Team Fortress 2 reviewed, impresses Eurogamer


Eurogamer has gotten their grubby little hands on a copy of Team Fortress 2 and laid down the first review of the game. We'll leave the pleasure of reading the whole review to our readers, but we're pretty sure you'd like an overall summary. Well here it is folks: it's good. According to Eurogamer, Team Fortress 2 achieves the unenviable task of providing an accessible team-based shooter experience that will satisfy both newcomers and the hardcore alike. Eurogamer even notes that the need for voice communication is nearly rendered moot by intuitive map designs and classes that counterbalance each other. That's quite an accomplishment if true. Oh, one last thing before you head off to read the review, Valve will be releasing more maps in addition to the six that are shipping with the game. Sounds pretty good to us. Now, go read the review and dream of October.

21. I've been playing the TF2 beta on the PC since it comes with the Orange Box pre-order on Steam. It's lots of fun, well balanced classes and over all a thoroughly enjoyable game.

22. @20: It's one part of a multi-game box set that sells for the retail price of one game. You get Halflife 2 (awesome) with addon Episodes 1 and 2 (both awesome), plus TF2 (super-duper awesome) and Portal (probably awesome).

I'll be picking up the PC version ASAP.

23. This will be the most played multiplayer shooter for the next year at least

it's great, the look, the sound, the funny one liners. and the awesome gameplay of TF but better than both QuakeTF and TFC.
No more spammy grenades.

really, if you are too young to know about the awesomeness of TF you need to give it a try.

it knocks the gameplay of halo3 multi right the f out
