The Best FPS EVER!!!

Let's start at the beginning. A few months ago, I passed by Timesplitters 2 on the shelves, simply because I was not interested in it. But I read the reviews, the TERRIFIC reviews of TS2. I knew that I had to get the game. Within about a day, I was hooked, and I was determined to get every character, level, and game mode. By now, I still have 25 characters to unlock, and several game modes. I have gotten every level. But note that TS2 is NOT an easy game. The story mode is a cinch, but in the later arcade missions, the game becomes damn near impossible! And the best characters come in the later arcade missions. But what is even tougher than later arcade missions are the later challenge missions. The name says it all. The challenge missions will challenge you and sometimes take a good day to beat, all for an extra character or level. The multiplayer game is great all in all, but let's not throw away the story missions, which are very fun as well. Similar to Eternal Darkness, a great Gamecube title, you will play through various levels set in differnt time periods. Some are 1932 Chicago, Notre Dame in the late 1800s, and even a fun shootout in the Wild West. I don't mean to insult, but the futuristic missions are tough and boring. My favorites are Chicago, whee you play as a detective trying to bust a greedy mob. The level is excellent, and it really feels like a gangster-ridden, seedy 1932 Chicago. Notre Dame is fun as well, where you play as a gypsy-like lady sent out to help a hunchback(of course!)free some maidens, and destroy an evil Jack the Ripper-like guy. The sound is great, and the music in each level is superb, along with good voice acting. The graphics' greatest weakness are also their greatest strength. The game looks semi-cartoony, but after a while the game looks pretty good, but definitely cannot compete with UT2003 or Resident Evil. Overall, Timesplitters 2 is the best game in my collection aside from GTA Vice City, and I love it! You will too if you loved Goldeneye, because the developers of Goldeneye designed this game. Remember Dr. Doak, any Goldeneye fans? The best FPS to come to come out for the PS2! My Rating:9.8!!

Don't you EVER think about missing out on this one!

This is one of the best, and most fun games to hit the playstation 2 in a long time. To start off, if you have ever played the first game and liked it, or have played Goldenye and liked it, then you should BUY this game. You will no doubt fall in love with this game. The controls are easy and don't take long to pick up. The graphics have improved 100% over the first game and the major keyword in this game is, VARIETY. This game has so many modes that you can be hooked for months. The other games don't compare. There is a story mode, 2 different kinds of arcade modes, a challenge mode, and a create a map mode. And the game constantly rewards you so that you will always want to keep playing. Even though the game lost its online play, there is still tons to like here. There are nearly twice as many levels as the first game, twice as many characters and twice as many "story" mode levels. Basically, if you love FPSs, this game will make you cry tears of joy. It's fast, fun, has tons of replay value, a blast with friends or alone and belongs on the list of the 5 best FPSs ever. Check it out.

Great Action Adventure Game That Never Dies On Me!

...Then came the original Timesplitters. It didn't really look that good. A few years pass, and Timesplitters 2 comes out. I was highly anticipating this one. They said the graphics had been upgraded and the weapons were cooler. It's true! When I got the game, the Story mode was great. I'm still stuck on NeoTokyo (the hardest level). Also, you will spend much time playing the "Arcade" levels.

An evil alien race (the Timesplitters) have gone back into different eras in time to defeat all mankind. You (co-op if you have a buddy) go back to Siberia, Chicago, Notre Dame, Planet X, NeoTokyo, Wild West, and many more places. You have to retrieve time crystals from these environments and bring them back.

Graphics - The graphics are very well done. Some think of them as cartoonish. Sure, the people do look funny when they scream or talk, but it's a game. Also, there is a lot of humor in this game. Anyway, the graphics are nice and crisp. I loved them!

Graphics - 99

Gameplay - It will take some getting used to for the controls. Play "Challenge" or "Arcade" first. Then play the Story mode. The Story mode is great. I like that and "Arcade".

Gameplay - 94

Weapons - The weapons in this game are pretty nifty. I like the minigun, shotgun, Garret revolver, flamethrower, and many more. They really updated the look of the weapons and they all have nice sounds when they shoot.

Weapons - 97

A.I. - The A.I. in this game is really good. They will duck and cover. If you throw mines on them, they will actually run away with the bomb (always fun to watch them explode!). Also, there are so many enemies. There are soldiers, cowboys, gangsters, aliens, and zombies (only way to kill them is to decapitate them!). Love the A.I.!

A.I. - 96

Environments - The environments in this game are really good. I like Chicago in the 1930's and Notre Dame. Chicago has all the gangsters that you get to shoot up. Notre Dame consists of zombies and one big monster in the end. I love the levels.

Environments - 94

Replay Value - I would play this game over again. It has a lot of cool things to do and many ways to do it. So, yah I would play it again!

Replay - 94

Violence - This game contains a lot of violence (burning people, decapitating zombies). There isn't any gore (except for heads rolling!), but there is a lot of violence. So parents, if you don't like violent games. Don't get this one for kids 8 and under!

Violence - HIGH

Overall - This is a great game. It has a great feel and you love to see what time era you are playing in next. You will love the weapons and the graphics. Remember though, there is a lot of violence.

Overall - 96/Awesome Game!

Rated Teen for strong violence and some very light gore.

TimeSplitters 2 Review

This game was GREAT!!! BUy it definitly if you want a spectacular multiplayer game to play with 3 (4 player) or 15 firends. The story mode is also very amazing in look and detail. The characters are a bit comical, instead of the usual sincere characters in games like Red Faction. The weapons are very realistic, not golden guns or 1 hit kill rocket launchers. This game can also allow you to create your own map to play against friends, so you know where to go and kill them easily. 5 is a low number to me to rate this game, but it is the highest of the stars, SO BUY THIS GAME!!!

This game is a must have.......

I have played the last Timesplitters quite a bit on the multiplayer side and this one is twice as good. 126 guys to unlock and choose from, lots of levels, cool map making, and great graphics. The single player is 100% better as well, making a great overall game.
The multiplayer is the reason why I bought the game and it hasn't disappointed. I haven't unlocked everything yet, but there are some many options, you sometimes don't know what to do. Some of the levels have remote guns that you can use or huge cannons that you can get behind and fire rockets at your buddy. Great stuff. Get this if you know what is good for you.

a great buy!

This is one of the best 1st person shooters I have ever experianced. It offers tons of modes to play in, with a vast array of levels. People who play the demo please listen: I must admit I played the demo at first ...), but trust me, the full game is SO MUCH more fun then the demo. The demo is half of level 1 in story mode; there is much more to the game than that. I have also played unreal'03 and compared the two. In my opinion, Timesplitters 2 is a much better buy. The only thing it lacks is no network capability, except the i.link cable. But other than that, it is a great game! A lot of people complain about the controls. Believe me: you will find the controls very easy after a little while, and come to realize that the comtrols for this game are the best choice for the PS2 controller. The graphics for this game are incredible, as are the sound effects. Well, I don't think I can say anything else; for all you shoot 'em up fans out there, this is the game for you!

Unbelievable Multiplayer, Average Single Player

If the majority of your gaming time is spent playing with friends, then you should definately get Timesplitters 2. There are 16 multiplayer modes, tons of levels, over 100 characters and the frame rate never dips below 60 FPS even during frantic multiplayer matches. Plus, if you're so lucky, you can hook up multiple PS2 systems and TVs and play with up to 16 players. Another great feature is a co-op mode in which you and a friend can relive the story mode of TS2. The only negative I've encountered with the multiplayer is that in the Assault mode you can never be on the defending team, a major disappointment for me. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you wouldn't have noticed it in the game (:
The single player story mode is average and nothing special. The story line is weak and the levels are short. However, the numerous arcade modes and challenges are entertaining.
Basically, if you're having a party or play videogames with friends, you need to get TS2 (note-at the outset only a few multiplayer modes are available-you need to put in about 2-3 hours of single player work to unlock all those modes).

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!

2 player 10. 1 player 7 (high10) (low1)
