Tribes Vengeance

[MrAce72]

Is it worth buying if I like UT 2004, CounterStrike, etc?

I didn't like DOOM III. I don't like the dark horror graphics and I want to be able to start shooting within the first ten minutes. I have no desire to get into the plot of a game as if it were a movie, I just want to play.

A simple search for the word "Tribes" will bring up the following thread:

It's been a blast......both single and multiplay are lots of fun. Alot of the Tribes vets complain that the game is too much like UT, but I don't see it. It does use the UT engine but the similarities end there. This is one of the few FPSs that has a learning curve. The jetpacks give you a 3-d battlefield and the different armor classes give you the opportunity to change your weapons and specialty packs to tailor your frag style. The demo is out there....pick up the multiplay demo (there is a single play too) and give it a try.

It is not a frenetic click-fest like UT (not a critisism as I like UT also) and it's not a stealthly deliberate game like CS.......I'd say it's somewhere in the middle.

No teamwork in the multiplayer with this new Tribes. It's not "team based" like older versions.
I'd avoid.
It won't be on the "huge online players playlist" for more than a couple months I bet.

I started playing the singleplayer mode yesterday and I think it's a blast.

Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

Worth the money.

I was playing TV all the time till I got into the WoW stress/beta. Speaking of cartoony....if you want to see cartoony, see WoW. Now.....if I can only learn how to master the grappler...........

I just finished single player mode as well & I loved it.
