TimeSplitters 2

TIMESPLITTERS 2

Oh no! Not another PS2 Review! Well deal with it.

GENERAL INFO

Let's get this out into the open. Timesplitters2 (TS2) is a weird game. Original, but weird. Oh yeah, it's a First Person Shooter by the way. You play as a kooky dude named Seargant Cortez. You and your female compainion gatecrash a party upon the spacestation owned by the Timesplitters, and evil race of of beings that can travel through time with the aid of a Stargate type thingy, which is apparently powered by 9 time crystals.
Just as you bust in and start capping heads, the Timesplitters escape through the stargate thang with the time crystals in hand. While the connection is still active, you jump into the force field, travel throyugh time, and set out to retreive the time crystals, thus removing the stargate's power source and ending the Timesplitter's reign of evil forever! [Deep breaths]
Told you it was weird.

LEVELS

You have to travel to the 9 times zones...

THE GOOD:
~The graphics
~The game play
~The many game modes
~Fun

THE BAD:
~Story is a bit weak
~A bit to cartoony for some

SUMMARY:
The PS2 has another great game for you guys to play, it is also very addictive. This game at first did look a bit dodgy but I looked at what it got out of the Official Aussie Mag and it got 9.3 /10 which is really good.
I got the game thinking that it would just be an average game, but I was wrong, this game is awesome.

The game play is the major asset I look for in a game, as a game could have crap graphics but it is fun to play. This game however has really fun game play that will last you for a long time. There are many different modes such as Story mode, Arcade league, Arcade custom , challenge mode and map maker mode.

Story mode can be a single game or you can take 4 of your buddies and kick ass. There are only 10 missions though for you to choose...

THE GOOD:
Plenty of weapons<br>Over 100 playable characters<br>Tons of modes and stuff to get stuck into<br>Fantastic multiplayer<br>Good single-player aswell<br>Story mode's music is good<br>Very good graphics<br>Laugh at people in the game

THE BAD:
Hardcore gamers only<br>No jump button<br>You'll get bored. How?<br>Needs a war level<br>Story ain't great<br>

SUMMARY:
This game is fantastic! This is the best first-person shooter on the PS2.I've never played Timesplitters 1 but I felt I needed to buy this game. Why, because the graphics are colourful and crisp and playing this is brill. Just whipping out a shotgun, shooting the zombie's head and then his head flys off! Great. Compared to games like Red Faction or Medal of Honour this game beats them by a few miles. Story mode is good fun if you alone but it only has ten levels. Multiplayer is...

Here we are, the second in the series, is it better then before? The simple answer is yes! You may be wondering how they have improved on such a good game, it will all be explained!

The gameplay is great with 10 story levels that range from Siberia to a Robot Factory that span across a large time area. 10 levels may not seem much but play it on hard and just the story will take a sleepless weekend. Stick it on easy and you will polish it off in an hour or so, but that is know fun is it? Once you do manage to complete the story there is then the challenge mode, which has well over 50 increasingly harder things to complete which some are so stupid that you will be playing them for hours. Simple thing like smashing 20 windows in less than 30 seconds using a brick! You would think no fun, but there is!

Now after all the challenges there is more, only 3 arcade leagues with 15 matches in each. In these it is another simple but fun tasks such as kill 40 people in...

Lumpy here. Been playing this game in excess of 2 weeks now and still thrilled to bits with it. A sensational environment and radical tuneage really set the mood for the story missions or for one of the many arcade games. Not only does it run smoothly with an awesome storyline the mind boggling array of game types it has to offer is... well mind boggling!

From the classic 'Deathmatch' and the strangely named 'Capture The Bag' to the insane 'Flame Tag', the deadly 'Virus' and the humourous yet lethal 'Shrink' there is a game mode to suit everyone's needs. And the mini games are fun, if a little inappropiate. In the middle of an intense shootout you can decide to start playing Anaconda if your whim so desires.

Add to that a wide variety of fun challenges (who doesn't want to shatter stained glass windows in a church and not get into trouble for it?) and a well designed reward system that allows you to unlock new characters, levels and cheats, ultimately...

THE GOOD:
- Graphics
- Gameplay
- Weapons
- Characters
- Co-op Story mode
- Music
- 117 playable characters!

THE BAD:
- Short story mode
- no jump function
- not enough maps

SUMMARY:
This game is just about perfect... its sooo close but there are only a few things that lag it right behind perfection.. The story mode is fun but the problem is its short. Could use a jump function and more maps though either way.. THIS GAME KICKS ASS!
It is soo much fun to play it with friends.. good amount of weapons is a good thing oh yes and the comic mischeif. This game is fun entertaining although it may kind of diss a couple of games if you notice, but this game is still good.. This game is all good but if theres a TS 3 be assured i will try it out first hand.

THE GOOD:
- Graphics
- multiplayer modes
- the weapons
- the time periods, like wild west, gangsta chicago, far future
- the challenges are really fun and well..challenging

THE BAD:
-the story is....well theres not much of it, and they promised a cool story
- i want more weapons(even though the ones they included are cool)
- some challenges are really impossible
- the story mode is way too short and simple

SUMMARY:

This a great game if you have alot of frieds over and you want to kill each other in a game, or maybe you just want to play 2 player co-operation you could do that too. Though there is almost no story in the game, at least the fun challenges kind of make up for it. IF your looking for more of a single player first person shooter, get Nightfire or REd fAciton 2. This game is best enjoyed with 2 or more people.

THE GOOD:
It seems real cool. color is super good.

THE BAD:
may look lame. sounds stupid. it is not all that cool. needs better graphics. should be darker.must have dark places.

SUMMARY:
it is the bomb.it is better than any other game ever could be. should do better in the ratings. seems better than most games. has good graphics. better than spyro. i like it alot. i need not play it looks so cool. lame name. could be better. should have more characters. i tkink people should buy this game.maybe two. i want it. i would buy this game and never ever sellit because it is so cool. the best game ever made in the history of games. it should be the most asked for game of the century. if it is not pepole are crazy. i love this game. who would not love this game? ithink every one should buy it. i would buy it for every one if i cold.

THE GOOD:
Everything! Mostly I would say the multiplayer mode. It way better than Halo's multiplayer, cause' TS2 has more stages and weapons and is much more enjoyable when playing with friends! Also, the MapMaker. This cool stage building tool was a really good idea!

THE BAD:
Hmmm... I would have to say the actual story in the one player game. It could have been alot more exciting with a more detailed story. They have us jumping from one level to the next with a differant story for each one. Not very nice indeed.

SUMMARY:
Basicaly, this is a great overall game! Don't worry about it being too easy to complete, cause it'll take you ages to get absolutly everything in TS2. The graphics are a joy to look at, sound and music are wonderfully crafted, and the stages couldn't be better! It is obvious that alot of work has been put into this game, and it's well worth the money if you are planning to shell out some dough...

THE GOOD:
Replay value, weapons, characters, multiplayer

THE BAD:
Story Mode's not great

SUMMARY:
Timesplitters 2 is one of the best FPS' there is in my opinion. The other PS2 FPS' such as Quake III and Red Faction can't compare with it. There are a lot of cool characters and levels to unlock. There is a vast amount of awesome weapons to choose from. The replay value is amazing in TS2. There is so much to do and unlock. Even just playing a good old Deathmatch never gets tiring. The story mode isn't the best, but still decent and fun to play. There are a bunch of fun game modes. Like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Vampire, Flame Tag, and a lot more. It's especially fun if you have 2 or 3 friends come over and play multiplayer. Story Co-op is fun, but an all out fragfest is the best.

Overall rating- 4.8/5
