Timesplitters 2 rocks. Fantastic game. Timesplitters was fairly crap, but it's good because I've gotten hours of multiplayer enjoyment out of it.

Answer truthfully, have you played it? Its awful! Timesplitters 2 is 1000 times better than it. All you do in every level is run, shoot some people grab a briefcase and leg it back to the start of the level. Thats it! Graphics are closer to PS1 than todays PS2 games. All levels are just corridors, truely terribly design, AI stinks, shoddy rushed. It is NOT a good game.

I cringe when I play it, and to think Free Radical claimed it was better than Goldeneye.

Timesplitters was good. Tekken Tag was alright, as was GT3.

The Classic or playes choice range on Xbox and GC are superior to the original PS2 platnuim games, the original Timsplitters (utter cack on a disk) and Tekken Tag and GT3. The may have sold very well, but that doesn't mean there are good games.
