Incredibly influential game in my life, racking up hundreds of hours as a kid. There is an incredible breadth of replayability here; a story mode with multiple difficulties and optional co-op, arcade league full of challenging matches and a wealth of unlockables, arcade custom where you could sit down and play matches with friends, challenge mode with a decent variety of additional and usually silly challenges, and personally for me the crowning jewel: the map maker.
I have entire memory cards full to the brim with maps made in TimeSplitters map makers. It was simple enough a child could use it but decent enough to allow for a vast amount of creativity. I made hundreds of levels in that thing, entire campaigns with stories I wrote to link it all together.
Regardless of how the game holds up now, its legacy for me is that it made me believe I could make my own games and pushed me towards my current career path. For that alone it's 5 stars.
