Tribes isn't one of those instant gratification games. It's more like a sim, in which you actually have to practice, practice, practice, in order to pull of the awesome moves--like jetpacking 100 feet into the air, coming down into a canyon, skiing down one side, and then shooting back up the other at mad speeds. Plus, this new version adds a grappling hook so you can swing around like Spiderman. Honestly, give it a try. As long as they haven't screwed up the netcode this version could be awesome.

(Because, yes, Tribes 2 did suck ass for many people)

"...tribes has very little `new` aspects to it, even when it first came out "

LOL Horseshit. Tribes 1's competing line up at release in late 1998 was Quake 2, Half-Life, and Unreal. With what it brought to the table, it was very innovative. Jetpacks, controllable transports, command interface, new gameplay modes, open terrain environments, and a completely new approach to team tactics. Yeah, Tribes has ended up molded around the CTF portion, but that was more the community's want than the developer's decision.
