Steve - I kind of know where you're coming from - at first glance, the graphics are a bit cutesy, but they're incredibly effective and endearing. It makes a hella change from the drab grey look of many contemporary shooters, and because they don't strive for realness, tiyr memory accepts it as a better facsimile of a true gaming environment. I mean, everything in there makes so much sense and is a feast for the eyes.
It helps plenty that the game mechanics themselves are so engaging - you're likely aware of the usefuleness of individual character classes, but you might not have seen the Gold Rush game mode, which focuses the action along a course in the gaming field and allows for fun defence and offence roles.
I've been big into FPSs for over a decade now (Quake, Doom, HL, Unreal) and I have to say that TF2 is my favourite ever. It's possibly peeking into 'Best Game Ever' territory for me.
Not bad for the £20 or whatever it cost me.
