Time Splitters was developed by the creators of the revolutionary first-person shooter Golden Eye 007. The plot centres on the Time Splitters, an evil race existing outside of time and space. Battling in three different eras (1935-1955, 1985-2000 and 2015-2035), you must destroy the aliens and restore the timeline. There are 24 unique playable characters and levels, plus over 20 weapons to choose from. Even create your own death-match levels with the mapmaker editor.
What you'd get if you mixed Leauge Of Gentleman & Unreal Tournament
This is potentially the craziest FPS game I have ever played. One of the first games I got for the PS2 and I was very unerved by the strange characters that you choose to be as your main characters throught the missions. The on that will stay in everyones mind is the Mansion with the zombies where only head shots will kill them, with the mutated priests with sawn of shot guns ready to take you out from afar, difficult on easy and almost insane to try it on hard.
The main missions in the game are fairly simply, reach this part of the level, kill the people on the way and grab the item to return to the start and survive the Timesplitters trying to kill you. They do have their own settings with the Mansion as menitoned a big one, you have one in China and Docks which are plesant and again the characters are great when you select them to see their mini monolauge. The problem being these levels are short and to tie in with the frantic game play a lot of this game is really smash and grab and certainly luck based in some sense depending how you play it, the nine levels will be completed fairly quickly initially but you will have to complete in a time limit and certain difficulty to unlock them.
The meat of the game I found is multiplayer that I played countless hours, you have the basic maps and weapon select with few other options but the biggest one being a map editor which was rarer at the time. Bots are allowed and fairly useful but slightly mental you really can die very quickly ,very easily, sound effects get ridiculous and you just try and get back into it. T
Overall I still have a good time playing this game, I would love this as a remake as mine and a lot of other people's favourite, it could do with a bit more polish though but overall a solid game.
