ok when i first played this game, i LOVED it. but the game isnt flawless. this game basically is a carbon copy of tribes 2 for the pc. except its missing a few things. like the beowulf assualt tank and the jericho mobile base unit just 2 name a few. these vehicles are soo important 2 me and it kill s that they are missing. all that aside, it runs great, sounds and looks good, its fun, but the conrols are complicated. But, you are able to fly using your jetpack! this add tons of fun things and one major problem....ok imagine this you are running to the base with your chaingun and all of the sudden you see this huge guy flying above you with a spinfusor. what do you do shoot at him while he pummels you? ya with a short range inaccurate weapon using an analog stick???? uve gotta be kidding me. aiming at something that is flying very fast overhead with a conroller is hard. if you can get through all of the things its missing and all of the control problems its actully a fun game. i like it but i reccomend Tribes 2 for the PC. its the same game only better. it has more features and costs 10 bucks! so grab a copy the game has a community that revoles around tribes. the great thing with the PC game is that you can mod it..and people have! thee nothing more fun than driving a speedy hoverbike with EXTREMELY heavy armamment!

But the main reason I recommend the PC version......
There is no sign of communication AT ALL!!! there is no microphone or keyboard support so it makes you wonder if there can be ANY team tactics AT ALL!

And also the new tribes VENGENCE is comming out in the furure so unless you can wait... get this....Or TRIBES2.

Conclusion: decent game if you dont wanna deal with PC games.

Tribes was the bomb, no doubt about it!

Tribes is an awesome 1-4 player(might only be 2,not sure)game that rocks,both single and multiplayer.My friend and I teamed up,capturing forts, bombing bases in Bomber ships, capturing flags in large, Carrier ships, and nailing any who dare come near our base, with fighter jets, much like X-wings in Star Wars. Levels like the one where there are four towers,then a large space station floating above them, is unbelievable! I've always been looking for this game, and as soon as I have a spare $20, I'm buying it. Tribes is not the best game, I admit...there are one or two flaws,such as the fact, if you set the game on hard, it's IMPOSSIBLE! My friend and I are pros and we were slaughtered...but if you're new, and play easy, it's fun, yet slightly too easy.

If you want to play Tribes play the PC version

I tried this game both on ps and on a computer, and I advise you to play the PC version of it (called very originally Tribes 2) because with mouse and keyboard playing is a lot easier(you can be very good with a joystick but a player using a keyboard would beat you anyways), and you have the possibility to communicate with a chat with other players, that makes this game experience really "multiplayer".

Entertaining

It is a good Game I must say the graphics are good the controls get tricky at times I must say but you can change it so when you click one player off line on line 2 player off line or on line go to controls and do Invert X and Y axis and the problem is gone.
training Helps a good bit just do the campaign I say till 3 levels to the end of the game and it helps allot when you do online or off line because Campaign puts you in that stealthy mood and gets you using lots of C-4s which is rare and good weapon use.

Twice I've had to return my game because it could not be read on
my system, but of course everything else would play just fine.

... This games krazy. tru theres no real way to communicate but with the way this game is even if u could type u wouldnt want to the games too fun and ud prolly die by the time ur done typing. u get to drive bombers, fighters, transports(when they loaded they krazy) perfect amount of weapons, plus 2 can play at 1 PS2. so in final U SHOULD BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!! i bought it for "a good price" new, ...for a new awesome game. every1 that reads this, this game is phat and u should buy it its worth more than "the money you pay for this game" thats for sure. so go buy it now cause i sure would like more ppl to frag online.

I could never get the hang of these games. I have Tribes 2 on the PC and got owned whenever I played it online. Sure the game has a good general idea, but shooting a disk at someone is like shooting an ant down with a rubber band from 500 miles away. Almost impossible!

Tribes Arial Assult is one of the Greatest PS2 Games Ever. Metroid Prime and Halo aren't worthy of washing Tribes's draws.
Unlike Halo for the Xbox When Playing Tribes Up to four Playstation 2's can not be linked with four players to an Xbox
equaling a sixteen player smackdown.Instead One player can play story mode,Two players a death match, Or one or two players can team up on line in an up to sixteen player death match Via network adapters.Metroid Prime ... Compared to this since it is only one player no matter what.Like Halo you can commandear vehicles but in Tribes you can fit Up to 5 players in a Vehicle including yor self.Not only that you can fly and use numerus types of wepons including rochet launchers and machine guns you can even coustomise your own suit.How ever because when online their is no way of communication it gets a four how ever it gets a four of 99.9%

Is this supposed to be fun?????

What ran through the minds of the people who made this game at Sierra? Did they actually think it was going to be fun? Well, I'll you what....ITS NOT! I'm so glad I rented this game instead of buying it. If I bought it, this game would've been throwen out my window and into the lake behind my house. Now, lets get in depth with this horrible game.

You can play online, 2 player with a friend, or just play by yourself in 1 player campaign. I tried the multiplayer and single with my friend and we found it extremely boring. We then tried the online, which I thought would be so fun and addicting, but it was just way to boring as well. I thought this game would be kind of like Half Life's Team Fortress Classic, but it isn't. I wasn't expecting the game to be a copy of TFC but sort of the same things that are in the game. Learning the controls is the worst thing about this game. The controls to this game are hard and at times annoying. A game where you have people flying and huge ships shooting at each other, while both teams are trying to capture the flags sounds like a fun game right? Wrong. This game is terrible.

If you want a good awesome game to play online, get SOCOM or play NFL Madden 2003, but remember this review before you play Tribes. Let's just hope they don't make a Tribes 2 for the PS2.

the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
