Fun:
This game is awesome! It is the most fun I have ever had from an online FPS game and is seriously addictive.
Each of the 9 classes have their own particular strengths and weakness's and are all a lot of fun to use.
They are the Soldier, Demoman, Medic, Engineer, Pyro, Sniper, Scout, Spy and the Heavy.
There is an insane amount of different tactics that can be used (given the amount of class combinations) and with good team work this game offers pretty much endless fun.
The graphics and style are brilliant and don't take a super computer to run well.
The sound effects and in-game class specific voice communications are also amazing, probably the best in any game I have ever played and very humourous also.
They are continually updating it with new content like maps and new unlockable weapons (unlocked through achievements).
There is also a large custom community, so there are plenty of custom made maps and twists on the game to keep you from getting bored.
I would recommend you get a headset if you are serious about this game or just enjoy team based play. Mainly so you can communicate with your team mates effectively.
I honestly can't recommend this game enough, I have played it almost every day since it was released and it just keeps getting better.
With the unlockables and new games modes/maps being released (for free) very soon, it just looks like it will continue to get better and better still.

Fun:
I'll try and keep this brief. The premise of Team Fortress 2 seems simple. Roughly 24 players are split into two teams- red and blue, and they fight over battlefield objectives determined by the current server map. Objectives are of the standard capture the flag/king of the hill type, but it is the variety of classes and potential for teamwork that makes this the stand out title. The classes are superbly balanced- each of them has their own abilities that are sufficiently different from the other classes to give them their own unique feel and playstyle. Valve perfected this, and no one class feels super powerful or able to lord it over the others.
It's great fun to just jump online for 20 mins as a Soldier and fire off some rockets, let off some steam and bang a few heads.... If that's all you want to do that's cool. But when you work as a team and your Sniper pins down the opposition while your Spy takes out the Sentry Guns so your scout can skip past the defences, nick the enemy intel and your heavy/medic combo wades into the enemy courtyard to provide cover for your scout returning with the booty........... it's a beautiful feeling when it all comes together....

Fun:
I'm currently playing as a red spy and am disguised as a blue pyro, the blue team are on the verge of taking our final control point, their engineers have just placed a sentry gun at our spawn gate and the medics at the back seem prepared for an uber attack. I run behind the oncoming blue force with my cloak covering my tracks. I charge up to the first medic and place a knife into his back, quickly placing the cloak back on to cover my retreat. I then charge behind the second medic and back stab him out of the game, leaving me with one heavy and that sentry gun. The heavy is easily dispacthed with my trusty knife and the task of the senrty gun is made easier with my triggered explosives. During and after this time, my red team mates have managed to get control of the closest control point and we are well on the road towards victory.
This is just one of mny stories I could tell you I experienced whilst playing this superb online shooter. This truly is the greatest online game yet released, it is both fun and competitive as well as geared towards actual team work. Working as a team has never felt so rewarding and challenging. The graphics are similar in style to Disney Pixar films like Toy Story and each of the classes (including the aforementioned spy) each bring their own strenghs and weaknesses to any team.
If you are looking for a new challenge then please look no furthur, and if you are afraid that you will be dropped in at the deep end and will just get endlessly killed, don't worry, the medic class is easy to pick up and the people on the servers always seem very helpful. Please give this game a go.

Good game...but not deserving of the perfect scores thrown at it.
It's very difficult to find a game that is more overhyped and uncriticsized than Team Fortress 2, Half Life 1+2 probably being the only ones I can think of. Read more
