Pros: Some good fun for a little while. Cons: A bit laggy, most players are idiots, the forums are full of morons.
Unlike all of my other friends, it seemed, I didn't care about Tribes 2. JamesWong really got into the first installation of the game, while I enjoyed it, but the limitations of the weapons really turned me off.
Pros: They took everything Tribes 1 had to offer and polished it up. Cons: Is a new coat of polish enough to merit a whole new game?
After a wave of hype unseen since The Phantom Menace, Tribes 2 was finally released last year. This hype largely did it in, since while it's a fine game, it's just much too similar to its predecessor in most elements of its stock gameplay.
Pros: Better graphics; new vehicles, weapons, game types; integrated voice communications; easier to kick disruptive players Cons: Skimpy manual; fast hardware required
The original Tribes was a sleeper hit, and the first multiplayer-only game to the best of my knowledge. Dynamix was smart, and sent out free copies of the game to people who promised to run a server (that’s how I got my copy), ensuring that there would...

Pros: Variety, team play, heck solo's good too. It's just got stuff! Cons: Variety can be over whelming at times.
It has hover tanks, it has bombers, it has jump packs and it has turrets, thank you Sierra! What I love about Tribes II is that it gives you the ability to play the game in so many different capacities. You can be a sniper, a heavy weapon specialist,...
Pros: Excellent team oriented gameplay, Impressive graphics, well thought-out improvements. Cons: Steep system requirements, poor single player mode.
The original Starsiege: Tribes was one of those rare games that tries to break the mold by throwing something new into a time-proven genre. In the case of Tribes, that something was a heavy emphasis on teamwork in the classic genre of first-person...
Pros: Just plain awesome graphics and team-based combat! Cons: You have about a 50/50 chance of being able to play it.
Well, let me start by saying I have waited years for this succesor to Starsiege:Tribes and when it finally came out I was thrilled! The graphics are just plain awesome, the potential team-play aspects unheard of, in-game voice communications work great,...
Pros: Engaging gameplay, Lush Graphics, More fun than you can shake a spinfusor at. Cons: Llamas, Steep hardware requirements, some issues with Radeon video cards
When Sierra first released the origional Tribes, everyone was a little put off at first. I mean, it was part of the Starsiege universe, so we all expected to see 40 foot tall mechs battling other giant robots, as they lumbered about in hilly, rolling...
Pros: Awesome graphics, sound, and gameplay Cons: Steep system requirements
Tribes 2 is an awesome sequel to one of the most beloved multiplayer games of all time– Starsiege Tribes. This game oozes with all the super gameplay, graphics, and sound that its predecessor was known for. Complete with new weapons, new vehicles, and...
Pros: Amazing gameplay, new vehicles & weapons, this box is too small to finish. Cons: Single player missions bite, mid-high-end system required to enjoy it to the fullest
Following a massive success with Tribes 1, the original plan was to have an expansion pack called Tribes Extreme. Since there were so many improvements, they decided to build a whole new game from scratch, using a superior engine and proving that...
Pros: Great multiplayer game! Cons: Need good hardware - might have technical problems
First, if you plan on getting this game for single player, then forget it. You are just wasting your money. This game is meant to be played online in rooms of 40+ people. This is the only time when you can experience the potential of this game.
...
Pros: Great gameplay, new vehicles, weapons and strategies. Cons: Some complete idiots who ruin everything you work up for.
Tribes was my favorite game, it had everything you could want, action, adventure, and things that are rare but exciting. Tribes 2 is the addition of those plus much better graphics, new weapons, new vehicles, and new strategies.
You have the...
Pros: Graphics, Team Play gaming, Auto-update feature. Cons: Not nearly as smooth online game play as the original.
For those of us who were addicted to Tribes 1, Tribes 2 has lost something for awhile in it's game play. The graphics are 5 fold better than the previous version, but it's online fps gaming had lost it's edge.
