Tribes: Ascend

Apr 16, 2012

Tribes Ascend is, by more than 300kmhh, the most exciting first-person shooter I've played in years. The Tribes series dates back to 1999's Starsiege Tribes, which introduced the interlocking mechanics of jetpacks and skiing.

Tribes: Ascend is the most pure representation of the Tribes experience since Tribes 2 perfected it back in 2001. Almost every single part of the experience has been tweaked and improved, classes reborn and expanded, maps detailed and sprawling. You can ski like a master within minutes, but perfecting your routes, jumps and jetpack tactics are still the aim of the game. Hi-Res has spent months poring over the original games, talking to the original developers, and taking notes from the community.

In the end, even with just the three starting classes and nothing else unlocked, the game is a lot of fun and still completely free. It's worth checking out for both old fans and those of you who don't know what a Spinfusor is. Bottom line: Tribes Ascend isn't just another modern military shooter. Recommendation: If the premise of a class-based shooter with some truly unique mechanics wasn't enough, it's free.

Capture and Hold and Raindance are strong additions to an already-strong free shooter, and it makes Tribes: Ascend an even more addictive "just one more match" FPS that's unlike any other shooter on the market. In the age of me-too shooters, that's not just a good thing, that's a great thing. Spy Guy says: Anti-friction boots, eh? Sounds like a gadget I could put to good use.
