"EA GAMES!"...that was the first thing that came out of my mouth when I saw the cover art for TimeSplitters Future Perfect a while back. Now, as much as I love EA GAMES, I have to admit I was worried about the TimeSplitters series when I saw it changing publisher. Now all I can say is, "Congratulations Free Radical on another spectacular game!" Eidos, EA, it makes no difference. The boys at Free Rad have done it again. Its been a considerable time since the last installment in the series but the other day I found myself picking up right where I left off in TimeSplitters 2. This made me very happy, to say the least. Some minor and major changes have been made to the series and believe me that their all for the best. The graphics still have some what of a cartoony look to them but have been made to look more realistic. The controls are tighter, as if to say the previous game's weren't, sheesh. Things just don't stop getting better do they? Technically, Future Perfect is the most impressive game I have ever seen. It's framerate is blistering, it sounds fantastic, the animations and effects are wonderful, and best of all the characters actually seem alive. Sure the A.I. in the last game was good, but this time, it is SO much better. The characters take cover, talk to you constantly, never to the point of being annoying, and the look absolutley great. The game's story is also very interesting and captivating, making for a more memorable experience. Where as TimeSplitters 2 dropped you into random time periods to abliterate everything in your way, Future Perfect drops you into random time periods to abliterate everything in your way, for a purpose. I won't give away the story but I assure you it is very awesome. Whether your infiltrating a train yard with 60's super spy, Harry Tipper, or blasting apart zombies in a haunted house, Future Perfect is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end. One of the biggest changes I should point out are that TimeSpitters now has blood...tons and tons of blood. It is gory, gratuious and I love it. This truely adds to the hightened realism the series is seeming to strive for. However, never fear fellow TimeSplitters fans, the classic humor from the previous titles is still intact and funnier than ever. Future Perfect is...well, a perfect mix of both seriousness and humor. Just when you begin to get frustrated, an in-game voice well ease your tension. For example, when I was being timed to hack a computer and becoming just a little frustrated, another Cortez yelled "Hey I know it sucks, I've have to do it twice already!" and the two more chime in, "Me too!" Thats right people, I said another Cortez. Future Perfect allows you to meet yourself through time paradoxes, either a future you or a past you. In either case you'll be helping youself out, and will eventually play out the situation through both perspectives. Not only will you meet up with yourself but many memorable characters return to the series, including Captain Ash, Jungle Queen, Kitten Celeist, Khallos, Jo Beth, monkey, and the previously metioned, Harry Tipper. And thats just in the single player game. Dinosaur, Handy Man, Duckman Drake, and many others return to the insane multiplayer portion of Future Perfect that will have you battling it out in various modes across some of the best multiplayer maps ever. Siberia focuses on wide open combat, allowing players to get into vehicles while most of the other maps allow for more classic FPS action. The multiplayer maps are very diverse, from Vietnam to a swinging 60's club, the mayhem will never end. As in TimeSplitters 2, two players can play the whole single player mode cooperativley and all levels can be challenged on different difficulties. Some classic weapons return to the series with a couple modifications such as the minigun, shotgun, and SBP 90. The new weapons are just plain awesome, double MP5k's, a baseball bat, harpoon gun, and trip mines, to name only a few. You can now throw grenades and use a device on your arm to lift object to hurdle at people. This seems very much like a Jedi using the force and is quite useful for reaching things at high locations. The arcade modes and challenges are up to the previous game's standards and are sure to not not dissapoint...I mean come on, who doesn't want to race a wheeled cat around a race track. As in the last game, Future Perfect manages to pay homage to GoldenEye with a similar train mission. Also, Chinese, Mexican Mission, and Training Ground from TimeSplitters 2 have been revamped, unfortunatly, they just dont feel the same. But thats why new maps have been made. TimeSplitter Future Perfect is a game I would honestly and gladly pay much more than 50 dollars for and is truly one of the best games I have ever played. Time to Split!
Thanks for Reading.

it's time to split!

yeah, that is pretty corny....anyway...

i just beat Timesplitter: Future Perfect on easy difficulty in the story mode in just a shade under 4 hours. which is pretty long in terms of story modes for timesplitters games. i haven't even touched the other 14 or so modes yet, and i heard that there are over a hundred hours of gameplay to be lost in this game, so it should keep me, and you, busy for a while.

to start off with, the major changes i noticed since the last game came out, is that the graphics seem much sharper, the controls are much tighter, and the weapons are much cooler. when i first threw a time grenade (i think that's what it's called) and everything slowed down except me, i almost laughed out loud at how freakin' cool it was. and in this timesplitters, for the first time in the series, there is actually blood! in one level you must decapitate a bunch of zombies, with either a magnum, shotgun, or a baseball bat (oh, and there is a new and quite useful melee attack, for when you want to conserve ammo), and when their melons pop, it makes a cool "head exploding sound" and blood sprays everywhere. but no fear, the game still retains its comic humor and graphics.

their is actually a storyline this time that pulls you in, and pushes you through every wormhole you see. the main character you play as is one Cortez, a Vin Diesel lookalike winner. shortly into the game, you run into yourself, literally. then throughout the game, you keep running into other versions of yourself that help you out in order for you to get further and do that same thing for yourself, so you are actually the version of Cortez that helped you out in the first place. confused? don't be, the game makes it very easy to comprehend. the story follows Cortez as he makes his way through time, trying to stop the Timesplitters (evil alien things that can, well...split time and travel about history at their own free will) from destroying mankind. along the way, Cortez runs into all different kinds of interesting characters, from a British boatman/saver of a damsel in distress, to a punk-esque girl trying to work her way into a club, but first she must photograph zombies and other scary things. about halfway through the game, you meet up with a robot that just doesn't leave your side for very long...but don't worry, he's pretty damn funny. and that's another thing about this game, this time around, the computer controlled allies that fight along side you actually fight and help you out, they don't get stuck on walls and freeze mid-battle for some unknown reason.

like i said, i haven't touched the challenge mode or anything yet, but if it's anything like the series' past challenge mode, then i should be in for quite a treat. i can also create my own story and arcade mode levels using the game's map-maker. there are over 150 characters to unlock in this game, and tons of different ways to unlock them.

so, if you like fast-paced, hilarious, ass-kicking, run and gun action while travelling through time and giving yourself a hand, then pick up Timesplitters: Future Perfect. trust me, you will have a blast. okay, now, i'm off to go delve deep into a sleepless night of timesplitter dispatching. ciao.

Insane amount of extras

This game is amazing. The controls are so responsive. The controls are even better than some of the games that were released after Future Perfect. The game has an interesting plot and plenty of humor. Many people complain about the puzzle part of the game....it's one puzzle. it adds an interesting twist to the plot and it isn't that difficult. BUT this is the kicker for me. Once i've beaten a game i usually never go back because there's nothing left to do. I've won. BUT this game has so many extra silly, serious and fun levels, different characters.... the list goes on forever.

Just about OK

The story mode is prety bad, but if you like Halo, you'll love the arcade mode. It's pretty similar - guns lying about with lots of bots to kill....

Pleasant Surprise

I've never played the TS series before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Great game. Hours of playtime already invested and I've only completed 3.7% of the game! There is no option to turn the gore off, though.

Better than.... the best. ?

This is by far the best Timpesplitter realeased.
The Graphics are unbelievable, and the storyline is great.
This game will have you hooked, because after you beat the 1P story mode, there are plenty of extra challenges for you to beat and unlock some new hilarious characters for use in Multiplayer mode.
So, if Cortez's new sense of humor doesn't keep you hooked, the extra features and gameplay will. :P

Great Game All Around

Timesplitters is a great game. It has fun challenges, a good campaign mode, and tons of multiplayer options. If you like fps, then Future Perfect is the game for you.

I've been a fan of the franchise since it came out in 2000 with the Playstation 2 launch. The games have always been fun, addictive, nad better than any first person shooter I've played (yes, even both Halo's). Great story line, great gameplay, and hundreds of challenges to complete. You can even create your own map and share it online with other players. This is the best fps I've played and I'm still playing it.

Comedy and Action At It's Gaming Finest

I read someone hated this game because a character "took God's name in vain" during the first mission. Give me a break. If you are going to be offended by something stupid like that, you shouldn't be playing most action titles these days, which contain a good helping of adult themes and language. "TS:FP" doesn't fall into this catagory, though. Granted, it isn't a kiddy title or contain the expletive language like that found in "GTA: San Andreas". The adult element concerns gun violence and the CG blood when NPCs bite the bullet. I really enjoy a good first person shooter and "TS:FP" is well worth having if you do as well. It has beautifully smooth graphics (which might make some people motion sick), a decent storyline (not spectacular, but good enough), superb voice acting and some laugh-out-loud moments. I'm playing through the single player game again right now on hard and it is just as fun the second time around. The mixture of time periods, locations and NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) really spice up the game a lot. As for the humor, it isn't as hilarious as the awesome "Psychonauts" or the great Ratchet & Clank titles, but what there is in the game will definitely give you some good laughs along with all the action. The "Resident Evil"-style mission in and below a haunted mansion is one of my favorite areas. Made me jump a few times when I didn't see a zombie quick enough. Something only the first RES.EVIL game managed to do years ago. In short, this is an awesome title well worth investing your gaming time in for all the action, comedy and graphical adventure it can give. There isn't a negative side to "TS:FP". If you read one, ignore it.

For a Good Time, Play Me

The first word that comes to mind when I think of this game is...SWEEEEEEEEEET!!! I was impressed with the game before I even started playing the story mode. How? Well, the fact that you can customize the controls the way you want to is a great option. That earned this game a star right away.

Do I even need to tell you about the graphics? They're SWEEET. Did I already use that adjective? Well, I'm using it again. I always loved their cartoonish style, and in this edition they're better than ever. Also, the addition of blood was a nice touch.

Gameplay is very fluent. There's plenty of action and I like the characters I interact with. Checkpoints are smartly placed at regular intervals and the ability to set different difficulty levels gives it great replay value. I've only played through four missions, but I can tell that this is easily the best shooter on the PS2 this year, so far. There are no flaws. I give it 5 stars!
