This review is from: TimeSplitters 2 (Video Game)

This is one fast-paced FPS. The arcade mode is huge fun for just one player, or two (4-player split-screen is best) . It has lots of different game types (death match, team death match, capture the bag, team capture the bag, shrink, flame tag, virus, loose change, vampire, assault, gladiator and monkey assistant, a death match in which the player with the lowest score has a squad of monkeys with guns to help out) and a ton of different characters to choose from. Sgt. Cortez, Riot Officer, Sewer Zombie, Lady Jane, Mister Giggles, Gingerbread Man, Jungle Queen, Duckman Drake, Snowman and Monkey are only a few of them. There is also a challange mode that has you smashing stain glass windows with a grenade launcher one minute and fending off endless hordes of zombies the next. The story mode is not very interesting, but it is fun to play 2-player co-op.

I love the TimeSplitters series. You get to go through all sorts of periods of time - from modern space times to ancient times - blasitng away at the bad guys.

There are a TON of weapons available on each level, each more fun than the previous one. You can single and double wield depending on the weapon type. As you move along your route, you get checkpoints, to keep your progress going. There are enemies with invisibility cloaks, turrets to blast away from, and MUCH more.

The comparisons with Halo are inevitable - especially in the modern time scenes. In many ways this is a great comparison, given how popular and well-designed Halo is. You get plasma grenades that stick to people, teammates that cover you, and generally good graphics. The cloaked characters give you just a hint of dark cloud to watch for.

The lead guy is very XXX-style and reluctantly goes on his time-hopping adventures. The voices are reasonably good - not great, but not really awful either.

The textures in the locations aren't great - but they're reasonable. There are details like worn wooden chairs and patches on the walls. The health and shield bars only appear when you're injured. I'd like it better if they were always on the screen in a corner, less annoying.

It's especially fun in co-op mode, taking on the bad guys with a friend. Multiplayer is GREAT fun - the collection of maps is amazing, and you can even make your own!

Some of the dialogue is really funny, and in general it's a shoot-em-up game with a wide variety of weapon choices, locations and enemies.

Well recommended!

I have this on PS2 but you cant get it on here or something. This is probably my favourite game of all time it is just mad! The characters are great my favorites are (the ones I play as most) Sgt.Cortez, Capt.Snow, Capt.Forest, Riot Officer and Braces. the story mode is fantastic with about 10 levels first is Siberia set in 199o which is an easy level. Next is Chicago in 1930's where you have to go through the streets help Marco(who takes ages) get back to his apratment without being shot, get the nightclub pass and go to the club to kill Big Tony which is easy cuz I get double tommy guns from the entrance and jsut kill him. next is Notre dame which is good where you have to go through a church killing zombies. Then is Planet X which is where you have to kill these aliens or something. then neo Tokyo which is bare hard cause you have to follow this hacker to there base without being seen by the security cameras in the street cause you are being chase by coppas for some reason. then wild west which is bare easy and you have to kill the colonel. Atom Smasher is in 1972 you play as Harry tipper and have to go through khallos compund(or somethin) and kill all the henchmen and them him, it is very hard. Aztec ruins is hard cause you have to kill these stone golems which is hard. Robot factory is pretty hard. The last level Space Station set in 2401 is great cause you have to get out of there before it blows up.

ow the weapons there is Garret revolvers, soviet 47's, Tactcial 12 gauge, snipers, minguns, shotguns, Rocket launchers, homing launchers, mines and other sick weapons.

there is a whole load of characters about 55 it takes ages to get em all so beware. there is many arcade modes to do, Deathmatch, team Deathmatch, Capture the bag, Flametag, gladiator and other modes. the arcade levels are tight.

Mexican Mission-a mexican theme(duh) i give this 8/10 cause of the layout
Ice station-A massive building in the center with loads of snowand other buildings 10/10
Hospital-A dark gloomy old hospital good for hiding 10/10
training ground-an amry base type thing good for turrets and shooting from far away 10/10
Aztec-a jungle leevl 7/10 for the confusing layout
Scrapyard-a futuristic scrapyard with laserguns and other weapons like that. 9/10
Nightclub-A mafia club with a confusing layout again 6/10
Hangar-An air base good for rocket launchers 9.5/10
Robot Factory-8/10
Ufopia-An alien base 9/10
Chinese-A big restraunt which is great-10/10
Chasm-This is great cause you can blow people up on the other side and stuff 9/10
Streets-This is good 10/10
Compound-Not too big butgood 9/10
Site- I havent unlocked this but played it its a building site-8/10
Circus-Nah I dont liek this 6/10

Overall this a one of da best games ever so buy it-event hough number 3 is out soon.

10/10

And thats all I have to say about that
