I have preordered Time Splitters 2, but is this the right choice?? Which one would you go for?? I thought i'll get the one with the most modes and stuff so you get your moneys worth, and Metroid is only one player!!!

Could someone now please tell me the best bits about each game. I'm also worried about Metroid and Die Hard being to short and having no replay value, anyone know if their long games???

Yep, Metroid Prime will probably be a Halo beater.

Metroid Prime will be the new ruler of FPSs, I can feel it. :)
Timesplitters 2 looks like a game that plays a lot better than it looks (not that the visuals are crap), while Die Hard...seems...'iffy'. It seems like the kind of game that's got great ideas and moments of pure genius, but isn't consistent or last for too long. However, we'll just have to wait and see. :)

I bought the new OPS2 Mag today and played the Timesplitters 2 demo, it's, quite frankly, brilliant. The level, a Siberian Dam, is well put together, great effects and graphics and the enemies AI seems good as well, even the aiming system is good for a console FPS, far better than that seen on Medal Of Honour Frontline.

Still, I'll be getting Timesplitters 2 on the Gamecube, not the PS2,because if multi platofrm titles like Burnout are anything to go by the graphics will be that little bit nicer. 10/10 ? I reckon that's a fair rating on PS2, on the Gamecube, if it plays as well, and it should do, then probably 9/10.

As for Sum Of All Fears.....avoid it like the plague. I've got the PC version and it's rubbish. You basically follow a path and shoot enemies with the AI of a piece of wood. Ghost Recon is far better and if you already have that then wait for Raven Shield to come out next year on the Gamecube !

What i do with game reviews is not actually read what they think, i read the bit about what you do in the game. Like how you control the character and what you do in the game then decide if i would like doing that.

But if i think "oh thats good" and it only gets 45% i wouldnt buy it.

I know this guy's been banned now, but it's extremely funny that he called TimeSplitters 2 'dull' even though it's a multiformat title that got 10/10 by Official Playstation Magazine.

Oh yeah, no game is perfect. That's why I never trust magazine reviews.

Don't hold your breathe, it's not a very good game. I've played a demo of the PC version, and while it's fun, compared to other FPS out now, or coming out soon, it's a bit limited and bland. Same goes for Ghost Recon, which is made by the same developer, infact TSOAF looks more like an add-on pack to GR than a proper stand alone game.
