The game received "favorable" reviews according to the [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[GameRankings]].<ref name="GameRankings"/>

''[[GameSpot]]'' considered the game to be an almost perfect balance between gameplay, online connectivity, and speedy performance. The multiplayer gameplay drew comparisons with [[NovaLogic]]'s ''[[Delta Force (video game)|Delta Force]]'', with good visuals and customizable weapon loadouts. The maps were highlighted as being wonderfully rendered, with seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. The site's criticisms included the difficulty in conducting long-range combat, a lack of close-combat weapons, and the queues that form at weapon consoles. They felt that ''Tribes'' would have benefited from a stronger training mode and better handling of scores and statistics.<ref name="gamespot"/> The website later chose the game as one of "The Greatest Games of All Time" in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-greatest-games-of-all-time-tribes/1100-6122837/ |title=The Greatest Games of All Time - Tribes |last=Colayco |first=Bob |date=15 July 2005 |website=GameSpot |publisher=CBS Interactive |access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' said, "''Tribes'' has the design and the technology to be the next standard in Internet action gaming. There are over 100+ servers available (all free) and more are popping up all the time. This is the first of a new breed of game and we can't recommend it enough."<ref name="NGen"/>
