Advantages: Clean, great graphics, amazing voice acting, great gameplay.

Disadvantages: Crank the graphics up too high, and your computer amy catch fire.

I recently picked up this game, and have enjoyed every second of playtime. It really is a gem in the sea of class based multiplayer games, and one of the most definitive parts of it is that you won't succeed with a team of only one or two classes. You need a balanced team, otherwise you're sure to fail.
A perfect example of this is a team made up of scouts. Playing against them as some classes is hard, due to their dodging and weaving and sheer speed, but against a pyro, a gas-masked figure with a large flamethrower, your bound to wipe out almost their entire team.

The graphics is another plus point. They're smooth, detailed, and even add some humor to the game, as they look somewhat cartoony, but that doesn't stop you from being blasted into several meaty chunks.

The sounds is great too, with fast action music, and appropriate insults from all of the nine classes, each with a different voice, accent, and each with their own history. The engineer is a Texan, then sniper an Australian, and the voice acting is superb.

Overall, I would definitely recommend buying this game, if you want in on a large slice of class based fun, have some mates to show just how good you are as a rocket launching soldier, or hear their curses as you appear behind them as a spy, and knife them in the back.
Definitely worth buying.

Summary: A great game, well worth buying.
