Too much hype! This game isn't really for those without any friends. Single Player is a huge let down. It is boring and just not hard enough! I mean there must be about 10-15 enemies on the first level. That is the first level to get you interested in the game and hey it is pretty dull. There are only a few weapons, and the future weapons are not good at all. Plasma poo flying all over the place and bouncing off walls, I mean come on why do that. A nice bit of laser bullets or something would be better, but not flying glowing things.
Controlls are poor to say the least. With out the greatest controller lay out EVER (N64) It is just pathetic, using the controller like a Dual Shock just annoys me.
Easy setting isn't easy at all, it is just...well...like breathing...natural and effortless. Too little enemies are just poor.
Goldeneye 2? NO, a big NO.
However, the in date weapons like the tommy gun are great. Multi Player is the best yet and making your own map rules!
Unfortunatly, without any stats for the multi player games, it feels to me like a real bad let down.

When I played capture the bag on TS1 3humans against 3 teams of bots i found it really hard! (Read my post below) The bots seemed to know what you were goin to do, probably cus my mate has such a strong relationship with his PS2! He even sleeps with it! ...

I don't mind the analogue controls, it did take a while to get used to the PS2, but that was cus i hadn't played my ps1 in ages. If what you say about customisable controller setup is true that the game should be great!

Sounds like when i first played TS1 on PS2 with my mate and my bro. We played capture the bag and my bro kept shooting me and my mate whenever we returned to our base with the bag. So we got whooped, and changed the friendly fire option.

I've witnessed (and taken part in) a huge capture the bag game on teh XBox version. It was really good. At the start the bots didn't just rush in but hung around and bided their time before moving in. They control gun turrets and cover you when attacked. It really is good.

Yip it does, apparently they're uber clever as well, so if you're playing say capture the flag or one of the team games then they'll really work in teams well.
Swear I read somewhere that you can get up to 16 bots as well, could be wrong though.
I can't wait till tommorow morning, me thinks i may explode if it doesn't come through the letterbox.
