Timesplitters: Timesplitters 2
built 290 days ago
Maintaining a solid frame rate, locked at 60 fps, Timesplitters 2 offers some incredible mechanics. Everything feels natural, and your aim is adjusted by the ability to see bullets flying through the air, not a cursor. Destructible environments add to the feeling of power. Enemy AI is fair, and they'll make a few moves to avoid being killed. The models always maintain a simple style, and there's no question everyone involved had fun making this one (you'll spend an entire level trying to take down a pack of ravenous monkeys).

The main single player portion of TimeSplitters 2 is divided into ten levels.[3] Each level is in a different time period and contains a series of objectives that must be completed. Some objectives are present at the start of the level, while others are added during play.[4] A few levels have secondary objectives, which are not required to complete. Each level includes a single checkpoint in the middle where the player can restart if they die or fail to complete an objective.[5] For each level, the player must choose from three difficulty levels. Unlike most games, these difficulty levels not only change the strength of the enemies, but ... increase the length of the level by adding additional objectives. At the end of nearly every level, a time crystal must be recovered. After it is picked up, a time portal will appear which must be entered in order to complete the level.

Like the other titles in the series, TimeSplitters Future Perfect sees you hopping between different moments in time to thwart your enemy's evil plans. The year is 2401 and humanity is locked in a conflict with an evil race known as the TimeSplitters. The TimeSplitters are determined to wipe out humanity. They have tried to do this by using time crystals and travelling through history causing as much trouble as possible. The idea is to travel back in time, find the source of the time crystals and then destroy them so that the present conflict will never happen. You'll play as Sergeant Cortez and it's your job to sort this mess out.

As well as the story mode TimeSplitters 2 has an arcade mode which includes League, Custom, and Network options and sees you trying to earn gold, silver or bronze medals depending on your performance. This mode contains smaller tasks to complete such as killing a certain number of enemies, not being touched by an enemy on fire etc. To top it all off the developers have included a Challenge mode which offers you over half a dozen unique challenges to complete. These range from the very average banana collecting level to the awesome glass smashing and head decapitation levels. Each Challenge level is broken up into 3 sections which increases in difficulty.

TimeSplitters 2 ... has a rather hefty list of weapons. While in story mode, you'll stick mostly to weapons that are from the era of the level you're playing. So in the 1990s Russia level, you'll see assault rifles, timed mines, and other fairly modern military machinery. But in the Prohibition-era Chicago level, you'll see significantly older weaponry, such as a tommy gun and an old rifle with a wooden stock. In multiplayer matches, of course, you can customize your weapon set by either going with a preset batch of weaponry or choosing up to five weapons for your match. The selection of standard armaments includes a collection of pistols (each of which can be carried alone or in pairs), a few different shotguns, a couple of different types of sniper rifle, machine guns, miniguns, and a crossbow.

TimeSplitters 2 continues the time traveling exploits of a scheming alien race and the heroic warriors who vow to stop them. Making its Xbox debut, the [F]irst-person shooter sets itself apart from most titles in the genre by taking place in ten environments that encompass the past and [F]uture, including the Wild West in 1853, 1932 Chicago, 1895 Paris, 1920 Aztec ruins, 1990 Siberia, 2019 Tokyo, and more. Five modes of play consist of Story, Arcade League, Arcade Custom, System Link, and Challenge. Also featured is the ability to create custom single- or multiplayer levels using the MapMaker editing tool. Story mode offers a mission-based narrative spanning 500 years of gun-toting action. Reminiscent of the television series Quantum Leap, players will "zap" into the bodies of characters from various time periods and use weapons of that era to complete primary and secondary objectives, ranging from rescuing hostages to eliminating surveillance devices before infiltrating an enemy compound.
