What is Team Fortress 2?

Team Fortress 2 is a single-player and multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Valve Corporation in 2007 on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Mac OS X, and Linux. Historically, it stands as the sequel to the 1996 Team Fortress mod for Quake and its 1999 remake called Team Fortress Classic. The game remains successful as it offers combat-based objectives where players can play one of several classes, each with unique abilities, weaknesses, and weapons.

What do the reviews say?

Team Fortress 2 holds a Metacritic rating of 92 out of 100.

“With a whacky, off-the-wall cartoon style, Team Fortress 2 provides excellent class based multiplayer action. TF2's classes are unique from each other and stand out to fulfill specific roles, but flexible enough to adapt to changing situations”. (GameDaily)
