  Starsiege Tribes for PC video game review and cheats
For the tribes who journey among the stars, war is a constant way of life.
In some of the most basic game scenarios, teamwork isn’t required to a great degree and a group of loosely organized players can hold their own, but most of the scenarios will require more teamwork to succeed.
Tribes is a knock-your-socks-off multiplayer game that will captivate anyone who likes to join in friendly mayhem with a group.

 GameSpy.com - Review
When the original Tribes was released for the PC back in 1999, it shook up the gaming world by proving that a game developed solely for online team-based play could not only do well, but develop a rabid following.
Flying, placing mines or pulse sensors, and shooting all at the same time quickly becomes second nature, and not long after that you'll come to grips with the capabilities of each armor class and you'll start learning how to be a valuable asset to your team.
The game makes use of an auto-aim function that is a bit too generous, making mid-air shots -- a skill that truly separates the men from the boys -- far too easy.

 CNN.com - Sci-Tech - Review: 'Tribes 2' a solid sequel with some flaws - April 9, 2001

Tribes 2 servers can be accessed directly from the in-game menu that has some nice sorting capabilities for ping rates, kind of game, number of players, etc.
"Tribes" veterans will be instantly familiar with the control interface, but for the action gamer who lives for "Unreal Tournament," the controls in "Tribes 2" are insanely complex, and you'll use most of the keyboard to access different commands and to communicate with other players.

 Starsiege Tribes (PC) Reviews. PC Games Reviews by CNET.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The weapons in Tribes are decent, with a few energy weapons, a slick gun the fires explosive discs, a short-range Gatling gun, and a trusty grenade launcher.
Also, despite the game's team structure, there are still plenty of freelancers in each game, running about with their own agenda and little regard for teamwork or joint objectives.
Tribes could stand to be improved in a few areas, notably in the matter of the weapons consoles.

 AVault | PC | Tribes 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
I continue to be amazed with how far multiplayer game technology has gone in such a relatively short period of time.
Dynamix seems to have abandoned much of the Starsiege backstory for Tribes 2, but the manual explains the conflict as follows: In the 40th century, a series of neo-barbarian tribes contend for territory across countless worlds.
Tribes 2 is a massive action and strategy game that takes the concept of multiplayer team-based competition and attempts to present its every facet in a fun, user-friendly environment.

The game was announced officially in April, and we got a small look at it during E3, but really in a limited sense.
In the CTF games it's also generally where the flag is; although it's not always inside the base.

 "STARSIEGE TRIBES"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
"Tribes" has Death match options (like "Quake", "Quake II", or "Unreal") but its main attraction is in the multi-player games of 'capture the flag', and 'defend and destroy'.
The movement in the game is quite fluid, and flying is achieved by rocket packs, spring boards, and several types of flyers, bombers and troop transports to take you and your teammates to the enemy base.
"Tribes" comes with the usual combat voice chatter, but as with all games, "custom" chatter has been added by hardcore Tribes players, and if it is their server, they control the attitude of the game.

Freeware video or computer strategy or wargames, where the player sees the "big picture": controls many units at once, on a large map, and must coordinate them in order to win, usually by destroying the similar forces of one or more opponents, or by conquering an area of the game map.
This category is for games that simulate a world where the player controls the actions of its inhabitants, with little to no control over the environment.

 StarSiege Tribes PC Game Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Tribes may in fact be one of the last games afflicted with this form of narrow-mindedness, given the success of alternatives to the 3Dfx Voodoo and Voodoo2, such as the Nvidia Riva TNT and ATI Rage 128.
Perhaps the neatest inclusion in Tribes is the ability to do power-assisted jumps (familiar to readers of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers, but conspicuously missing from the movie of the same name).
Tribes is a very smooth product from end to end, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers to the online gaming scene.

 "TRIBES 2"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
"Tribes 2" is one of those games that comes along every once and a while and puts a whole new spin on what everybody is used to.
The entire online mode of the game (which is, really the only fun way to play) requires you to sign up (for free, of course) for a community-style game network.
Adult content is not part of this game at all, but as I said before, it's not at all unlikely that you will run into some inappropriate things being said by other players.
