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.

cool, thanks for the info Crazi col - I might look into getting the 1mb service with Karoo for this summer now.
I haven't tried any challenges yet, just been doing the Story and Online mode.
I love the challenge were you have to make the cyborg monkeys keep dancing using the electric shocker.
It's a must have if you love Timesplitters...which I do.
It's excellent online, a few bugs need to be ironed out but other than that it's a hell of a lot of fun. Once the bugs are ironed out it's gonna be he 2nd best Live game, the best being Chaos Theoryof course.
Oh and the disco level is superb!

Is it a must have? Or just a rent?

Hey Col mate.
It's off-topic but I was wondering if you could tell me the limitations of the Game '4 games and 99p' thing?
They don't accept football games right?
What else don't they accept?
Do they accept PC games?
Can I trade in games from multiple formats (ie trade-in 2 GC + 2 Xbox for a new xbox game)?
Do they accept PS2 games?
Do they accept PS1 games?

We are on karoo, yes. We had the 1mb connection which is just about £30 a month. Me and my little brother pay £8 a month and my parents pay the rest. The 1mb gets bumped upto 1.5MB by the way.
Not many propblems with karoo, except one where the reuter just randomly fails about every 3 - 4 days so I have to take the telephone cable out and then plug it back in and I'm back up working.
Since both me and my brother have Live we have this reuter [URL]http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=719885724&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=48449[/URL] and the only problem I had when setting it up was that something has to be changed in order for it to work within hull.
Can't remember right now but can find out if you need it.
