Too Hard to Enjoy

Time Splitters 2 is one of the most anticipated sequels to a first person shooter that I can remember. I played the first game and was impressed by it. The multiplayer was one of the best to date, and the overall game was really good. Not unbelievable, but good. Now we have Time Splitters 2 and I am a fan of the first person shooter. It's not my favorite type of gameplay, but I do like it and I also like it when companies who develop first person shooters do their best to try and mix the style and game play up a bit. It isn't that TS2 isn't uniqute, because it is, and it's actually pretty cool going through time and venturing into all those far and away lands. The real problem here is, well, the game is just too damn hard to enjoy. This coming from someone who has beaten Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid on its hardest levels. The first level, in Siberia, and the Atom Smasher level, are two of the hardest mission I have EVER played in my video game history. It took me 3 hours to beat Siberia and 6, yes that's right 6 hours to beat the Atom Smasher level. So as I finished up TS2, I realized that for just being a first person shooter, with a lot of cool guns, this game is not worth recommending. Buy and play it if you wish, if not, go for Red Faction 2 or Agent Under Fire.

GOOD GAME, TOO MUCH STUFF TO UNLOCK

I expected this game to be the best on the market but when I played it I was highly disapointed. The game controls so sharply that you have to touch the joystick so lightly to even aim at anyone. It's damn near impossible, at least until you get used to it. While the game has a lot of features, I just could never get into it. Probobly because of the contorls.

Time Spliters 2 Rules

Even though I only played the demo I think that Time Spliters 2 will be great. I have only played the first one once I think 2 will be the best.

Not so good these days, go for Future Perfect instead

There are some points I'd like to make clear before I go any further. One, it's now 2007 so it's been a while since this was released. Two, I only tried single-player story mode before stopping (more later). Three, I LOVED TS: Future Perfect.

I definitely seem to be in a different corner from other reviewers. Generally people love this game. After 3 levels of single-player mode, I realized it was pi**ing me off more than providing fun.

Looks aren't a problem. Unless your a graphics fetishist there's nothing to complain about how it looks, even today. Not too blocky, nice environments, smooth framerate.

The problem for me arises in the actual gameplay. First, I hate aiming with my thumb, and prefer a fixed site that moves with you until you choose a zoom sight for, say, a rifle. This sight is hard to zero in with and almost impossible to use on a moving target. Choose not to use aiming mode and who knows where your shots will land? If you're happy thumbing it, then it won't be a problem for you.

But over and over I found the missions (played on medium difficulty) to be obnoxious. The save system sucks big time, and you too often find yourself playing an entire level over and over again if you mess up. There are checkpoints here and there, but you lose them if you have to quit. I don't always want, or have the time, to play through an entire level. Granted, they aren't horribly long, but I'm the type of player who likes to take his time and look around. If you're the blow-through-as-fast-as-I-can type, it might not be a problem for you. I just put it away in frustration after getting tired of failing several times for no apparent reason on the 3rd mission (the "rescue the girls from zombies" one).

That's about the gist of it for me. With other reviews being so glowing it may be that I just don't "fit" the game. Or, maybe, having played Future Perfect first ruined it for me. Still, that doesn't remove the frustration factor from this one. Sad, that, since, as I said at the beginning, I absolutely love love LOVE Future Perfect. That game really has it all! If you haven't played either this or Future Perfect, I strongly recommend FP but you might want to rent this one (if you can find it) or buy it very cheap.

I have just finished reading Blood and Bone by Austin Camacho. I was impressed. It was good stuff for a new detective novel. A Realistic layout of the baltimore washington metro area as a part of the crime scene. Mr. Camacho breathes enough into his characters for them to have life and believability. The words flow at a smooth pace to maintain interest and more then enough mystery to keep the reader glued to the page. The details of the characters are old school much like the authors of yesteryears. The action is brisk and fits well into the story not action for the sake of action or lack of words. Mr. Camacho has the ability to make you feel his characters pain especially Hannibal Jones. His short coming may be that he hasn't developed the knack to make you think you would recognize Hannibal if you saw him on the , by the way he walk or the wrap around Oakley sun glasses.

Disappointing

The game is okay, but I was expecting much better. The graphics are plain and very cartoon-ish. This is, quite simply, an average first person shooter.

Timesplitters 2 is going to rock!...

Timesplitters 2 is going to be made by the famous Goldeneye team, that made the classic on N64. Timesplitters 2 is going to feature blistering single player levels, and also many more multiplayer features, including the ability to create your own multiplayer level, like the 1st one. It will also get to use the Network Adapter to let players play against one another.
