I wrote a Tribes 1 review that mainly featured shitting on Tribes 2 and how it must have a chorus of positive reviews, only to discover this ghost town. I guess for Tribes as a whole (especially in the face of the Weekend At Bernie's act it had after this game) you just had to be there to understand. This is not a great sign for the future of games preservation or critical analysis of multiplayer-focused games even on websites explicitly meant to catalog opinions for games all through the history and spectrum of the medium.

that said, tribes 1 still better
