It's true... all the reviews previous to this have some degree of truth in them. Tribes2 is off the scale in the enjoyment scale. The game has had its problems but the new release takes care of all that. The software updater has closed now and the old schoolers will have to alter their shortcuts to read /tribes2.exe -online. The game far excedes anything still to date. all of the T2 online community even believes this game out strips Tribes Vengeance(persent company included). I dont want to spend a lot of time taking up precious space so let me just say that this game is a 100% buy at any price. The highly modible widely experemented with code has such flexibility that you can find a mod that caters to you personal preference. Snipers... invaders... stompers... pilots... theres something for everyone... Ther are construction mods and vehicle mods and my ultimate favorite WAR2005 mod. Player/modders add wepons, abilitys, and vehicles to game play to attract and intertain the truly skilled. Inevitably whiners appear but they never last long... they either get chased off or become good at what we do to them and start doing it back. Unfortunately the interest in T2 has began to wane again and an update and/or re-release isint going to happen again to turn things around. I've found the game for .89 on ebay and I'd still buy if I didnt already have 5 working accounts and 3 copies of software. What was once a 500+ server search each evening has been reduced to 100+/- on a good day 45 or less on a normal night. find it for under 10.00 and buy it... play it, mod it, host it... LAN gamers this is a plus game for your futuristic war night. 32 players in a server, that's 16 a side people.

This game is terrible for Voodoo 3 3000 owners! upon installation it defaulted into OpenGl mode, The graphics were extreemly choppy, So I set the Graphics mode to Direct3D, that was a mistake, only because now it will not let me change back to OpenGL! if you do change it back, you will keep getting an Exception, causing the game to end. And GOOD LUCK trying to get any kind of Support from Sierra! their worse than Packard Bell was! (hmmm Packard Bell is no longer around, I wonder if that tells you something!) The Game has so much potential! Cranking the sound makes for an unforgettable sound experience, the world is probably beautifull if you have a GEForce. The control of vehicles and planes needs inprovement. If I wasen't such an Addict I would throw this game away, but I can see how with enough work, this could be one of the best game out there. (In my opinion Unreal Tournement is still the Best Game Ever Made!)

Lived up to all my expectations

Tribes 2 is without doubt the best game money can buy on the PC. As hard as it may be to believe, the videos and screenshots didn't do justice to this game. It exceeds tribes in every aspect of control, graphics, and how teamwork is encouraged. Even the training missions are great fun. It currently is a little buggy, and has extremely high hardware requirements, but if you've got a nice comp, this is the game to show it off with. I recomend this game over any other on the market today.

This is a must have game for 2001!!!

There are some problem with this game

1.) Game sucks on voodoo cards

2.) Internet play is slow

But other than that this game is a must buy and patchs are coming out for the interenet play.

Success! Check the forums before you give up!

OK -- after checking the forums, Voodoo-based card users should find the information they need to get the game running properly. Once you do, it rocks! While I'm still unimpressed about the initial out-of-box experience, the net result is still a superb game.

Good game but many gamers can't play

I've purchased the CD, and have played and love the game.

Its fun, I'll admit it, even on a decent 56k connection. Let me qualify that, I use Earthlink for 56k dialup modem service, and in my area the actual dialup and internet connectivity are provided by UUNet, THE internet company (no I don't work for them). On my 56k connection I get descent game play.

WHY I RATED THE GAME AT 1 STAR

1) I don't like playing with my original cd's. I make a copy and store the original so its not damaged, especially when I travel with it.

There is copy protection built into the CD, and there is copy protection built into the game. The copy protection *IN* the game is a cause of MANY game play problems.

The algorithm they use checks for the cd during a game, which it will randomly check during and also at the beginning of every match, and if that check fails, it will lock the game, boot you, or crash your machine all together.

This is FACT!

And the game has had to go thru several updates in part because the check has problems with lower speed cdroms, older, and some off brand cd rom drives as well!

2) more and more frequently, people with decent stats for their system can not play the game.

I'm telling you.. I've played before and loved it.. but I haven't been able to play for nearly 6 months now. I upgraded to windows 2000, and since then I've not been able to play even on a system that EXCEEDS their recommendations.

If you have windows 98, I think you should have little problem playing the game (as long as you have met the minimum or better recommendations for machine), and as I started with Tribes2 on 98 and had very little problems. If however, you are on any other OS (Win ME, XP, 2000) you may not be able to play or may have to resort to odd work arounds to play or play in a diminished Software Video mode rather than Hardware Supported 3d / Open GL Video mode.

So in ernest, if you've played Tribes, Tribes 2 is just as fun if not more so, and has the same look & feel with better graphics, and for that the game rates 4 stars....

but because of my experience, and the literal HUNDREDS of other gamers that have had nothing but trouble trying to get the game to even RUN ... I have to rank this at ONE star.

Close but no cigar

Tribes 2 is a good, immersive and solid game with a steep learning curve. Those looking for a First person shooter will be somewhat disappointed. Yes, it is amazing to be able to wander around huge expanses of land and frag people, but the difficulty in controlling your man as well as the ... weapon selection will turn off fans of QIII and Unreal Tournament (the latter being, by the by, the best EVER in my opinion). Also, the first person mode stinks; I realize Tribes 2 was designed as an online game first, but so was UT and that 1st person mode is great.

Tribes 2 goes to incredibe standards

I found that this game was inceredible and I was really amazed with how the forums worked and it is so simple to have a clan online with your friends just put them on your buddy list and send them an invitation. Then you and your friends can play on line as a team in the same clan chalenging all sorts of people. Then there is a player and clan search that make finding people really easy. It is also intresting how as you play everyone develops a better role and wether your are serious or not it is a great game. One of my favorite aspects of the game was that you are able to drive vehicles and they drive better than in some racing games my personla favorite is the Shirke scout flyer.

This is player Devil Bunny (efb) from the Evil fluffy Bunny Flock hope to see you online:as you can see i am not a seirous player
