Review
Starsiege: Tribes 2 (or just Tribes 2) is a multi-player action game from Dynamix studios. The game is another episode in the Starsiege saga. In Tribes 2 you are a foot soldier that joins any of 4 factions, or tribes, waging war in planets far away from Earth. The entire focus of the game is for players to get online and blast each other. There are several game modes, such as Capture The Flag, Arena and Team-Death-match. The game features wide-open landscapes compatible with the Torque game engine. Your soldier has a jet-pack that allow him/her to glide through the maps more easily, also there is a series of vehicles. The game also includes generators, refueling stations and other infrastructure such as base defenses. Sierra, the publisher of Tribes, removed support for this game, and the online master servers were shutdown in November, 2008. However, they released the game freeware for LAN game-play. TribesNext, a user community, released a new master server for online games. TribesNext now supports Tribes 2 and the servers. Even with the age of this game, there are still plenty of servers and people playing in them. If online shooters is what you crave for, go and get Tribes 2. |
