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.

TS3 is a quality game and that's just from 15 mins play. I mean come on..who can't laugh at watching me driving around in a jeep as a bear on live? It's pure comedy!
I agree that TS3 is a real improvement on TS2, even the Challenges are a bit more 'open' - you can choose from every different Challenge category from the start, rather than unlocking them all.
Is it just me, or, are there a lot of 'starting characters' ? there seems to be about 3 times as many to start with than on TS2.
I haven't got round to Story yet - I'm a story virgin and tonight's gonna be the big night! The graphics have come a long way since TS2 and because all of the various teams start at different bases around the map (Multiplayer) it's not as hectic.
I like some of the 'polish' such as being able to have a Multiplayer match that has a score of either 500 or 1000 - 100 was too easy ;) There's also some great touches, such as the characters acts and quips when you select them.
Vehicles are fun to drive and with some whacky characters and weapons that you really can't see anywhere else.
A genuinely funny tongue in cheek game that has been given an unfair 'press review' - well that's my opinion...play it and see for yourself!

Roughly 150 I think.
Can you tell me how many characters there are?
Oh and there's Ninja Monkey and Cyborg monkeys which is just godly. By the looks of the names of the challenges there might even be pirates.
