This game is a great sequel to the granddaddy of class based multiplayer games, but 9 years of development doesn't show

!!!!!!!Xbox360 review!!!!!!
Team fortress was a mod run of half-life in the 90's. It was one of the greats multiplayer games every made. One thing that it did great was make all the classes extremely balanced. The same is here in TF2 with the great class and strong emphases on teamwork. You start of each mission with a selection of 9 classes, scout, pyro, solider, medic, heavy gunner, demo man, spy, sniper and engineer. Heres a break down of there weapons and powers.
Medic-Close combat weapon (cc for short), needle gun, healing gun when maxed out makes you and an Allie invariable for a period of time.

Scout-cc, pistol, automatic shot gun, runs 3x faster than any other character, also has double jump

Spy-cc, pistol, can change into any class that's on the other team

Sniper-sniper rifle, cc, machine gun

Heavy weapons guy-gatling gun, cc, shotgun, can spin the Gatling gun to shoot faster

Pyro-flame thrower, shot gun, cc, cant be set on fire

Engineer-cc, pistol, shotgun, can create turrets! That can be upgraded, teleport, and a ammunition dispenser

Solider-rocket launcher, cc, shotgun, can shoot rocket at feet to throw himself into the air

Demo man- grenade launcher, mine launcher, cc- can fire mines and trigger them by pressing right bumper

These classes are all balanced very well but most people like to go for the engineer to build turrets and dominate the battlefield. But you are limited to the number of battlefields you fight on. Only six maps and a couple of game modes make this game feel a bit short in the replay department. For the Xbox 360 version there are serious lag and connectivity problems that occur little to none of the time playing but some times it's a real pain to encounter them. The graphics are great the art style is a new direction for fps games and hopefully will be coped in the future. This game is a great buy if you're looking for a new multiplayer game that is tacked onto one of the greatest deals in videogame history. But the 9 years it took for them to make it just doesn't seem like 9 year work.

All in all if you like fps multiplayer games you cant miss this class based
