A different and entertaining experience

User Rating: 9.6 | Tribes: Vengeance PC
This is the sequel to Tribes 2 and Starseige Tribes. The game plays differently than any other game ever made thanks to the unique weapons and jetpack physics the game features. You can fly for limited time using jetpacks and most of the action is based on the skies. The primary weapons is a disc projectile type weapon. The game not only relies on shooting accuracy and good aim but also on your ability to control your jetpack and ski. Skiing in Tribes allows you to use the momentum from sliding down hills and gain enormous speed plus combining that speed with the jet pack and you can fly throughout the map faster than any vehicle, it also makes for intense battles as the projectiles the weapons shoot will sometimes be just slightly faster than the speed you're moving, so you'll have to 'lead' your shot, that is shoot according to the speed your target is moving and the speed of the weapon projectile shoot 2-4 seconds ahead of the character. This game requires a lot of skill, and I mean a lot, there are so many things to do with grenades, weapons, jetpacks and combinations thereof that talented players can easily be told apart from inexperienced players. The graphics are really good, there are a few maps made by the community that enhance the value of this quite a bit. This is definately worth trying if you have a half decent PC and some free time.
