Absoloutly su-fooking-poib!
I don't get where the magazines and web sites are coming from when they say very little has changed since TS2. So much has changed, all i can think is they didn't really play much of TS2 to notice.
For starters the days of twitchy unprecise aiming are over, using sniper rifles is a breeze and getting head shots from far away is no problem at all. Along with that they've now put in a decent reticule system that glows red when you're aiming at an enemy.
Single player while not ground breaking is a hell of a lot more fun than they made out. If you played and enjoyed Goldeneye or Perfect Dark then you should definetly get a kick out of this. It's certainly a lot better done than TS2 and there's no more moments where the computer seems to get off insanely impossible shots on you. The level design also seems to be a lot better, still quite linear but nowhere near as claustrophobic as some of the levels in TS2. Oh there's also a reasonable storyline instead o fthe jumbled mess that was the last game.
Also the bots in multiplayer no longer seem to know exactly where you are on the map all the time which is a massive bonus. So all is good and I highly recommend you get this game if you like light hearted arcade shooting games with a sense of humour.
There's tons of stuff I've missed out but I can't be assed to type anymore. I'm gonna stay offline tonight and play some single player and then take it online tomorrow night.

It arrived today. At first I wished I had got Chaos Theory instead, but 20 mins into the game I was loving it!
Top tip of the day: If you want some easy kills, play virus and shoot anything that moves - The non-infected bots run around, not shooting anyone.

Definitely, every kill you make shows up there ... Story, League, Challenge, Arcade and Online
Do the kills you get in Arcade show up in your stats then?
I'm whoopin' some ass now, been playing for exactly 19 hours 0_o
I've done 19/21 of the Challenges, just can't kill the Splitters quick enough on the Vietnam Story Classic...grrr
I've now done 24/27 of the Arcade league(s) but am finding the Thief against a team of Brains very difficult, I managed a score of 20
Stats
Kills : 4678
Losses : 778
Heads Knocked Off : 801 (Gold award)

Quick question: When you go online it does keep track of your kills and deaths right?
It seems a bit limited offline, which is a shame. I want to rack up my offline kills aswell.

Just got it using Col's genius idea. 20 quid OH YEAH!
Absolutely loving this game so far. Played as far as "Mansion of Madness" on Story mode before being killed by a red ghost woman / shotgun wielding zombie combo. Then had a quick go on Live on the disco level. Fecking class. Every bit as good as TimeSplitters 2, but with a good story. I'll be playing this for months.
