The game is a first person shooter. Meaning you usually maneuver in a first person view. (Similar to Quake, Doom, or Unreal.)
There is a small twist: in Tribes, you have the freedom to move in three dimensions, and the worlds that you maneuver in are several kilometers in length and width. The environments are large, and outdoor, with various terrains as you fight on different worlds.
As for the gameplay, the game is a first person shooter. But, it is squad-based warfare; teamwork is the key to winning an objective. This means that elements of strategy, teamwork, and first-person shooter skills are incorporated in the gameplay.
The game is a multiplayer only, online game, so an internet connection is a must.
It may be hard to find in the stores, but if you find it, buy it! Also, the demo can be found at www.sierra.com (http://www.sierra.com)
(I forget where exactly, but it is on that website.)
This game has been out since December of 1998, and I have not put it down since then.
