Team Fortress 2 is addicting. While writing this review I want to play it right now. The gameplay is that good. For those who don't know, Team Fortess 2 is a sequel to a mod which came out out way back for Quake 3. It is a class based online multiplayer shooter. You can choose beetween nine different classes, from the speedy Scout to the all-offensive Heavy Weapons Guy. You play across 7 different maps each with their own special mode. With modes like Capture the Flag and Control Points.

Team Fortress 2 is a pleasure to look at. With each class and map having a wacky cartoonish look. The graphics are also very detailed. Great water effects, detailed environments and realistic shadowing all crop up if your running on a good computer.The classes themselves are varied and each one has their own back story. The online in this game works quite well without too many lag issues. The matchmaking is done via Steam and is easy and simple to use. TF2 is also quite a good sounding game with some nice music in the menus and good sound effects in game.

There are one or two small issues in the game. I may have said that the game is very addicting but to some only having six or seven maps will mean you will see everthing pretty quickly. Also most maps are usually Control Point which when played over and over again can become kinda repetitive.

None the less Team Fortress 2 is a great experience. With gameplay that may be shallow in places, but still always find a way to bring back from more. You won't enjoy this if you don't work as a team, when using teamwork this game is far more enjoyable. If you want solid multiplayer action look no further than this.
