Tribes 3: Vengeance


Review:
The Tribes series has had legions of fans since the first Earthsiege title was released over ten years ago. (To stave off hundreds of irate emails from longtime fans, we are aware that some trace the series goes all the way back to the Stellar 7 games but, for us, Tribes starts with Earthsiege.) With the unfortunate dissolution of Dynamix three years ago, gamers were understandably worried about the future of the franchise. Thankfully, Vivendi decided to place their hopes for the future of the Tribes universe in the reliable hands of the folks at Irrational Games.
As the developers of Freedom Force and System Shock 2, it may seem that the choice was somewhat, well, irrational. But that's only until you consider that Vivendi wanted a really good single player experience out of this newest game. Given that the setting and mechanics were already firmly in place, Irrational was the perfect choice to craft a compelling plot for a single player version.
The game takes place hundreds of years before the original Tribes when the Tribal War was first heating up. Players will already be familiar with the Blood Eagles and Phoenix when they appear here and will come to appreciate the ideology and aesthetic of the Imperial faction as well. Though I won't spoil any of the plot points here, I will say that the story has you playing as several different characters on different sides of the conflict. You'll get to experience two idealistic royal princesses, a pair of grizzled Tribals, and a cold, mysterious assassin of uncertain allegiance.
