Summary: Awesome
Review: Tribes 2 is the best FPS team/roleplay game I've ever seen.
It's as simple as that.

The in-game contact with players, network or internet, is amazing with keyboard shortcuts that, in a voice selected by you, male/female, rough or crazy, sends audio messages to your team only or to both yours and the enemy's. eg

VGRA - says globally :"Any time"
VGCR - global: "You Rock!"
VGW - global:"WooHoo!".
VVT - team: "thanks"
VSTR - team: "I'll deploy remote equipment"
VSAF -team: "I'll go for the enemy flag"
VDC - team: "cover our flag carrier"

I know of no other FPS game that offers this feature and is still so user-friendly.

The T2 community is a strong and continually growing international one that will soon be a force to be reakoned with.
The team play gametype is a more mature and longer lasting one than has ever been seen in gaming yet and tribes are forming all over the world that are keen to see this game fill a huge gap in the FPS realistic internet, multiplayer games. T2 is already featuring at some of the top gaming conventions and tribes representing South Africa and England have challenged each other to a CTF showdown of the calibre that has not been seen before.

T2 is more than just a little game that is gradually gaining momentum. It is here to stay and growing into an awesome international community that is continually expanding it's sphere of influence. On the correct servers newbies are welcomed and invited to be trained, taught, and are generally looked after. The T2 community is just that, a community that is there to boost each other, kick each others butts (kindly of course) and improve on and with each others skills.

If you've played any of the well-known FPS LAN'ers or ONLINE'ers
and are tierd of the continual bickering and fighting then the change you'll find in T2 will be a refreshing advert for what the gaming world COULD be. T2'ers look out for each other and accept any players from CS UT or any other games you're coming from. It's an open community that generally welcomes newbies.

T2 is simply the best FPS role playing indoor, outdoor multiplayer game in the world. no doubt.
GET IT.

Summary: The Best Ever!
Review: This game is the best game ever! I started playing Tribes one back in 1998 and I purchsed Tribes 2 before it was realeased! I have been playing this game ever since. This is a fast paced game that sometimes makes me motion sick on my new 19" monitor I just got. I guarantee you will love it! BTW: Make sure you have a compliant video card, such as a GEFORCE2 card with at least 32mb of ram to run this game

Summary: Something for everyone...
Review: Tribes 2 has been around for about 2 years as I write this, and is still going strong with an active player community. It has survived despite competition from more well-known games and despite the closure of the Dynamix division at Sierra which originally produed the game. Why?

Tribes 2 (the sequel to a previous Tribes game) is a first-person shooter (FPS). Using accelerated 3D graphics, the game is visually stunning, with large outdoor areas and detailed texturing. Tribes 2 is designed specifically for team-based multiplayer games. Many people have complained of the lack of a true single-player campaign (there are 5 training missions included) but purchasers will need to be aware that the game is not meant to be played alone.

While most Tribes 2 games are a form of Capture the Flag, there are several other game types included that change the rules of traditional play. Despite what I have seen written in some of the other reviews here, I should point out that there is an active mod and mapping community churning out new content for this game to keep things fresh and interesting.

Tribes 2 caters to players of almost every ability. By allowing players to choose from various armor and weapon types, players who may be turned off from standard "twitch" games have a home with this game. Even if you have a slower computer, or Internet connection, or even slower reflexes, you can play a useful role in a Tribes 2 team as a defender, repair man, etc.

While there have been issues with various video cards and drivers, and a few maps which really stress the frame rates, Sierra recently put out a massive patch for the game which is the culmination of nearly a year of testing. The new patch resolves nearly all the frame rate issues (within reason) and adds a ton of new maps and several new game types. They are even re-releasing the game in a jewel-case edition which should be available by now. Note that it is imperative that playrs actually purchase the game for Internet play as VALID CD KEYS are required for creating an account with Sierra. The new price is a steal, as the new Jewel-case edition includes all the latest fixes, and there are NO montly charges for play other than your normal Internet connection fees.

Tribes 2 gives the user a lot of options for tuning to accomodate slower computers and network connections. Sliders and option boxes for a huge number of features allow users to downgrade the graphic detail and special effects where necessary, and tune the networking code to accomodate for bandwidths from 56k dialup all the way up to LAN speeds. I personally have been playing for nearly two years on a dialup connection, and although I am looking forward to having DSL soon I have been able to enjoy the game despite my "laggy" connection.

While the game is somewhat violent, there is no blood and gore displayed which makes the game somewhat more palatable for younger players. Flying, running, shooting, and blowing up all sorts of equipment is great fun in this game, with marvelous sound and graphics. The "third dimension" of being able to fly (all players carry jetpacks as well as having optional vehicles on some maps) also makes this game pretty much unique among shooters.

Wrapping up, let me say that I think this is one of the best games to appear in several years. Atretail price, this is now a fantastic value.

Summary: A real disapointment
Review: The frist tribe's wus awesome but this one is full of bug's for instance if you acidently hit the windows key your computer it locks up and the only thing you can do is a hard restart and as long as it has been out they still have not fixed it. P.S. this is a common problem and everyone i know bought it and won't play it for this reason..........................
