Any time a game is designed strictly for online play, that game's developer is taking a serious risk when bringing the game to market. So in order for a multiplayer-only title to be successful, it must provide that elegant combination of great gameplay, painless online connectivity, and speedy performance to ensure its popularity and success. Starsiege: Tribes comes awfully close to striking that  perfect balance, and, the game manages to provide one of the more memorable and addictive online gaming experiences yet.
