Introduction-
When I first played Team fortress 2 I got the Orange box For my PS3, mainly for Portal and Half life.
Vaguely ever hearing of Team fortress 2, eventually curiosity got to me and I played it, chose my name and looked for my first server.. did I burn it? or did I play it?

Story-
Team fortress 2 is an Online shooter meant for the soul purpose of multiplayer goodness.
so as you can guess there's not much story but there's a certain Charm about the Characters in Team fortress 2 you instantly fall in love with at least one of the 9 classes/Characters.
The Scout your Fast cocky Character. The Pyro your misunderstood character. The Soldier the guy who just wants to blow shi* up, those are just the 3 Offensive classes. Pretty much the only story element is each team is based on either a Demolition team "Reliable Excavation and Demolition"(RED) or a Construction team "Builders League United"(BLU)

Graphics-
The graphics are very good and unique, think "The incredible" the Pixar movie.
But imagine Buzz light year getting blown up by a missile launcher or shredded by a Turret.

Music-
The music in this game is very catchy and addicting.
and the sounds are very clear and smooth.
each class has a list of things you can have them say for example, yell for a medic.
and very realistically, when the Pyro talks all you here is him mumbling because he has that huge mask on.

Gameplay-
The Gameplay of Team fortress 2 has so many elements it's insane.
but each class has it's own weapon secondary weapon and a melee weapon.
Valve does an awesome job creating new Weapons, Achievements for each class,
New Game modes and maps for all Versions PS3,360,PC of course the PC has the advantage of having fan made levels and mods.

I haven't been able to get my hands on Orange Box yet, so I haven't had the pleasure to play any of the games.
It sounds like so much fun, though!

Good review :]

I have the oragne box and I like it... other than team fortress. I just really don't like it. Compared to other online games out there, to me, it's not very good.

You should give it another go, I have a few friends that tried it once and didnt like it, then they tried it again a few months later and loved it.

Thats What makes TF2 better then your average Shooter, there's more to it then just Run, Aim, Shoot. once you get used to all the extra aspects it's very addicting.
