How do you do it?! Portal is pretty dang fun as well, so by the orange box. ;-) Expand

    Since I filled in this form already and you set the javascipt to not allow resizing, I lost what I typed in and I won't type it again. Plus, you can't see the next "error" page anyway because most of it is outside of the upper portion of the window. Not very helpful.

    Amazing! A game that is actually FUN to play! Characters all have their own personalities which makes the game even more groundbreaking.

    This game is one of the most fun and addicting team based strategy games out there. With fast paced action and many different classes combined with on-line play, it will keep anyone up all night.

    Team Fortress 2 completely dominated the season opener LAN party at Abattoir.Net -- not since Battlefield 2 has a FPS held the reigns so tight. To sum TF2 up in four words, action, action, action and fun!

    This is a great followup to TFC. Granted they took away a couple good features of the original, they made up for it with great teamwork required gaming.

    This is the best game in the world in my opinion. It has perfect class balance and gameplay. Only thing missing is more maps, which will be made in due time.

    I got this game since beta and saw how the unique cartoon style has made this game fun and humorous game yet also can be a serious game if the team work together and still be funny, loved every minute of it. The first class I played was the heavy, loved his minigun and his taunts and pretty much everything about him. "Keep crying babies!"

    An extremely fun game, with great visual style, that will look good no matter how real other graphics are. Different classes, plenty of servers, and a small variety of maps ensures that there will always be something to do.

    Been playing this game for over a month, used to play the original TF back in the days as well as other multiplayer games such as Counter Strike and I must say this is a worthy sucessor to those games.

    Balanced gameplay, varied classes, replayable maps as well as a continous stream of updates fram Valve makes this game feel fresh everytime you play it.

    An absolutely excellent game in every aspect. It is a revolutionary first-person shooter in that you cannot always rely on you yourself to win the game. You will have to use every member of your team in order to win the game. It has incredible replay-value and the most excellent multi-player I've ever seen.

    The only gripe I have with this version is the game has gotten rid of the grenades. Us TFC veterans need to look past this, though. The devs are striving for BALANCE, and let me tell you, TF2 sets a new bar for the "weakest link" theory.

    The new graphics engine amplifies the cartoon violence to a new Pixar era of amusing individuality in facial animation. The community is as strong as ever. You can see this, because the game is updated about every two weeks, and hacks are few/far between. Most importantly, each class doesn't feel more powerful than the next. All have an important role in teamwork. Don't let the haters or fans of one particular class tell you otherwise. Master each class, and you can see each has an equal strenth and weakness.

    All in all, the best online multiplayer shooter ever made (TFC) has been upgraded with more balance and better visuals. Job well done.

You may join a team getting it's nads cracked and become a medic or scout and turn the entire game around by how well the team meshes together. That's right..team, thus the name of the game. I've been playing it straight since it has come out (4+ months) and haven't touched Episodes 1 or 2 and have forgotten what Counter-Strike: Source is or how to play it. Screw the NY Times and their idiot reviewers. Hell, when was the last time they got anything right anyway. Buy it, play it, live it. Expand

    This game practically redefines the multiplayer FPS genre. There is no other game that is this unique, and at the same time, as fun to play as this. Sure Halo 3 is great for a while, but it get very repetetive and extremely competetive. With Team Fortress 2, you get nine classes to choose from, each with different styles of gameplay.

    Say your one of those Sam Fisher or Snake stealth game players, hop in as the Spy!
    Real time strategy? Build up your sentries and dispensers in tactial spots as an Engineer!
    Love racing games? Start running circles around your enemies, stealing their intelligence on the way, as the Scout!

    Team Fortress 2 seems to pack so many different gameplay types for the characters into one game, there's a role for everyone!

    If you've ever played the originial, you'd know how unbalanced the game would be for, say, Spies and Scouts, hardly getting any kills because of underpowered weapons. The sequel however, balances all the classes evenly! The Scout can get loads of kills, provided he gets close and uses his Scattergun effectively. The Spy now has a cloak and an instant kill backstab.
    The list goes on and on for how more it's been balanced.

    But hey, the graphics aren't chopped liver either-a fresh new stylized look, and all the characters are given one thing that most mulitplayer games lack... personality (get the game and find out what I mean) and it's easy tell what type of character someone is from simply their silhouette, voice or weapon.

    In short: GET THIS GAME! Along with the 4 other games it comes with in the Orange Box, it's the best gaming deal of the century! 5 Games for the price of Halo 3 minus 10 bucks!

    The marriage of highly stylised retro-spy presentation, fresh, high octane action, deep and varied classes and the underlying twinkle of humour in its metaphorical eye make Team Fortress 2 far more than just your average fragfest. Long after the novelty of the graphics wears thin, we are left with a refined and accessible multiplayer game that simultaneously cultivates new players whilst retaining enough depth to accommodate even the hardiest of veterans.
  2. The game also does a lovely job of framing your relationship with other players and nurturing them.
  3. It's one hell of a game. With its powerful artistic style and blazingly quick, yet accessible gameplay, it's enough to melt the icy cynicism imprisoning the hearts of even the most jaded among us. That being said, it's not the most complex shooter out there.
