one diffculty, and started another but got bored. I beat Deleted Scenes, and it was good, but nothing worth playing that adds to the HL story.
