In many ways better than Halo - Reviewed on 2008-07-23

Timesplitters 2 is an amazing game and very fun to play for many reasons, one of them being the game has soo many characters you can play as in multiplayer mode! A large amount of these characters have to be unlocked, and it's no easy task to do so, but you'll have a lot of fun collecting them all--- or just get extremely frustrated in some cases.

The story mode is good, and some levels are more fun than others. Each level takes place in a different time period. One level you'd be in the past, the next in the future somewhere. Some of my favorite levels to play are:

Siberia
Notre Dame
Neo Tokyo
Wild West

The weapons are terrific and there are loads to use! And if you don't like using guns you could always use a brick, if you manage to unlock it.

There is more to this game than just the Story mode. With most games, all they have is Story and Multiplayer, and nothing more. But in Timesplitters 2 you can play the Challenges and Arcade League games, and depending on how well you did on the games, you'll get bronze, silver, gold, and maybe even platinum trophies! Arcade League and Challenge is also the main way to unlock new maps, weapons, fun cheats, and characters.

It can be boring playing a game by yourself sometimes, and if you have no one around that wants to play with you there is an option where you can turn on BOTS! Although bots can't replace a real person, it's a big plus that they have bots that you can play against. I absolutely hate it when a game doesn't have a bot option (Halo).

TM2 has a lot of game modes to play, such as Capture the bag, bag tag, deathmatch. My absolute favorite game mode is Virus. In Virus, you are supposed to try and evade the infected (those surrounded in green fire) for as long as possible, and if you do get infected you are then supposed to infect others.

Perhaps the only problem with this game is the fact that you can't jump. Although that doesn't really bother me much, but for some it might. It is kinda unfair that the bots can dive but you can't though...

Overall, I enjoy playing this game and would recommend it if you are looking for a fun and addicting game.

I reccomend you peeps' to buy this game, it will blow your mind! It's easy, fun, and full of action and entertainment (i like to go to the street level and be private coal and play with my friend and fend off evil able-to-be decapitated zombies, with my bare fists, crossbows, or bricks!)
Very fun to play, but doesnt look the best - Reviewed on 2006-01-28

Positive:

Id rent it first, but i will say that i think most of the readers of this review will find this game pretty fun and definitely worth it for $20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one fast-paced FPS. The arcade mode is huge fun for just one player, or two (4-player split-screen is best) . It has lots of different game types (death match, team death match, capture the bag, team capture the bag, shrink, flame tag, virus, loose change, vampire, assault, gladiator and monkey assistant, a death match in which the player with the lowest score has a squad of monkeys with guns to help out) and a ton of different characters to choose from. Sgt. Cortez, Riot Officer, Sewer Zombie, Lady Jane, Mister Giggles, Gingerbread Man, Jungle Queen, Duckman Drake, Snowman and Monkey are only a few of them. There is also a challange mode that has you smashing stain glass windows with a grenade launcher one minute and fending off endless hordes of zombies the next. The story mode is not very interesting, but it is fun to play 2-player co-op.
