This is the greatest first-person shooter ever followed closely by Timesplitters 1. The multyplayer is fantastic with no mess-ups. The story improved very much. The game allows you to choose tons of characters,
weapons, game modes, and levels. You can also play with 3 friends in 4-player multiplayer. You can also add 10 computer players.
A must for PS2 owners, but for multiplayer

This game is probably the best game I ever owned on PS2 and Im writing about it 4 years after I first owned it, thats how good it is. Although people are right, its meant to be played with friends. If you have 2-4 people this game is unbelievable, yeah you can play solo and its still fun but what takes this game to the next level is its multiplayer fun. You will literally spend hours playing this game with your friends in one sitting. Buy now its so cheap!
Not so good these days, go for Future Perfect instead

There are some points I'd like to make clear before I go any further. One, it's now 2007 so it's been a while since this was released. Two, I only tried single-player story mode before stopping (more later). Three, I LOVED TS: Future Perfect.
I definitely seem to be in a different corner from other reviewers. Generally people love this game. After 3 levels of single-player mode, I realized it was pi**ing me off more than providing fun.
Looks aren't a problem. Unless your a graphics fetishist there's nothing to complain about how it looks, even today. Not too blocky, nice environments, smooth framerate.
The problem for me arises in the actual gameplay. First, I hate aiming with my thumb, and prefer a fixed site that moves with you until you choose a zoom sight for, say, a rifle. This sight is hard to zero in with and almost impossible to use on a moving target. Choose not to use aiming mode and who knows where your shots will land? If you're happy thumbing it, then it won't be a problem for you.
But over and over I found the missions (played on medium difficulty) to be obnoxious. The save system sucks big time, and you too often find yourself playing an entire level over and over again if you mess up. There are checkpoints here and there, but you lose them if you have to quit. I don't always want, or have the time, to play through an entire level. Granted, they aren't horribly long, but I'm the type of player who likes to take his time and look around. If you're the blow-through-as-fast-as-I-can type, it might not be a problem for you. I just put it away in frustration after getting tired of failing several times for no apparent reason on the 3rd mission (the "rescue the girls from zombies" one).
That's about the gist of it for me. With other reviews being so glowing it may be that I just don't "fit" the game. Or, maybe, having played Future Perfect first ruined it for me. Still, that doesn't remove the frustration factor from this one. Sad, that, since, as I said at the beginning, I absolutely love love LOVE Future Perfect. That game really has it all! If you haven't played either this or Future Perfect, I strongly recommend FP but you might want to rent this one (if you can find it) or buy it very cheap.

I have to say I was a bit hesitate to write a review for this game at the risk of sounding incredibly redundant. Just about every review on here will lead you to believe TimeSplitters 2 is one heck of a game. I just felt compelled to throw in my two cents and entirly agree with the 5 star reviews.
TimeSplitters 2, although aging is still a wonderful first person shooter. Devoloped by the same team that brought us GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, TS2 is everything a first person shooter should be, and then some. The game may just take you by suprise offering uncountable extras and numerous ways to play. I believe that if you've been searching long and hard for a outstanding shooter, you've come to the end of your search. This game is truly one of the best games money can but, 4 years old or not.
Thanks for reading.
bought this game a few years bak...

definetly one of the best if not the best ps2 games i own. the graphiks are smooth, (the best way i kan deskribe them) tons of charakters to get, so u definetly wont get bored playing alone, but multiplayer mode is where this game is really, really fun. i have very few problems with this game, the fakt that there isnt ne blood takes away slightly from the satisfaktion in a kill sometimes, but that kould be just me... neway i must say i am very satisfied with this game!
Arguably the best game I ever bought...

This is a great game. Single player mode I would give it a 3, but once you start plaing with your brother and cousins it's the best shoot em up game ever. I have invested over a 170 hours into this game and I finally unlocked the last character a couple months ago ago. And I still have story mode (level expert) to complete. It has a ton of computer characters including a monkey, duck, and gingerbread man. It has real weapons like the luger pistol, and futuristic weapons such as the electro tool. There are tons of games to choose from in arcade mode, the best of which are elimination (set number of lives, lose them all you're dead till end of match), Death match and Team Death match (clasic kill em all), virus (one character starts with the virus, as he touches others it spreads, last uninfected wins), and capture the bag (captire the flag with weapons and a bag). This game will keep you busy for a LONG time. And it's addictive. I still bring this out for a round every now or then. Overall, 100 stars 5 thumbs up buy buy buy!!!!
THE BEST MULTI GAME EVER

I don't think I have to say much, the fact that it has 4.5 stars overall should mean somthing to you. Anyway, me and my friend played this game [on gamecube] for hours on end and I STILL love it. Multiplayer is the best I have EVER played. Pick it up today, I promise you won't be disapointed....
great game

Breathtaking graphics, hundreds of choices as far as characters and weapons are concerned, varying from a monkey to a colonel and a rocket launcher to a luger pistol, and available four person play make this a must for any video game fan. Timesplitters 2 provides hours upon hours of pure, shoot-'em-up action that never gets tiring. My favorite part about this game was that you could, and still can, always get better and it's not very easy the first time you play. Don't get descouraged; all good things come in time. So enjoy... and be amazed! =]
