"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.

My new copy was free.

*smug*

Stealth still plays a part in CS, but just not as big as R63. There is more focus on rushing/flanking etc.

Anyway, £20? You should definately enjoy it at that price - my SECOND HAND copy was £31.99 :(

Despite hating stealth games, I like the stealthy online play of R63 - makes a change to the normal FPS - but I'm after something different cos I think it'd be hard for anything to top R63 online.

I prefer it to R63 at the moment - because I am still crap at that game!

I recommend it as long as you don't expect all-out realism. Everything is dumbed-down (as it were) compared to R63.

I doubt you'll hate it, but you may not love it if R63 is more your cup o' tea.

I just know somewhere selling it for less than £20.

Oh come on, answer me!

Thanks to Mark, I think I'll give it a go.

If I don't like it, I'm sure some sucker of a local store will take it off my hands for £20, or maybe even more :D

As for the 'get it on PC' comment - I'd rather get it on Xbox - I prefer online gaming on my Xbox than PC.

It's a mixture of realism and arcade styles. You get the real-world (though not with their real names) weapons and damage, only with the fast and frantic running-and-jumping-all-over-the-place style of Unreal and Quake III.

Was there a subtle hint in the tomorrow less than £20 bit?

It's an ok game but not on par with R6 in my opinion, but for under £20 I'd certainly recommend it, graphics are nothing special and it's very straight foward, it's a game you'll either love or hate, don't expect an R6 3 beater!
