 Counter Strike is EXCELLENT if you have XBOX live... | |
| Counter-Strike is a 1st person shooter game, one of the most popular games ever on PC. If you are looking for a game to play Single player, Counter-Strike is not the game for you. There is a single player mode, but it has no storyline and is basically a practice mode where you can choose the stages and just play them over and over again. You can't play co-op or multiplayer on the same XBOX. You can however link two XBOX's and play multiplayer though. Now if you are looking for a game to play XBOX live, THIS IS AWESOME on XBOX live! There is always plenty of games going on all day all hours of the day (Yes even you graveyard zombies). You can play with up to 16 players, meaning 2 teams of 8. There is different types of games, like hostage rescue, bomb defusing or planting. Amazingly, the games take teamwork to win. The maps are highly detailed, huge, and laid out very nicely. There are plenty of maps to choose from also. Of course this supports headset, so you are able to talk with (only) your teammates and strategize, well until they are killed, then their mic cuts off! This is the best multiplayer game I have played on XBOX live. Basically, if you have XBOX live and are looking for a 1st person shooter, Counter-Strike is the game to get. If you don't have XBOX live, the lack of Single player and story mode makes this game dull and boring. | |
| CounterStrike Worth the Buy? Sure, but only.... | |
| Counterstrike has to be one of the most famous online first person shooters, if not, the most famous online game. Most computer junkies have played it and become addicted the moment they get thier first "frag." With all that said, Valve, the developer of Counterstrike, has just been released for the XBox with all the same aspects and you can play online using XBox LIVE. But does it live up to it's PC version? The graphics virtually have no improvement from the PC version. Which is a bad thing because the graphics are not impressive at all, but to the contrary, the level designs are. Some are vast, some are small, but all of them are very well designed. Each level you play matches in has many areas to hide and get cover from enemy fire. The sounds of gunfire, explosions, footsteps, and the voices are all very well done. Counterstrike also supports the custom soundtrack, which is very cool. Imagine fragging all your friends online while jamming to your favorite rock or rap group. If you have the music CD, you can listen to it while playing Counterstrike. The gameplay is where Counterstrike shines. It's pure pulse pounding action playing it online. When I first played it using XBox LIVE, the bullets were flying, the bodies were piling up, the people were yelling, and I was in heaven. The only problem I have with Counterstrike is that there is no multiplayer. For the love of God, why is there no split-screen multiplayer mode? Did Valve feel like making us video game junkies angry? Or is Valve trying to make us subscribe to XBox LIVE to have some multiplayer fun? Whatever the case, this game doesn't feel complete without split-screen multiplayer mode. So if you dont have XBox LIVE and don't plan on subscribing anytime soon, don't bother with Counterstrike. Counterstrike for XBox lives up to the PC version, and it's arguably better than the PC version. So if you have XBox LIVE and you wan't some ballistic action, then I suggest you run to your nearest game retailer and buy Counterstrike. Hit Miss | |
 Nice game for playing on line | |
| If you don't like to play on line, don't buy it. It is kind of boared playing it by your self |
