    It's a competently put together shooter, but it doesn't really excel in any of the many pies it tries to place its fingers into.

    While story elements take a backseat to the action, they aren't missed as the mindless shooting speaks louder than words.

    It’s a good, solid shooter, but even with the 4-player deathmatch (which I’m not really a fan of), there’s not a lot of substance here.

    It is extremely awkward trying to control your basic movements with the left analog stick while at the same time controlling your look and aim movements with the right analog stick.

    The biggest drawback I found with the game in general was not being able to adequately distinguish other players from the background.

    Just more of the same old formula in a candy shell. Take away the coatings and purportedly new features, and the game finds its way back to its roots - in the past.

    Timesplitters has perhaps the WORST single player i have ever seen in a game. its the exact same mundane task for each and every level. Timesplitters has perhaps the WORST single player i have ever seen in a game. its the exact same mundane task for each and every level. however, this one really shines with its multiplayer. with more customization than Halo, and a faster pace than a NASCAR race, this is one game that can easily entertain 2 or more people for several hours.… Full Review »

    FPS in which you battle through the ages against zombies, mutants and aliens with a variety of time-appropriate weaponry and hordes of enemiesFPS in which you battle through the ages against zombies, mutants and aliens with a variety of time-appropriate weaponry and hordes of enemies to dispatch. Its simple, linear levels, cartoony graphics and arcade sensibilities make it almost feel like a shooting gallery game that's come off the rails, but it's a lot of fun to play.… Full Review »
