Daily RadarThose with the ultimate system and mad teamplay skills will eat this up, though; it's a triumph of teamwork, dynamic gameplay and some serious strategy.
-
Fantastic online multiplayer action that will rack up your phone bill in days.
-
You won't find a better team based action game on the market.
-
Destined for greatness. With its unmatched multiplayer gameplay, incredible depth, and huge online community, everyone should experience Tribes 2 for themselves.
-
Redefines the team-based warfare genre with its vehicle combat, high-adrenaline missions, and mind-blowing graphics that will have you drooling over your keyboard, while dodging spinfusor discs. Shazbot, this game kicks ass!
-
This is what multiplayer gaming is all about. It's "Tribes" on steroids.
-
Tribes 2 rocks. I have no choice but to come right out and say it.
-
I'm hooked. It's been a long while since I found myself staying up until 3:00 in the morning for days on end. Come to think of it, the last time I did that was when I used to play "Starsiege: Tribes."
-
The appeal of online warfare with this attention to the extras (turrets and vehicles) makes this an awesome online gaming experience.
-
New weapons, new vehicles, amazing graphics, stunning sound, and gameplay that really encourages teamwork... it's almost perfect!
-
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.
-
The latest all-action game that still has lots to offer the strategy gamer so go, go go!
-
Dynamix's final release serves as a mark of excellence in action-based strategy, open-ended gameplay, good graphics, and pure fun, with only a few stability issues and level design flaws offsetting an otherwise solid effort.
-
Amazingly fun. We're playing the hell out of it around work and home.
-
PC GamerAn addictive and challenging step forward for team-oriented shooters. [June 2001, p.87]
-
Its fast-paced action, great vehicles, awesome weapons and huge battles all make Tribes 2 a great experience that you will enjoy for months to come.
-
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.
-
Da GameboyzThe learning curve is straight up with no handholds or shortcuts; there is just no quick way to get going on the servers. However, once you get a hand on the gameplay, Tribes 2 will definitely be a title that will keep you coming back for more.
-
GamePowerA deeply challenging and unforgiving game that rewards perseverance but leaves those looking only for a little diversion writhing in agony.
-
It's with the large team games that Tribes 2 is really impressive. The scale of these games is unmatched; there will often be 40 to 60 (or even more) players on a single server.
-
Successfully fuses brains with brawn, and delivers one heck of a memorable team-based, multiplayer experience.
-
Provides a justification for buying a Pentium V; the best of its genre.
-
In short, then, you should buy this game, and if you play anything online this year, make it Tribes 2.
-
If you're patient and spend a good amount of time playing against the AI bots, your enjoyment of Tribes 2 will increase tenfold.
-
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.
-
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."
-
This is one fantastically exciting shooter with a richly detailed game environment and varied gameplay.
-
Most of the pieces are in place but they are rough around the edges -- even after seven patches. If, however, you are able to overcome the technical difficulties, a great game can be found.
