This thread has been linked to the game 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect'.
Mine came earlier, just been playing it until it crashed my Cube (which hasn't happend in about a year, but never mind).
Very weird to play this after Resi 4, I don't think you couldn't get two shooting games any more different from each other.
So far:
+ Lots of humour and little touches which made me smile
+ More Captain Ash
+ Looks and sounds alot better with alot more speech
+ The stats & character gallery are back, with some old favourites
+ Intimidatingly huge amount of Challenges etc. to do
+ Doesn't look like EA have messed around with FRD's game.
- Couple of framerate slowdowns
- Pathetically weak and short opening level (the demo level)
- I seem to be crap at Arcade league.
The opening Story Level is a let down, specially since the beginning of TSP2 threw you into the sublime Siberia level. But the next level is far better. And has Captain Ash who is hilarious :)
Oh, and in the extras section you can see the credits, which has Cortez going all Saturday Night Fever on a mirror-balled dance floor. The sign on the wall says "The Big Tipper". :D

Hmmmm, yeah, that Train level was good, and I guess the U-Genius U-Genix level was quite cool, if only for the 4 Cortez's running around.
I still think Siberia pwns them all though.

Ah, cheers.
Turns it out that it's Jim Smith, basically John Smith with a welders mask on.
Damn.
I want to know how to get Corporal Hart.

What was the point in waiting until Thursday to order? You knew you'd have to wait until after the Bank holiday weekend to get it so it would have been far easier to not order it and go outside to buy it at a shop on Friday, or you could have ordered it earlier.

If you're going to order products at such times then be prepared to wait. Moaning about it afterwards gets you no where and it annoys me.

The Haunted House level is good but you end up using the shotgun almost exclusively for two levels in a row. I liked 'Something to Crow about' (the second robot level). A good mixture of weapons, nice scenery, and it was a fairly long one too.

I haven't completed it on co-op myself, but in the gallery, the character to the right of John Smith has a description saying, 'To unlock this character complete story mode on co-op mode'.

I haven't completed it on co-op myself, but in the gallery, the character to the right of John Smith has a description saying, 'To unlock this character complete story mode on co-op mode'.
