Designed from the ground up to be played online and in teams, Starsiege Tribes gained an instant following that seems to grow larger each day.
Players enter a conflict between two warring tribes, waged over a series of alien worlds.
By cooperating with teammates, you can launch attacks on your enemies in order to capture their flag or simply wipe them out before they do the same to you. It's not exactly Anthropology 101, but a heck of a lot of fun. Combat ensues over rolling hills and often at extreme range, so you have to aim carefully and keep your eyes out for snipers. One of the coolest features of the game is the ability to fly airborne vehicles, which your teammates can ride along in and fire at the enemy. The game's visuals look quite good even though they are now over a year old, and the action can hold its own against even the latest multiplayer games on the market.
