What is X-Box Live and is Left 4 Dead a good game to buy?

Hi. I'm planning to buy my husband Left 4 Dead for his X-Box 360, but people who rated the game say that it's better if you have X-box live. Is this when you play it online with other people? Please explain. Sorry, I just don't know much about video games. Also, is the game Left 4 Dead a good game to buy? Thank you.

    X-Box live alows you to play online, so you are able to play with other people. Left 4 Dead is an awsome game, I played with my friend on his 360 and it was great. It freaked me out sometimes, keeps you on the edge of your seat. i would agree thats its a little more fun playing with other people, but yeah, you should defenitly get that game.

    Hey, Xbox Live is the internet service where owners of the Xbox 360 can connect to each other through the internet and play games together. There is a fee to pay for the online service although I'm not entirely sure of what the price is but i think its $50.00 for a year of membership. Left 4 Dead is an outstanding game and I recommend it for your husband. People say that it's better if you have Xbox Live because you can play the game with other people online cooperatively against the Artificial Intelligence (the game). Hope I helped and good luck!

    Xbox Live Gold is required for anyone to go online and play their games on the Xbox 360. Left 4 Dead is a great game too :)

    XBox live is the online service for the 360. Left 4 Dead is a great game and is more fun online but is still very enjoyable without it. You can play up to 2 players split screen co-op or against each other. Very good game with high replayability (the enemies are different every time).

    Left 4 Dead is, in all honesty, worthless unless you play online. The entire game revolves around teamwork, so if you're playing single player, you're stuck with AI that really sucks and it gets boring quite fast.

    Yes, X-Box Live is the online platform.

    L4D is a very good game, but it does get old after a while. However, I heard that there's an update coming out soon that comes with new maps and campaigns, so it might be a worthwhile buy.

    Yes Left 4 Dead is a great game on Xbox Live and yes Xbox Live is where you play online, just to let you know you need get membership over Xbox Live or you can get prepaid membership cards where it gives you a code and all you have to do is just enter the code when you get on your Xbox, the memberships are 1 month, 3 month, and 1year.

    Left 4 Dead is good if you play it on-line (that's what xbox live is)...otherwise, the game gets repetitive.

    Xbox Live is the internet service for the Xbox 360 which enables you to many things like play online against other people and download things like game demo and arcade games from the marketplace.
