    If you want to get online and play action games against other people, Tribes Aerial Assault is a must. The consoles have never seen anything like it before.

    With huge levels, good game modes (Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold, Team Deathmatch and regular Deathmatch) and the speedy jet air packs, Tribes: Aerial Assault is the kind of online game I've been waiting for.

    Not without its flaws, Tribes succeeds because of variety and solid design.

    It’s funny, but I swear Aerial Assault looks better than Tribes 2 PC. The levels aren’t as big because of memory limitations, but the game looks just as good everywhere else.

    Certainly not a replacement for "Tribes 2," nor is it a step forward for the series' gameplay in general, but it's a good enough introduction for console gamers.

    Slaps you in the face with a fairly steep learning curve. [Nov 2002, p.194]

    The biggest problem is the lack of communication among teammates. You can press a button to taunt or another to cheer, but that's it.

    This game is awesome, single player botmatch and campaign are so-so, but online multiplayer is great.

    I have rather enjoyed my experience with Tribes AA. I have played many FPS for PS2 and feel that Tribes AA meets or exceeds (in some I have rather enjoyed my experience with Tribes AA. I have played many FPS for PS2 and feel that Tribes AA meets or exceeds (in some respects) any of the multiplayer features of any of the other games. The promoted teamwork and vast environments make strategy the key. The offline one player campaign is pretty good, but there are other games with better one player campaigns. The key to this game is the multiplayer game play (offline or online). Other games feature multiplayer play as an add-on, where Tribes AA features it. I have always enjoyed taking on the world with a friend or two and I was not disappointed when I checked out Tribes AA. The online capabilities definitely keep the game interesting and increase the overall longevity of the game. All in all, if you are a fan of other strong FPS multiplayer games (i.e. TimeSplitters 2, Red Faction II, Socom-online, Unreal Tournament, Quake III) this is a must game to have. See you on the battle field!… Expand

    I think people are giving this game a little too much credit. It is original in it's play and has some neat twists, but in the one I think people are giving this game a little too much credit. It is original in it's play and has some neat twists, but in the one player mode it can become repetitive and stale quickly. Multi player on the other hand IS fun, but if you play 1P most ot the time you will loose interest in a couple of weeks. Good, but not the best in the genre.… Expand
