The multiplayer battle experience is back, even with a brand new singleplayer campaign! Based on Unreal engine, Tribes: Vengeance lets you jetpack, ski, pilot in order to win most savage battles - on the earth, or in the air. Many new weapons and vechicles are included in this version of Tribes. The multiplayer lets fight up to 32 players, or if you don't have internet - you can always start an interesting single-player campaign based on a complicated story!
Single-player demo (1 mission).
