"...highly stylised retro-spy presentation, fresh, high octane action, deep and varied classes and the underlying twinkle of humour..." AceGamez "With a whacky, off-the-wall cartoon style, Team Fortress 2 provides excellent class based multiplayer action." GameDaily "The action is fast-paced and furious, the game's presentation is hilarious and exciting and the gameplay is very easily approachable."

| | Professional Reviews | GameSpy 10 of 10 Not since the 2002 release of Battlefield 1942 has a multiplayer game stormed the GameSpy offices like Team Fortress 2. Maybe it's the new cartoon-like art style, or the tight maps that keep the action humming along, or maybe it's just been too long since we've had a proper successor to Team Fortress Classic. Whatever the case, Team Fortress 2 has a near-perfect blend of fast action combined with depth and variety that will keep it in heavy rotation around here for a long time to come...Although the core gameplay is still essentially the same as the Team Fortress mods we've played for Quake and Half-Life over the last decade, Team Fortress 2 feels like a completely fresh game. There's enough variety in the classes and maps to keep every game interesting from start to finish, and extras like lifetime records and stat tracking that are routinely fed to the player offer achievements to shoot for over the long haul. At this point, it's a leading contender for our Multiplayer Game of the Year, and whether you pick it up as part of the Orange Box package or on its own via the Steam digital download service, it's worth every penny. - Sal Accardo
