this game is fucking awesome
spent less time with this but still fun
No other game has let me stick an explosive mine on my brother's face so there's that.
This was fun. The story wasn't as cohesive with each level being more stand alone. Controls were still a little squirrelsy but it was fine. Stuck to normal since the mission structure could still be cumbersome with little direction given to what you need to do.
Absolutely underrated multiplayer gem. Genuinely loved this even more than Goldeneye.
This game reminds me a lot of animations made in source filmmaker, in a good way. Every character and their movements are filled with expression, the game itself has a very unique style that makes it stand out among its competition. I'm sure that to play this game with other people most be way more entertaining than alone (Not that it wasn't). TimeSplitters 2 is filled with content and it can keep you hooked a long time. It's a good game, but I can see why it isn't more popular. The controls can be confusing or hard to use, the hard mode itself is very very difficult (It makes sense, but it can be enfuriating), the last level and planet x level can be very confusing considering the fact that since the game offers no direction whatsoever you can spend all the time in the counter (In the last mission) running around aimlessly. Overall it was pretty good, eventually I'll play Future Perfect, the one I have fond memories of my childhood with, let's see if it stands up to the nostalgia.
Heehoo recently replayed this bad boy and I still luv it <3
I need to go back to this FPS gem and complete its campaign cooperatively with a friend or family member.
This was a classic on the PS2 and a ton of fun... I liked the graphics and all the different eras you go to during the campaign. Gives you quite a wide assortment of guns as each level you play you are jumping through time. Music is shockingly good too.
Super challenging from what I remember, even coming from someone who is relatively decent at the FPS genre (or at least I was... but probably not anymore...).

I played this for a decent amount of time and liked it way more than Goldeneye stylistically and gameplay wise although they’re both cut from the same cloth. This could very well be a skill issue, but I died a ton which eventually demotivated me to continue or some other game grabbed my attention. Either way I do want to return to this and maybe finish it. This sounds like a game I’d want to emulate on dolphin with keyboard controls.
Didn't play it much but what I did play was definitely fun.
the siberia opening is still one of the greatest levels in video game history. fun shooter packed with quite frankly an absurd amount of content
TS2 still reigns supreme as the ultimate offline multiplayer FPS.
A little rough around the edges sometimes, but it’s aged exponentially better than something like Goldeneye 007. Really fun game with friends still in the big 2024.
First Halo, Now This?
The Goldeneye-esque control might be a turn off for some in 2020, but adjusting is fairly easy and the game's auto-aim is forgiving enough to make the control negligable.
What does make TimeSplitters 2 more difficult to enjoy in a 2020 replay is the lackluster mission design after the third or so level - The game goes from dense and complex in the opening stages to uninteresting, unintuitive, and uninvolved throughout the rest of the bunch.
TimeSplitters 2 does get points for having a dense amount of content by any standard with different challenge modes and bot-enabled multiplayer - TimeSplitters 2 definitely scores some for having custom bind-able controls in 2002; Something modern shooters seem afraid, or just don't care to offer.

if timesplitters was a movie cortez would be played by the rock
[single player only, emulated on Steam Deck]
A big leap over the first game, but still fairly frustrating. Obviously not playing it in its moment, with pals doing local multiplayer, hurts a bit. It looks and feels great but the checkpointing is frustrating and despite attempts to put a few gimmicks into some levels; the core gameplay feels fairly basic.

no sé qué quieres que te diga es muy bueno juégalo

Goldeneye but fun?!
Definitely think this game is more well-remembered for its multiplayer deathmatches. I played the co-op version of the campaign with a friend, and levels ranged from uninteresting to frustrating. Perhaps in single-player, where ammo and health isn't halved, that there could be a better campaign experience, but of what I experienced, it wasn't too great. Definitely think the game would shine more in a competitive setting, though as there's a lot of characters, maps, and gamemodes that really would make this a competitor to goldeneye in terms of fun party FPS games.
The controls alone bring this from a 5/5 down to a 3/5. Really wish they'd remaster this with modern sensible controls
hard as balls but still a super great fps. would love another entry/spiritual successor
7/10
7/10
this game is funny, you can play as a monkey and he has a gun, thats funny right
A slight step down mechanically from Perfect Dark, but makes up for in charm and theming. Tough campaign on hard difficulty and screw the "Nice Threads" challenge.
It's like goldeneye but its own thing. 60 fps on original Xbox is pretty wild. I remembered renting future shock as a kid but never really played much more, it's a fun series so far.
peaked a little early with the siberia level. it is a very fun and arcadey shooter that knows its thing and does it decently well. little archaic sometimes with its objectives which got annoying by the end. but it was short and sweet and id recommend blasting through it in an afternoon if you have the time.
This is the only FPS that I‘ve actually enjoyed. It’s fun, creative, doesn’t take its self too seriously... I want a remastered version and a Timesplitters 4 so bad.
Please bring it back.

Great sequel, the opening level is one of my favourite FPS levels ever. Some missions are a bit annoying to replay though, especially the stealth mission.
