Picked up this PC game for four bucks Saturday. Haven’t even opened the box, much less installed it; but the picture on the front is kewl. Did I waste four dollars?

I enjoyed it. It has a solid single player game, at least one previous Tribes game was virtually only multi player… Its got vehicles, different suit configuration (heavy, light, medium), Jetpacks etc…

You can’t go wrong with jetpacks.

It’s quite fun, both for the single-player and multi-player if you can still find it. I’m actually surprised it wasn’t more popular when it originally came out.

I downloaded _Tribes 2_ the other day for free - apparently it’s shareware now - and wasn’t very impressed. Interesting take on the usual FPS thing, though.
