"Counterstrike - tell me about it"

Tomorrow, I can get hold of Counterstrike for Xbox for less than £20.

I need to know if it is good first though.

So, what is it like?
What's the single player like?
What's the Live play like?

I want honest opinions - no, "Best game evah!" crap.

Cheers.

Get it for a lot less on PC. Sorted.

Before each game, each player has a certain amount of money to spend on guns, ammo and equipment. During each game, you will earn money for winning the match and extra money for kills, etc.

There are 2 game modes, Bomb Disposal and Hostage Rescue. In each game you play as either Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists; in Hostage Rescue, it's the CTs' job to either rescue the hostages or take down every terrorist, while its' the terrorists' job to kill all the CT forces; and in Bomb Disposal, its' the terrorists' job to plant a bomb in one of 2 bomb sites, that will blow up after a short while, and the CTs must either kill all the terrorists or, if the bomb has been planted, defuse the bomb.

This is basically the basis of the entire game. Like Unreal Championship, Counter-Strike's games are essentially all multiplayer games, only in Counter-Strike the "single player" isn't arranged into any kind of tournament ladder or anything.
