Review
------
When Rare made GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64 in 1997 they
created the best first-person shoot-'em-up the world had ever
seen and, arguably, has seen to this day. Many of the geniuses
behind the game left Rare shortly after to set up their own
company, Free Radical. Their first game was the rather rushed (in
time for the PS2's launch) TimeSplitters, but this sequel is
polished to perfection and easily one of the best games of the
year.
One of the main problems with the original TimeSplitters was its
awful single-player mode, but this has been totally revamped for
the sequel with a proper story mode, all-new time zones and
weapons, and absolutely ains of unlockable hidden extras.
Thankfully they've kept the wicked sense of humor from the first
game, but there's also a lot more strategy for solo players this
time around, including an amusing homage to GoldenEye's
Arkangelsk Dam level, as well as pastiches of other games and
films scattered throughout.
The real reason for TimeSplitters 2's greatness, though, is the
multiplayer mode. This is GoldenEye to the nth degree, with
superbly designed levels, tons of weapons, and all sorts of
tricks and gimmicks, such as remote-control turrets and
invisibility pills. It may lack the epic of Halo, but in
multiplayer mode at least this is a lot more fun--and fun, as The
Beatles never said, is all you need. --David Jenkins -- .co.uk
