TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

The Good
Timesplitters: FP is a minor improvement of Timesplitters 2, an excellent game in my opinion. What makes this an improvement, you say? Let me tell you... First, the game got itself an actual story. This story, while short, has the funniest dialog FPSer's have seen in a long time. Also, this game is the freakin' easiest game to get into. Just move, shoot, and stay alive. Heck, it's so easy to learn your GIRLFRIEND could get into it in 5 minutes. Not to mention the game's simpleness make it more like the action found in Goldeneye 007 (trivia fact: this game, as long as it's prequels, were made by people who worked on Goldeneye). If you want some complexity, there are alot of modes to play with; Capture the Bag (capture the flag), elimination (run out of lives and you lose), and vampire (a timer ticks down before you die, and you must kill others to reset that timer) are just a few. For those who complained TS2 had no online play, this game includes it, and it is a blast! Sure there is some lag here or there, but overall it's a fun and a very social experience. Lastly, a mapmaker is included, and it is a MAJOR improvement over the previous 2 games. You can even upload them and/or download them online.

The Bad
As for the negative things, I can name a few. The AI, for example, plays stupid. They move rather slow, and when you shoot them, they give their "hurt" animation, allowing you easy access to finish them off. If they get an explosive weapon (such as the rocket launcher), they will spend close to forever aiming their shit before firing it. Also, the graphics aren't up to par. Characters have no shadows, weapons aren't very real looking, and there aren't any ragdoll physics (when characters' arms and legs flobble around after death based on what they hit). Lastly, the story mode is over way too quickly, about 4-6 hours on average. The average single-player lasts 15-20 hours. Ouch.

The Bottom Line
Timesplitters is for anyone who wants to share this game with casual players, their girlfriend, or wants a good time. Even hardcore action fans will get something out of this game. Be warned though, if your compare it to Halo 2, you will hate this game. Just drop that game out of your mind, and Timesplitters: FP is a winner!
