GC is for pre-school kids, PS2 is for teenagers and the x box for adults.

They're all stupid and don't have the ability to structure a one lined comment...

TS2 is nothing to Goldeneye.
How it can be your 2nd fav ever is ridiculous.

Well, GamesTM reviewed the UK version and trusting stuff on the internet isn't the best idea. I'll place my trust in GamesTM for now.
IGN have said that the Xbox version also has the mini skate boarding games and extras which don't appaer in the PS2 version?! They also said that it isn't down to lazy programming about the slow down on the first part of the game they have actually said that it would take far too long to create a special effects system using the Xbox hardware. The Xbox is the only version to include a Dolby Digital 5.1 Chip so the PS2 version remains as standard Dolby Surround which is no where near the quality of Digital. I will have to wait and see for myself next week when I get the game because after playing the PS2 version extensively it will be nice to see which is the most enjoyable version.

Well that's your opinion. For me, Timesplitters 2 was the spiritual successor to Goldeneye 007 - and is my second favourite FPS of all time. I reckon the single player is excellent, what with a well executed story mode, plus tonnes of fun and exciting challenges.
Timesplitters 2 is better on GameCube for various reasons. I think Free Radical Design said it would be (after calling Nintendo their 'spiritual home'), there's an instant four player deathmatch option, and the controller is by far the most comfortable. I think the graphics are better too, but I'm not sure about anything else. Anyone know?

The fact that it was designed specifically for PS2 and then ported to X-Box (quite lazily, actually), means that the visuals are exactly the same for both versions. On top of this, the XB version suffers from quite a bit of slowdown not apparent in it's PS2 counterpart - thanks to this straight port. As for sound, I have no idea - it may be Dolby 5.1 on PS2, too.
There are no exclusive features on the XB - quite the contrary. It's the PS2 that gets them this time round - Sony's version will feature the skateboarding mini-game exclusively. Why Konami didn't do a better job on porting is anyone's guess - they've always seemed to favour the PS2. At the end of the day though, Sony have by far the best version.
