3.0 out of 5 stars An Extended Player's Manual for Counter-Strike (Xbox), February 16, 2006

Prima's official strategy guide for the Xbox version of Counter-Strike is little more than a beginner's guide, but it's a thorough one. The beginning section of the guide is an in-depth explanation of the mechanics of the game for newbies with a few useful tips sprinkled throughout. The next part is the most interesting one - the weapons chart which shows you all the statistics for the weapon as well as the weapon's damage effect on an oppponent either with kevlar and helmet protection or without. The rest of the guide goes on to detail the individual maps of the game with overall strategies to detailed tactics. Overall, if you're already a mediocre CS player, you don't need this, but if you're new to CS, I'd consider purchasing it.

I oredered this guide thinking that it covered the original Counter Strike for XBox. Well, I was wrong. I was instead sent the guide for the game Sounter Strike: Condition Zero, which has the same maps as Counter Strike, but it's not what i ordered.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is so unneccessary..., December 24, 2003

Does this game really need a strategy guide? There is virtually NO single player game (only good for learning the maps and weapons). This is an online game which means nothing is static about it. Every game will be different based on the skills of the other players. Sure the guide will point out key sniping and camping positions, but you know what, most seasoned CS players already know the best sniping spots and they also HATE campers!!! You want a challenge, send me an invite. Gamertag=bukster
