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

Bah, I'd try and beat that, but my wee brother has nicked my Gamecube, and by venturing into his room, I'll experience crappy dance music, so I have to wait for him to give it back.

If that's because I'm "boasting", I don;t mean to, what I mean is that I have o life and I can't stop playing.
If I really do make you feel inadequate, then this'll fix it: your penis is probably bigger than mine.
Happy?

Aha, thanks. My stupid fat fingers (Which are actually quite nimble and slender) can't seem to type.

Yeah, but it's an arcade challenge, I have to use a crappy slow robot dude for it.

They just shoot you, and I can kill then, and watch as no coin appears and their score goes up because the coin appeared where one of the monkeys were standing.

No doubt there's a faster character out there.
Try charging them down as you kill them.
Bah, I'm addicted to this and hate it at the same time.
I've completed all of the challenges, have all golds/platinums in Amateur League, have completed Honorary League with all Silvers and above and I'm currently on the Elite League (after finishing the Story mode last night).
I treid a level tehre, it's Thief 9which i ahe), you, against 6 zombie-monkeys in a team.
As soon as you kill one, another takes it's coin>
I can't win.
They kill me about 3 tiems overall teh entire game, but they win because when I kil one of them, one zips in and steal the coin.
They're too fast.

I thought they might've considering they made all the challenges accessible straight away.

Ack.. I hate that boss. Had to do it about 5 times, and yeh, I'd been trying with the ghost gun too.

Unlike TSP2 you can play unlocked missions on any difficulty straight away.
