Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Everybody knows Counter-Strike... Well, atleast should know. I, myself, had played Counter-Strike 1.6 for a long time before I heard about Condition Zero. I read many different reviews, everysingle one of them gave it bad scores. I just HAD to try the game and see, why is everybody hating it.

I bought the game through Steam. It came as two parts. One part had Tour of Duty (a singleplayer campaign) and the internet multiplayer itself, the other one had Deleted Scenes, which was full of singleplayer missions. I started playing Tour of Duty, and the first thoughs I had while playing it were something like this: "What the f... It's the same game! Well, different graphics, but otherwise the same."

I got through Tour of Duty's Easy and Medium difficulty levels in one day, but I really has a bad time with Hard, because from Hard, the Friendly Fire is on, and my fellow bot-CT's (which can be got by using points you get from going through levels) threw grenades everywhere, many times killing me instead of the enemy. When I finally got through Hard, I started going through it with the hardest level, and the enemy-bots were like cheaters! They shot through walls and got more headshots than they should, and my teammates went crazy with flash grenades, often flashing me. Oh hell yeah.

Deleted Scenes was a great game, though. It's awesome! It's like Half-Life, you go alone in bigger and bigger terrorist complexes and other places without any backup. Thank god, a break from those damned team-damaging, team-flashing bots.

The Internet multiplayer... Well, it's just what I though when I first played Tour of Duty: The same game with just different graphics. Way to go.

SCORE:

Tour of Duty - 59 / 100
- Only Easy and Medium were playable. Hard is best gone through without teammates.

Deleted Scenes - 94 / 100
- The best part of the whole package! Only this made it worth the money.

Intenet-multiplayer - 51 / 100
- It's the same as 1.6, with just different graphics.

OVERALL - 68 / 100

I found Easy and Medium more difficult, because my team-mates kept killing the enemies off before the hostages were rescued (for missions that require hostages to be rescued).
