   Excellent game. While different from the previous two, it stands in its own light. Overall, I think it lives up to the Tribes name. I wouldn't be as satisfied if they just released a rehash of the same old game. The changes and additions made to T:V are welcome in my book.… Expand

   Granted, the game is still in beta, however my first impression is that this will be more like Quake and UT2k4 than any of the tribes games. Hard core Tribes fans may be disappointed by the lack of teamwork elements included in the game. T:V still has jetpacks, vehicles, and 3 ?classes? of armor to choose from? but much less in variety compared to previous tribes games. There are only 4 packs, less weapons and vehicles to choose from, and all 3 classes can hold any pack but only 3 weapons at a time (even heavies). Heavy armor can get around on its own without the help of teammates, and there are less deployables for defenders to use (mines, invo stations, and turrets are the only 3, I think). Any single player can accomplish just about anything without the help of teammates. For the solo gamers, this is a faster-pace game that may appeal to you. There should be a single-player campaign once released that may make up for it?s multi-player weaknesses (which is ironic since the Tribes series gained popularity though it?s multilayer online gaming, and having virtually no single player options at all) Time will tell, but so far I have been unable to find any forums with more praises than complaints about the new Tribes game. I gave it a 6/10 as it is still a fun game for those who have not played T1 or T2. The grapple is reminiscent of the Quake grappling hook, however now you can swing around corners and not just in a straight line. That alone makes the beta worthy of a download (now open to everyone).… Expand

   I was terribly dissapointed in T:V. The new dagger thing is a poor substitute for T2's classic shocklance. And the flying along with the grappling hook is overall clumsy compared to the previous physics. Downgraded teamwork, in contrast to the old Tribes where a clan had to use teamspeak to be sucessful in matches. There's also a much easier learning curve, where there can be several good players without dedicating too much of their time.… Expand
