If you've never played Tribes before, well, heed my advice - "There ain't no butter like butter that's washed down with a healthy helping of squirrel."

Amazingly fun. We're playing the hell out of it around work and home.

It’s got some very good features (voice communication, integrated community options, good team action), making it a game I can recommend if you’re willing to suffer through the growing pains.

I spent many hours as a tween in this amazing team FPS. It's precedessor was the first game I played online and though I never excelled at either of them, the games were so fun to play that I never really cared. Truly a gem of yore.

Epic game, great player control, tough learning curve, but it's epic once you get the hang of it. Still being played today. The community has set up their own master server, that's how awesome it is!

innovate game play (skiing, jet-packs) combined with large maps, solid vehicles, semi customisable bases and deployable equipment. huge player counts (forget 8v8 or 16v16- it is usually 32v32 or even 64v64). very, very customisable characters (choose each and every weapon, grenade, pack) that can be changed between quickly (without even having to suicide like other games of genre). easy to use, very useful pre-set voice commands, huge scope for teamwork. it had it all, and is still (in my opinion) the best online game ever made -comparing it to everything to date.

This is what multiplayer gaming is all about. It's "Tribes" on steroids.

Visually, Tribes 2 will make you wet yourself with joy (that is, if you are lucky enough to own a fast computer) and you'll be treated to some breathtaking special effects.

An addictive and challenging step forward for team-oriented shooters. [June 2001, p.87]

Tribes 2 could have been the ultimate on-line game that stood for years, but its slightly uninspired weaponry, occasionally bland level design and a control method that needs a whole world of tweaking, leave it open to much (if only slight) criticism.
80
Successfully fuses brains with brawn, and delivers one heck of a memorable team-based, multiplayer experience.
70
This is one fantastically exciting shooter with a richly detailed game environment and varied gameplay.
