If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's holding on to my copy of this game for the gamecube. Even as a small child I knew that this game would always be gold.
+LCH_Entertainment i hate myself for taking this game for granted, when I moved house i left the game in the old house and when i came back it was gone, it felt like i lost something dear, like a pet or something, it really was sad
I remember spending all day with my mate just creating different maps and then playing the virus game mode on them ha ha th story was fun too... hard to believe it was almost ten years ago
gac3la ow, it comes to the ps4 as well. Here's hoping it becomes a true sequel (the last time i watched and from what i understood (english isnt my mother language)), the project would be developed by people all over the world, it happened before with other videogames and (well, i know one) it came out great. Fingers crossed! correct me on this, if i made a error thou.
+Rekkn_ it wont be a sequel, more like a fan made game, it will only have all multiplayer features, no plans for story missions or challenges etc as of yet, who knows maybe in the future they will make it a proper remake of all three games
Wish I had played this or any other Timesplitters games on PS2 back then. Maybe one day I'll get it again and definitely check this out, the game looks great.
I love this game, I miss it so much. I remember me and my friend used to play what I called insane duck hunt where it be me and him versus shit tons of duck bots on the hardest difficulty with just snipers on the ice level.... it got fucking crazy ugh so many memories.
Or me and my cousin would create a dim lit stage with a safe room with lockable doors, powerups, health&armor, different class guns, and turret control panels, on virus mode, damn i missed those days.
Well if you refer to the original CS - you don't refer to the whole series. I stated that Timesplitters is the best shooter series. You only name one part of a series, which again is something completely different (:
linkinparkroxx there is only one cs with skins, idiot. hardly call that a category for the whole serie. they didn't have skins for 13 years out of 15. get wrecked. TS doesn't come close to CoD, halo or cs.
Played this game on Gamecube so many times, single player, co-op, multiplayer... I remember every single line of the game, the backgroundmusic, the levels,... It's FPS at its absolute finest.
I just beat this game 20 minutes ago! The whole game was amazing- even today! I got it for around 5$ at a classic games shop and it brought back so many memories!
+eerniizz no I played it when It first came out a little at a friends house- we used to play split screen multiplayer all day. So I got it and beat it and it's amazing. Time for #2
Please, please make these in HD! By far one of my favorite FPS series ever! I hope a sequel comes out! Online MP would be so Epic, the monkey in particular should make a return LOL
@svampreview Nice to see another swedish fan of the Timesplitters series! My story goes quite like yours, although I never sold any of them. Recently bought the first installment, damn it's hard! Long live TImesplitters!
this has got to be one of the most underrated games of all time, it has tremendous story, awesome gameplay, and amazing music. if timesplitters 4 doesnt become developed im gonna be pissed
To be honest i've not tried, its been years since I last played it. I'm just glad they (Free Radical Design) finally finished HAZE now so they can go full steam on finishing Timesplitters 4. I've spoken to the creator, David Doak a few time too, really nice guy.
This game is awesome, I love the humor in this game, and I especially love the co-op mode! I think it would have been cool if the 2nd player would have their own special weapon though, kinda like how the 1st player gets the watch with the grav gun. I can't wait for Time Splitters 4
Thats some pretty slick editing with the Disco-A-Go-Go theme in the beginning Mark. Really gets me in the mood to infiltrate the secret lair of an evil villain with a Hippy secret agent to rescue his girlfriend. Thats totally normal, right?
I do like the sounds of the guns. Something I like about that old gun sounds, that made them sound utterly devastating as well as the damage they made. Like some of the weapons in Perfect Dark.
Ah, the old days of TH-cam. No videos longer than 10 minutes, and original content that's easy to find without having to sift through unoriginal lets plays and reaction videos :)
Me and my friend had TS2 and we played it all the time. Then we got this and it was so awesome we played it like everyday. It was surprising that no one else played it.
The Enquirer You can build a $400 PC, and most PC games also have local multiplayer, of if they don't then you can probably mod it in. Also it annoys me that you aren't considering the Wii U "current gen"
Time Splitters is an amazing series, part 2 was my first ps2 game ... only got it cause it came with a free controller ... and I got it before I got a ps2! I wasnt expecting it to become my favorite game ever!, Time Splitters: Future Perfect was a brilliant addition I had avoided getting it for so long when it came out because I was so inlove with number 2, boy was I wrong I loved the story to part 3 and the cutscenes where amazing! I just rebrought the game today! :D bring on the weekend!
@gamerboy218 in options under pause menu u can change the way u move like in the first and second. where the gun doesnt always aim in center but where u turn
I just got a brand new PS2 and I found this game in my room. Me and my lil brother got so hyped up to play this game again on coop on hard mode this game is the best FPS game made for coop. Harry tipper was my favourite.
Do any of the Timesplitter stories connect? I've only played Future Perfect all the way through, Played bits and pieces of the first game but never tried the 2nd game.
I never noticed that U-Genix was a lot like DataDyne from Perfect Dark, but the clips you showed now look extremely familiar; I'll need to try that level again with that in mind.
"Bite my crunchy brown ass" best quote in videogame history Anyway... what I don't understand is the fact that Crytek doesn't want to develop Timesplitters 4, but on their site (if you go to the section with all their different studios) there is this description for the Nottingham (= Free Radical Design) studio: "Crytek Nottingham was founded in 2009, comprising a highly talented and experienced team, formerly Free Radical, the creators of the TimeSplitters franchise." Why are they bragging with the fact that Crytek UK made the Timesplitters series? While Crytek UK was denied to make a sequel to the series (The trilogy that generally scored higher than the Crysis trilogy.......). It's like throwing all your gold in the toilet and then flush it away! I just don't understand....................
I remember this game when my dad played it when I was a kid. My brother just hid under the table and I closed my eyes and ears when the zombies came. Good memories...
I remember this game really well. It was the goofiest, dumbest, silliest and most insane game I ever played. And I loved absolutely every goddamn second of it. They just didn't care if they offended people, they just made it fun.
First of all, great review! Makes me wish I hadn't traded my PS2. But I'm tired of all the commenters who seem to think they're better because they prefer older games over those such as CoD. It's award-winning because it caters to the audience and does a good job of it. Sure, there are unlikable aspects to certain titles, but hell--the videogame market is vast, and there is virtually anything for anybody. So stop bashing mainstream games out of the blue unless you have some insightful reasons.
You said that Killzone 1 and TimeSplinters 3 is both great FPS. But in your opinion. Which is the best when it comes to replay-ablity? Also I like your classic game reviews. Since I don't have a X360 or PS3, only xbox1 and ps2 because I'm poor. Lol.
this game is frickin amazing... i had so much fun and it had coop which not many games had or did well... most fun you can have is on that disco arena with rocket launchers only... insanely fun... i hope there are more to come in the series
Killzone, Red Faction, Bioshock and the first Halo are my favorite FPS games of all time. I have not played this version of time splitters but this review made me log onto Ebay and buy it. The Half Life Series is Awesome as well!
A must buy ! im sad then i sold my ps2 to get enuf money for a 360 but hell TS4 is in the macking cant wait for to se some gameplay of TS 4 in the future :D
When I was growing up my parents wouldn't get a game console, but would get annoyed when I used the the family computer to plays games. So in 2010 one of my friends gave me his old gamecube and 6 games (call of duty 2: big red one, sonic riders, ect) then told me I could get cheap games at gamestop. Later that summer I watched this review then rushed over to my local gamestop and found luckily they had a copy in stock for under $10, it's probably the best console exclusive I have ever played. I still go back to play the campaign a lot and a few years back I joined a discord server that plays the ps2's networked multiplayer via LAN mode and openVPN. I just wish we had gotten an official PC port because it's so hard for me now a days to go back to aiming with a thumb stick, at least emulators have mouse injector mods now.
@svampreview Awesome! Future Perfect is the best in my opinion! Storywise and overall gameplay. Although TS2 has a certain feeling and atmosphere that is almost better! Have fun with the 3rd game! I will go on and try to beat the first installment while I'm waiting for the fourth! :)
Thanks! And I can respect someone disliking CoD for valid reasons (*ahem* hackers/modders). It's fun for me sometimes, but I prefer Halo more, myself. I just can't stand blind rage toward something just because they see a lot of others disliking it. But all things considered, I'm very interested to see how Black Ops II turns out
Yeah, they better keep the same type of comedic gameplay and varried levels as well as characters and weapons! :P That's what makes Timesplitters so fun and unique
i love timesplitters for over 10 years, part 2 and 3 were so great, best and most motivating shooter of all time, as a reward for achievements in the game there were tons of complete new and greatly designed multiplayer maps, nowadays you simply have to buy these, timesplitters was so much better and more innovative than nowadays shooter like battlefield, which have nothing to offer exept great graphic
i like ts2 for the cartoony graphics,how the timesplitters look (i love how the timesplitters look in the intro) an dthe old goldeneye style but tsfp is like the old but updated for teh modern fps
I can't fucking believe that this franchise didn't get an HD remake for PS3! :(
Asylum117 I wish it did too. I still can't decide if I like TS2 or Future Perfect more!
Did you hear about Time splitters Rewind?
GamingToMakeGamez No I have not! :/
Asylum117 Well, it's a upcoming remake of the Timesplitter games. Search it up. It'll also be free. :D
GamingToMakeGamez :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's holding on to my copy of this game for the gamecube. Even as a small child I knew that this game would always be gold.
+LCH_Entertainment i hate myself for taking this game for granted, when I moved house i left the game in the old house and when i came back it was gone, it felt like i lost something dear, like a pet or something, it really was sad
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm always keeping mine.
I remember spending all day with my mate just creating different maps and then playing the virus game mode on them ha ha th story was fun too... hard to believe it was almost ten years ago
I remember playing D-Day type maps.
I still come back to this review idk why I think because this was my first video game buy and you help me pick it
Timesplitters is love, Timesplitters is life
UP VOTE IF PEOPLE WANT TIME SPLITTERS 4
then sign the petition
***** oo I didn't thanks for the fyi though

i dint know at all, THX!
Timesplitters rewind is still going strong
This game was the best. I remember sitting down with my friends playing multilayer. It had some of the BEST multilayer characters ever.
we need this in remastered version.
+gac3la we need a sequel
*****
timesplitters rewind its suposed to release in a near future, pc n ps4
gac3la
ow, it comes to the ps4 as well. Here's hoping it becomes a true sequel (the last time i watched and from what i understood (english isnt my mother language)), the project would be developed by people all over the world, it happened before with other videogames and (well, i know one) it came out great. Fingers crossed! correct me on this, if i made a error thou.
+Rekkn_ it wont be a sequel, more like a fan made game, it will only have all multiplayer features, no plans for story missions or challenges etc as of yet, who knows maybe in the future they will make it a proper remake of all three games
I remember watching my older brother play this when I was like 8. The zombie level creeped me out.
I... am playing this with my 8 year old brother... and we just arrived the zombie level. Should I be worried?
Already beat it :D
Wish I had played this or any other Timesplitters games on PS2 back then. Maybe one day I'll get it again and definitely check this out, the game looks great.
I love this game, I miss it so much. I remember me and my friend used to play what I called insane duck hunt where it be me and him versus shit tons of duck bots on the hardest difficulty with just snipers on the ice level.... it got fucking crazy ugh so many memories.
Or me and my cousin would create a dim lit stage with a safe room with lockable doors, powerups, health&armor, different class guns, and turret control panels, on virus mode, damn i missed those days.
12 years Later and we still dont have a new Timesplitters
Such a HUGE improvement compared to Timesplitters 1.
Hell no ts1 is better
@@dripdrop7688 L
Oh man, I remember watching this in 2008.
Keep up the good work.
Best shooter series so far. I hope for another equally good title, even would buy the needed console just for the game itself.
you can't be serious this is a piece of shit compared to counter strike, and i loved ts back in the days.
I think counter strike is too nerdy - lokiing at its community, their playtime and the fact that they spend hundreds of dollars for weapon skins (!!).
linkinparkroxx Skins came only with cs go that came out in 2012, first cs is 1999 and is anything but nerdy.
Well if you refer to the original CS - you don't refer to the whole series. I stated that Timesplitters is the best shooter series. You only name one part of a series, which again is something completely different (:
linkinparkroxx there is only one cs with skins, idiot. hardly call that a category for the whole serie. they didn't have skins for 13 years out of 15. get wrecked. TS doesn't come close to CoD, halo or cs.

Shame I never played this game.
youll like it if your into classic games and also no jumping In this game but its fun
***** I Played Since I Was 5 Bra..
***** ok..whatever you say bitch
***** & *****
Can't we all just....... get along?
Dark Soldier yeah we can
I just beat this game 20 minutes ago! The whole game was amazing- even today! I got it for around 5$ at a classic games shop and it brought back so many memories!

"Cmon Marines!. You wanna live forever?"lol Starship Troopers
Great review. I loved the first two but never got around to buying Future Perfect. Can't wait to see the other parts!
This game looks pretty awesome! I will have to try it out when I get my PS3. Awesome video. I look forward to seeing part 2 of it.
Please, please make these in HD! By far one of my favorite FPS series ever! I hope a sequel comes out! Online MP would be so Epic, the monkey in particular should make a return LOL
@svampreview Nice to see another swedish fan of the Timesplitters series! My story goes quite like yours, although I never sold any of them. Recently bought the first installment, damn it's hard! Long live TImesplitters!
Holy mother of god this game was amazing. Watching this I think I need to play it again *FAST*.
Did you ever play the Xbox version? As that had a load of maps from Goldeneye as free DLC.
The zombie mansion was my all time fav level and the moose boss was just hysterical, not to mention his catch phrase
"The moose is loose!!!" :D
this has got to be one of the most underrated games of all time, it has tremendous story, awesome gameplay, and amazing music. if timesplitters 4 doesnt become developed im gonna be pissed
To be honest i've not tried, its been years since I last played it.
I'm just glad they (Free Radical Design) finally finished HAZE now so they can go full steam on finishing Timesplitters 4.
I've spoken to the creator, David Doak a few time too, really nice guy.
"Miller?! Ahh, we lost Miller!" lol that line always made my friend laugh
This game is awesome, I love the humor in this game, and I especially love the co-op mode! I think it would have been cool if the 2nd player would have their own special weapon though, kinda like how the 1st player gets the watch with the grav gun.
I can't wait for Time Splitters 4
This is my absolute favorite of all the CGR intros
My favorite character was always Brains. I loved being an undead chimp. Something about that just screams awesomeness.
Thats some pretty slick editing with the Disco-A-Go-Go theme in the beginning Mark.
Really gets me in the mood to infiltrate the secret lair of an evil villain with a Hippy secret agent to rescue his girlfriend. Thats totally normal, right?
No clue why I'm just sitting here watching a review about a game I have to the right of me for GC and watching this AGAIN, but I LOVE IT!
I do like the sounds of the guns. Something I like about that old gun sounds, that made them sound utterly devastating as well as the damage they made. Like some of the weapons in Perfect Dark.
Ah, the old days of TH-cam. No videos longer than 10 minutes, and original content that's easy to find without having to sift through unoriginal lets plays and reaction videos :)
Yes.
I also wish Mark would make reviews this long again :D
So many good memories with this game!
Now......about that 4th game you guys were thinking about...
Me too! I never played them alone, always needed either my brother or a friend to play Co-Op with me xD
Me and my friend had TS2 and we played it all the time. Then we got this and it was so awesome we played it like everyday. It was surprising that no one else played it.
They need to make a TimesSplitters 4, how fun would it be to play a TimeSplitters game online again on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network?
***** And?.....
PC is objectively better than console.
The Enquirer You can build a $400 PC, and most PC games also have local multiplayer, of if they don't then you can probably mod it in.
Also it annoys me that you aren't considering the Wii U "current gen"
It's coming to PC and ps4..

I just played through the story mode and now playing the arcade with friends. This game is awesome!
Playin this with 3 buddies is fun for days and i love the humor in this game!
This is my favourite shooter of all time. Countless hours of fun.
Ive only played the first 2 Timesplitters and really considering looking for this game in gamestop now
@gamerboy218
in options under pause menu u can change the way u move like in the first and second. where the gun doesnt always aim in center but where u turn

Do any of the Timesplitter stories connect? I've only played Future Perfect all the way through, Played bits and pieces of the first game but never tried the 2nd game.
Is the online play over live still active today? If so I am getting this game.
I never noticed that U-Genix was a lot like DataDyne from Perfect Dark, but the clips you showed now look extremely familiar; I'll need to try that level again with that in mind.
"come on marines you wana live for ever" this stayed in my mind for years
This looks fun as hell. Is this one I should get? Or should I get 1 or 2?
"Bite my crunchy brown ass" best quote in videogame history

The sliced up cow carcass was my favorite playable character. I was a weird kid.
I remember this game really well. It was the goofiest, dumbest, silliest and most insane game I ever played. And I loved absolutely every goddamn second of it. They just didn't care if they offended people, they just made it fun.

I saw this vid and now I want to play TimeSplitters back again!
Loved the chaisma this game had, a lot of references to other games and the story line was awesome.. too bad they didn't make TimeSpillters 4
This review got me this game
You said that Killzone 1 and TimeSplinters 3 is both great FPS. But in your opinion. Which is the best when it comes to replay-ablity? Also I like your classic game reviews. Since I don't have a X360 or PS3, only xbox1 and ps2 because I'm poor. Lol.
Harry Tipper is just...outstanding. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying his company.
this game is frickin amazing... i had so much fun and it had coop which not many games had or did well... most fun you can have is on that disco arena with rocket launchers only... insanely fun... i hope there are more to come in the series
gawd i loved this game i might try and find it again.
any ideas where i could look for it?
Really hope that there will be a Time Splitters 4 ! :D. The Timesplitters games are the best games ever !!!
Reminded me of Perfect Dart also. Obliviously, Robofish is my favorite character too.
This game has everything! Action. Humour. Really good story. Excellent gameplay. Good sound.
Love it!
Ahh. This reminds me of long evenings playing Co-op on that Zombie Mansion/Testing Facility level. Ahhh Good times!
I picked this game up for 3 dollars at the base thrift shop in 2008 and my wife and I still play it. The best shooter since Goldeneye!
Killzone, Red Faction, Bioshock and the first Halo are my favorite FPS games of all time. I have not played this version of time splitters but this review made me log onto Ebay and buy it. The Half Life Series is Awesome as well!
Thumbs up for mentioning Resistance - Fall of men.
this game bringings back old times i need to find it and play it for the 800 time :D
Can't wait for Timesplitters 4!! :D
it's being worked on right now by CrytekUK and is supposed to come out win the first 6 months of 2010 :)
@MrPoil254 yes you can! Choose playstation 2 emulator or the Dolphin emulator to play the gamecube version.
"Hope I don’t have an accident in here… "
*AH-CHOO!*
"Oh, nooo!"
A must buy ! im sad then i sold my ps2 to get enuf money for a 360 but hell TS4 is in the macking cant wait for to se some gameplay of TS 4 in the future :D
which should I get it for? The xbox, ps2, or gamecube? Does the xbox version work on a 360? and does the ps2 version work on a ps3?
Theres actually an hd collection coming out in December. I've never actually played it so itll be cool
this was such an awesome shooter omg i miss that game :( i wish TS4 comes very soon
This one was always my favorite, mainly because of its absolutely HILARIOUS. 2 for Multiplayer, 3 for Single Player.
Is there any games that are similar to this? esp with co-op Story mode? Fuking love it and just completed it!
hey mate. :D the robofish is my favourite char too
This game was way ahead of its time; wish it was available on the 360 as an Arcade title or something!
You should really look into reviewing "Second Sight". It was created by the same people who did Timesplitters and it was really fun!
Loved this game as a kid, I want to play it again so bad.
This is one of the most under-appreciated games ever. One of my all time favorites.
When I was growing up my parents wouldn't get a game console, but would get annoyed when I used the the family computer to plays games. So in 2010 one of my friends gave me his old gamecube and 6 games (call of duty 2: big red one, sonic riders, ect) then told me I could get cheap games at gamestop. Later that summer I watched this review then rushed over to my local gamestop and found luckily they had a copy in stock for under $10, it's probably the best console exclusive I have ever played. I still go back to play the campaign a lot and a few years back I joined a discord server that plays the ps2's networked multiplayer via LAN mode and openVPN. I just wish we had gotten an official PC port because it's so hard for me now a days to go back to aiming with a thumb stick, at least emulators have mouse injector mods now.
@svampreview Awesome! Future Perfect is the best in my opinion! Storywise and overall gameplay. Although TS2 has a certain feeling and atmosphere that is almost better! Have fun with the 3rd game! I will go on and try to beat the first installment while I'm waiting for the fourth! :)
It's really fun but not many know about the game, which makes it underrated but still one of the best games of all time.
I love playing this game on coop with a buddy or with my brother we always laugh our asses off to this game in story or arcade mode.
Thanks! And I can respect someone disliking CoD for valid reasons (*ahem* hackers/modders). It's fun for me sometimes, but I prefer Halo more, myself. I just can't stand blind rage toward something just because they see a lot of others disliking it.
But all things considered, I'm very interested to see how Black Ops II turns out
DAT NOSTALGIA
I must buy this game again... and even a PS2.
How could I have missed such a gem?
Yeah, they better keep the same type of comedic gameplay and varried levels as well as characters and weapons! :P
That's what makes Timesplitters so fun and unique
i freaking miss this game so much!@$:!@!@ im almost crying right now... had it for the game cube... played it for months.
it looks like they bring back a load of characters from the first one, Brilliant!
you could play this splt screen co-op right? because im sure i remember completing this game with my dad
i love timesplitters for over 10 years, part 2 and 3 were so great, best and most motivating shooter of all time, as a reward for achievements in the game there were tons of complete new and greatly designed multiplayer maps, nowadays you simply have to buy these,
timesplitters was so much better and more innovative than nowadays shooter like battlefield, which have nothing to offer exept great graphic
i like ts2 for the cartoony graphics,how the timesplitters look (i love how the timesplitters look in the intro) an dthe old goldeneye style but tsfp is like the old but updated for teh modern fps
