This game was fun but the only thing that was'nt in this game was fire tag, omg fire tag was so very fun in time splinters2 but this game is still fun. I still play this game and i beat this long time ago the story mode was awsome to everything is awsome in this game, this game is very enjoyable and playing the computers in deathmatch and all those other unique stuff to do when you want to play the computers like virus thats like fire tag but a little different, so this is a great fun game.

Comparatively to Timesplitters 2, the game wasn't all that great, whereas TS2 was a great game. There seemed to be less "To Do" in Timesplitters: Future Perfect, less objectives, less hidden bonuses. Everything also seemed to be too easy.

PROS:
-This game included a GREAT Mapmaker system (In most ways, more advanced than the TS2 Mapmaker)
-The Multiplayer is a lot of fun. Above average on a FPS multiplayer scale.
-The graphics were pretty good, seemed more detailed than TS2

CONS:
-THE BIG ONE: This game WAS NOT Timesplitters 2, which was one of the best games I have EVER played.
-Easy game play makes for quick victory (Unless you like that)
-Storyline was too short and didn't fit together perfectly at all times (i.e. a better story, more missions, better acting, interesting twists)
-Arcade leagues were really short! There was too little to do!

more characters, new weapons, more maps (yahoo!)

More more MORE of the same in the series - and that's NOT bad! This is still the most fun multi-player FPS series I've played on the GameCube (any system, really, as I don't like most). My friends and I love the variety of hilarious characters and maps. I'm finding the missions a bit tougher than TS2, but I'm sure I'll get past and open most things soon enough.

My friends and I also enjoy making our own maps and some of the new features/tools are great and well implemented. I do have ONE major gripe though - we can't use/import maps we had made for the previous game (TS2) - and that's a HUGE let-down (BOO!) as I don't see why they couldn't have made them backwards compatible. Nevertheless, we're having fun all over again - and my friends love the Tron-looking VR levels. Excellent work overall - can't wait to see what they make for the Wii! Highly recommended.

Awesome Shooter

In short Timesplitters Future Perfect exceeds the quality standard of a normal Timesplitters game. The Graphics, Gameplay, Multi-player, and storyline are all very well done.

4.5 out of 5

Finally a hard game

Finally there is a "console" FPS game that matches the greatness of Perfect Dark.

I have been waiting for years for another good FPS game to come out on the consoles - heck even on the PC. Nightfire? NO!!! Turok Evolution? Good but nothing special. Doom 3? AMAZING but no decent multiplayer. Half Life 2? Step down from Doom 3 so definitely not. Halo, halo 2? Yeah right...im sick of those games. Timesplitters 2? Getting warmer...

...FINALLY the 3rd Timesplitters comes out, ironically by the makers of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, and because of this fact u can expect a lot of the same elements that made those two classic 64 games so f'ing great.

I dont need to get into it really. Nearly everyone and his/her mom has played Goldeneye and/or Perfect Dark so most everyone knows what to expect from a clone of those. I'll just say it this way (especially for those who loved PD's in-frickin-credible multiplayer mode): if u absolutely loved those games, have been waiting around for years for another game to come out like that, still a BIG fan of FPS, than you would be a FOOL to pass this game up. Imagine Perfect Dark with better graphics and no frame rate problems. Its unbelievable.

BUY this game. Happy fragging!!!

Disappointed

After Time Splitters 2, I was ready for an awesome new version of the game - or at least a heck of an upgrade. Didn't happen. This version is actually much less fun to play than Time Splitters 2. There is far less of the puzzle-solving element and far more of the run-and-gun FPS element. What I liked about TS2 was the creative way they combined these. What I dislike about TSFP is the way they basically abandon the puzzle piece. Very little thinking involved. Hence, very little challenge left. Plus, worst of all, the game is much SHORTER than its predecessor. It's as if they sort of gave up in the middle and just pushed something out the door. It's that old Woody Allen line about life (paraphrasing): It's full of pain, suffering, and disappointment; and it's all over much too soon.

If you haven't bought it, don't bother. Seriously.

WOW! Tons of fun!

Any game where you finding yourself screaming, "OH NO! Ninja assault monkeys!" is my kind of game. Admittedly, this is the ONLY game I've ever screamed that.

Even though I'm female, almost 50, and electronics challenged, I've had a GREAT time with my teenager and this game. I highly recommend it. :)

A Nearly Perfect Future (4.5 Stars)

Story: Timesplitters 3 takes place where TS2 led off: with Vin Diesel doppelganger, Sergeant Cortez, speeding towards a war-torn Earth, carrying the Time Crystals that can help save humanity from the growing threat of the Timesplitters (uglier than ever--seriously) and his partner Corporal Hart killed off in their last endeavor (the soldiers even make a quip about it in the first level). Once again, Cortez's mission is to jump from time period to period. This time, he is on the trail of another mysterious time traveller who could hold the secret to the Timesplitters' origins. Although not extremely complex, the story is laced much better than TS2's, thanks to improved cutscenes and sharper, more abundant dialogue. And it's got plenty of humor to keep you amused, ranging from silly conversations between the enemies to the blatant innuendo and double entendres, almost in the fashion of THUG 2 (Look at Jo-Beth Casey's shirt, as well as the opening cutscene in "What Lies Below").

Gameplay: TSFP, for the most part, is pretty much in the same vein as TS2. This isn't a bad thing, so for vets, it shouldn't take much to adjust. For newbs, in case you haven't guessed, this is a first-person shooter. Controls are quick to use, but are fully customizable to suit you. The objective is to....dag, where should I start?...well, lemme try again. Timesplitters 3 is all about variety, and there's an abundance of game modes to keep ever the staunchest Halo 2 addict satisfied. Story Mode puts you in the boots of Cortez as you travel through various time periods, utilizing the most lethal weapon of each era, from flare guns to plasma autorifles to baseball bats. Your only definite gadget is the Temporal Uplink (map/radar) on your arm, which doubles as a gravity device for objects to throw or carry. You'll team up with characters such as the swinging Harry Tipper, the adventurous Captain Ash, and the valley girl Jo-Beth Casey. Missions range in stealth, bodyguarding, collecting, and good ol' shootouts. There are even some vehicles to switch things up, though backing up will take some getting used to.

If you're not kicking @$$ and taking names through the story, you'll probably be spending most of your time in Arcade mode. For loners, there's the one-player Arcade League, a series of tournament-style competitions with special (sometimes absurd) rules. Depending on your score or time, you'll get a trophy and a prize, from characters (150 in all!!) to cheats (like human gun sounds). Challenge mode works in a similar way, except with more psychotic quests. Like driving a motorized cat around a building rooftop (the motor is made up of different pitches of purring). Hilarious. But if you actually got friends, THERE's where the party starts. Arcade Mode is your multiplayer outlet, with about a dozen modes to keep the bullets flying and the beer a-guzzlin'. YEE-HAH!! Whoa...toooo much Blue Collar TV. Anyway, there are plenty of stages (vibrant disco, lush temple, Vietnam warzone), tons of weapons and skins (characters w/hysterical entrances) to choose from. I mean c'mon: a capture the bag match on the Siberian Dam against an onslaught of circus bears is just pure bliss. There's also a co-op mode for the story, like the last game. And hey, if you don't like what Free Radical's giving to ya, then make your own map, story, and scenarios with the newly enhanced MapMaker. A shooter's dream come true.

Graphics: The visuals in this game are much improved compared to the previous Timesplitters installments. It still has its slightly cartoonish look, so it's not Doom 3 in terms of lighting. Not like TSFP is trying to be. Still, the textures and animations are much more smoothed out, while the framerate, for the most part, runs pretty fluidly, even on multiplayer. But I did notice a few random glitches that make it more resemblant of a PC shooter, meaning that there will be some freeze-ups here or there, especially during certain points of the MapMaker. Fortunately it's not frequent, but stil annoying for a console game. If it happens to you, check what triggered it and try not to repeat that mistake without saving. Just a tip.

Sound: TSFP comes out pretty strong with its audio presentation. The background music is appropriate for each time period and location, ranging from techno to orchestral, with little novelty themes such as "Like A Robot" (and the inevitable remix "Like A Monkey") to sweeten the deal. Weapons sound....well, like weapons. There are even subtle bytes that make the package work, like the clank a robot makes if it is hit by a melee attack. And naturally, the voice acting is top-notch (need I say funny) from Cortez's macho-manly swagger to Harry Tipper's raspy but mellowed-out "hippie" jive, with a snappy script to boot. Although I did notice that the talking didn't always go along with the subtitles.

Lasting Appeal: C'mon people. 150 characters? Multiplayer nirvana? More weapons than Halo 2? A mapmaker? What more could you want from this glorious package?...well, ONLINE PLAY would be nice. Being a staunch supporter for Nintendo, this didn't usually bother me. But now it's starting to make me wonder WTF is going on. I mean, this is the perfect game to play with people you don't even know from miles away. And the best online outlet I've got is Starcraft for my PC (don't hate). PS2 and X-Box owners will still be able to gloat. Other than that, well...you're set for probably hours and hours and...I don't know. I'm not an authorized source; I don't keep track of the time.

Overall, what did you expect from the developers of Goldeneye? You owe it to yourself to pop this baby into your console, and as Dr. Lancet would say, "unleash the @$$kickulator!"
