First of all, I would like to say that following comments are releted with neither "Counter-Strike: Condition Zero", nor "Counter-Strike 1.6"; the comments are soly about "Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes". Both CS 1.6 and CS:CZ are great games regardless...

If you check the Wikipedia and Wikia articles of CS:CZ, you will find out loong story of the development of the game; it was a disaster... Valve ordered the game to Rogue Entertainment in 2000, however the departure of the producer of the studio to Sony led the company defunct. After that failed startup, Valve gave the project to Gearbox Software which made a remarkable progress however failed to meet the deadline. Therefore, pissed Valve took the project from them and gave it to Ritual Entertainment. The "clever" people in Ritual decided to remake the game instead of developing well designed job of Gearbox. Then, ta taaaa; the gold version the game was boring, dull, unpolished and even clunky. The critiques were so bad that Valve decided to pull the game back and ask Turtle Rock Studios to complete the job. Turtle Rock restarted the work of Gearbox and completed the game that we have now as CS:CZ which is quite nice. But how about "Deleted Scenes"? Well, that single player game was released as a free addon to actual CS:CZ with the name of Deleted Scenes.

Yeah, that was the story of the development. But, is it worth to play Deleted Scenes? Not at all!

All 19 missions are totally uninspired and dull. The game shamelessly respawns enemies to the locations that you have already cleared. Worst, you killed a guy in the corner, you want to take that corner as a cover, right? Na na na na naaa; a new enemy is likely to be respawned right back of you. The developers did not even bother to respawn those enemies to a fairly distant location. If you are annoyed with the instant back spawning of Arch-Vile in Doom 3, you will be pissed in this game which is not even a fantastic horror FPS...

Deleted Scenes has one of the most linear level progress ever; it can even compete nowaday's modern shooters such as COD in the case of linear level progress... I can understand the need for linearity in order to have scripted events which are pretty much the curse of nowadays' shooters. However, the game does not let you backtrack most of the times. It is not like "hey, you fell down from that roof which is not reachable right now" scenario; you pass a door and after a short loading, that door is now cannot be openned in the very same level! You are simply caged between the loading points. I do not play nowadays' noob shooters, thus I have few information about their level progress but that does sound even foolish for those games. Gold key seeking in the mazes of Doom 1 is way more innovative even for "today"...

Conclusion;

I cannot say "do not buy" Deleted Scenes; it is bundles with Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. But I can easily say that do not bother to play that game. If you are too bored and looking for something to kill you time, grab one of the F2P games... The only reason that I played and even finished all the levels of this game is my current computer is so crappy that it can handle very few games; that is one of them. That is it...

Peace...

One of the best action RPG that I played. A new hope for the future of the decent gaming.
