Advantages: Fast gameplay, variety of playstyles avaliable, great graphics

Disadvantages: None! it rocks

After a long wait, team fortress 2 finally arrived and it was well worth it. The original game pushed the boundaries of online multiplayer shooters and introduced us to the class based systems that we see in many games today such as the battlefield and call of duty series. The original game didnt take itself too seriously, and we can see this in the sequal.

Cell shaded graphics mean that the game will run on lesser able computers but this does not detract from the visual experience. From the colourful explosions to the cleverly animated player models, this game is visually stunning.

It is basically the same as the original gameplay wise with two teams competing for objectives on the map or attempting to capture the ememys flag.

The game is fast paced and with the array of classes and weapons avaliable, it will take a long time before you have tried everything.

Will you play as an engineer and set up sentry turrets in your base? Or as a spy and sneakily stab enemys in the back whilst disquised as one of there team mates!

Summary: Class based multiplayer shooter at its best
