Tribes: Vengance Beta Review

FiringSquad have reviewed the Tribes: Vengance beta (now publically availible for play)...

Quote:
The dev team has really done everything right. All the important tweaks and optimizations from the second game have been combined with the fast pace and flow of the first. It seems like a simple accomplishment when put on paper, but we all know of those many sequels that never quite get the formula right. In addition, this third installment of the franchise adds its own unique flavor with not only the obvious artistic and styling changes, but gameplay tweaks. The grappler is a great tool for the interiors and the plasma burner gives lighter armors a chance of interdicting the heavy offense without needing to stay close.

All in all, Tribes: Vengeance looks not only like the best Tribes game ever, but the best multiplayer shooter we've seen. There's an absolutely incredible dynamic to it, a flow of glorious, violent action that not only meets the lofty standards of the original, but exceeds them.

I will not go as far to call it the best multiplayer shooter I've seen, however it does play really well, and in most respects I tend to agree with their comments and praise.

Give it a shot, if you haven't already.

Yeah, it's a GREAT game! I haven't played the prequels, so it's even better for me! I'm hopeless at it, but I was hopeless at CS too... I just blunder around and shoot.

I am playing the beta at the moment too.
Its good, but im sooo shit at it :(

How do you get the serial. I've been waiting for ages for fileplanet to review it or something.

Go to internode who have a link for it.
Fileplanet give you a serial straight away, at least it did for me :)

Im a Vet of the Tribes series and this one is so much better than T2 isn't not funny.
Pretty easy to get out of the box and play, but I would be happy to answer any questions you noobs have :P

Oh and by the way, I could care less about the newbie guide since I had read it. The image exceeded the dimensions asked for by about 10 pixels. :roll:

i cant seem to get gamespy to give me the code, when i go to type in the text validation it comes up as invalid code, the gamespy help says that error is something to do with my pc but i cant pinpoint the problem.

i spent ages downloading it and now i cant use it.

i wish someone would PM the a valid Key.

as an old t2 player I'm still trying to get used to it heh, but it looks good so far, haven't really played it much though
