Counter-Strike

"Intrigued on the basis that it would be Xbox Live-enabled, cheat free, would have single-player content, exclusive maps, the great levelling factor of being joypad controlled, and allegedly vastly improved visuals to complement the whole package."

"It’s still CS and therefore can still be loads of fun, but there just isn’t much fire in our holes for a simple port of a game that came out four years ago."

"...if you like on-line gaming, then this title is a must-have for Xbox Live! owners, especially if you have never experienced the PC version."

"If you've never experienced Counter-Strike before, this new version of the classic team-based PC shooter may cause you to wonder what, exactly, all the fuss is about."

"Counter-Strike is a decent game if you take it for what it is. However, I couldn't help but feel disappointed that neither Ritual nor Valve nor Microsoft Game Studios seized the opportunity to make the Xbox version of Counter-Strike something more visually impressive and worthy of our attention."
