TimeSplitters: Platinum for PlayStation 2

Pros: dude
Cons: dudette

After planning through the Time Splitters 2 demo that came packaged in with the official Play Station magazine, it kind of made me thirsty to play a complete First-Person Shooter, the original Time Splitters for example. I’ve heard good...

Pros: Graphics, control, high replay value
Cons: None

I have to confess, when the launch titles for the Playstion 2 (PS2) were announced, I wasn't too excited. In fact, I really had to actually look around for a title that I wanted to spend $50.00 on. After reading reviews and checking out screenshots in...

Pros: gameplay, map maker
Cons: control

An extremely solid game, with an incredibly awesome multiplayer mode. However sadly there are flaws, but are the flaws bad enough to ruin a great game?


Eidos interactive presents,


Genre- First Person Shooter

...

Pros: Decent graphics, some fun to be had Multiplayer, variety of weps.
Cons: Can I have a plotline please? Still not Half Life, or UT.

For having had written a few hundred reviews at this point, it would seem strange that an innocent PlayStation 2 game would give me such fits when it came time to opening a review on it. But this one did - Time Splitters needs three opening paragraphs,...

Pros: Slowdown is non-existent, quirky characters, cool weapons, fantastic multiplayer.
Cons: Single player mode, tough control scheme.

I don't think there's one person that I can name who hasn't heard of Goldeneye 007 for the N64. It was arguably the best title available on the system, and easily the best first person shooter at the time. But a lot of people don't seem to know about...

Pros: Variety of weapons, multiplayer is the best on PS2, music, high replay value.
Cons: Extremely long load times, crummy level design, weak single player.

When I got my Playstation 2 way back in May of 2001, I was torn between what game to have to go along with my system. It eventually came down to three games: NHL, FIFA, and Timesplitters. Guess which one I picked?

After I'd successfully...

Pros: Smooth graphics, and nice lighting effects.
Cons: A very confusing awkward control design.

Hmm, looks like Eidos took a wrong turn on this one. Timesplitters had gotten alright reviews, a pretty wide audience commenting on how good the game was, and then there's me. I've played this game, and I was glad I shut it off after the time I did. ...

Pros: great multiplayer, huge selection of levels and characters
Cons: boring story mode, easy to die

This game amazes me. When I received it for my birthday, I barely had heard anything about it. So I shoved it in my PS2 and immediately started to play the easy mode. I flew through the first few levels and noticed that this game was beginning to get...

Pros: Many games modes, levels and senarios. Great graphics, speed and deep.
Cons: Silly avatars. Music is good, not great.

TimeSplitters for the PS2 is a first-rate first person “shooter” game. While not perfect, TimeSplitters is a great value, and it showcases many of the technical advances the PS2 is capable of.

The game has three different game modes; Story,...

Pros: Overall graphics, many options of playing, game statistics, multiplayer
Cons: Character graphics, frame rate, too difficult to play, controls

This PS2 game is one of those games in my opinion, that I really have big problems figuring out, which rating to give.

On one hand they offer a lot of good things and would gladly give it a good rating, but on the other hand there are just too...

Pros: Graphics, Gameplay, Levels taking place in differnt times
Cons: Loading times

Timesplitters goes back into the roots of First Person Shooters. Remember the days of Doom and Duke Nukem 3D? Well this game is like them, that’s because it is simple [not simple difficulty ] , you don’t have a big spanning story-line like Half-Line or...

Pros: Visuals, Level Creator, Frame-Rate, Multiplayer
Cons: Difficulty in Single Player

This game beats any FPS game ever released to make it my all-time favorite. Heck, this game beats almost any GAME released!

Everyone has been comparing Timesplitters to Unreal Tournament, as they were the Playstation2's first...

Pros: insanely quick framerate, terrific graphics, level editor
Cons: shaky control, steep difficulty

Timesplitters was the first fps (first person shooter) to hit the playstation 2. It remains the best in my opinion.

The first thing a player will notice when they pop this disc in is the quick framerate and great graphics. This game proves...

Pros: Smooth 60 FPS animation, and brilliant control scheme
Cons: Painfully generic on all ends

From the team who brought you the ultra-platinum hit, Goldeneye 007, for the Nintendo 64 comes their next first-person shooter. While failing at being a real game, Time Splitters succeeds on all ends for an all-out multi-player massacre all with fluid...

Pros: Many ways of playing, never really beat the game, graphics are tight, and so many options for multiplayer it isn't even funny
Cons: Sound and music is alright, but remember, this game is not for children!!!

Before you know it, you've got one. Yep, a Playstation 2. I got mine through 2 years pre-order, but you might have trouble. But what games should be purchased. I have composed a short list of launch games that are worth it...

In no special...
