In this review we will cover a game named Counter-strike, developed by valve and published by Microsoft Game Studios in 2003. It is a success and so was the PC version which was acquired by Valve in 2000. This og Xbox version runs on the Goldsrc engine and was the first Counter-Strike game to utilize and include bots.

Graphics: 7
For the time it's kinda great, it even has a bit of HDR which valve was trying to tease a lot in the source engine. But stuff like halo 2 was also in that time and had better textures, at least the lighting works well sometimes in de_dust and de_dust2. Heck, even people with a keen eye will realize that each map may have different skins, one small problem is that some of the guns are really goofy at times, like the M4A1 carbine is as small as a toy gun you find at dollar stores, but that's alright.

Sound: 6
The sounds are good from a gameplay perspective, the gun fire of your teammates in the distance, to the rumbling of the bomb not being defused in time and exploding, its kind of insane for a time like this, sure some gun shots are muffled but overall a good design. Not to mention the teammates have radios and can communicate. sadly because you have a controller and not a keyboard, it provides a lack of communicating with bots, since you only have the d-pad buttons for commands such as commanding them to follow you, stay in a position etc.

Gameplay: 9
Its wonderful. Like a game of chess, each person has his own purpose and his plans of either detonating/defusing the bomb or guarding the hostages. There isn't really a limit to the strategies of the maps and the weapons. And sometimes works with the bots, and the wide variety of weapons and a few equipment, a good strategy is the key of your team's success! Or you could go guns blazing but that doesn't work most of the time. And with the new integration of bots, you can customize them by letting them strictly follow your orders or you can choose what weapon types they can use or not use, you can change bot difficulty too! It only adds more replayability.

Overall: 8
its not perfect, but its a great must-play alright, works well with an Xbox controller and not to mention the customizable bots and wide variety of maps, weapons, strategies. there is really far limit to how fun it could be.
Good replayability. Good gameplay. And overall a very fun game

Thank you for reading this review, I hope you can now decide whether to play it or try out something else, overall just have fun. Seeya
