Counter-Strike : Global Offensive

Rating:

For Counter-Strike players, it’s “Die to Live!” That’s how players master the game. Uncompromising modes urge gamers to contemplate diverse approaches to tackle challenges.
Sequels must capture the zest of the original, add zing, and smack the gamer with a renewed interest, making it hard to desist. Simply put, three new gaming modes are pointless as the original strategies took the accolades, while the new game modes spoil the excitement brought to us by the classic mode. Flexibility has been compromised for enthusiasts, despite innovations.
Game physics has improved, yet, not comparable to Call of Duty MW 3 or Battlefield 3. The ‘bullet dynamics’ is superior to prior versions. Continuing interest still forms the core of the game. Hard to put away I’d say. New escape routes and underpasses catch old gamers off-guard. Revolutionary tactics thrive, but CS: Global Offensive remains unapologetically unwilling to succumb to fads, reiterating its own strength of popularity. A perfect example of that fine balance between radically changed gameplay and boring repetition though fire and flames add a new dimension.
The PC version of the game is superlative, I’d say. Exercise your choice and go for it. If PlayStation 3 is your preference, and you’re tired with inaccurate analog sticks, Counter-Strike: GO supports mouse and keyboard – a plus over the XBOX 360 version! There is the choice of Move, but with limitations. The XBOX 360 version compares well to the PS3 version, although you’re stuck with a controller. It lacks mouse and keyboard support.
AND FINALLY:
A follow-up expanded version of CS has enthusiasts begging for more, wanting ‘that kill of the next kind’ over and over again. Strategist play needs new ideas and out of the box thinkers are on! If manoeuvres, schemes, varied approaches and tricks can engage you, this game has fabulous repeat value for you.
