TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (Xbox, 2005)

The upside: Timesplitters FP has good gameplay and it's a game that will entertain you for the rest of your video game playing life. The story line is way better than the first two versions of TS. The arcade, a gamemode that allows many different varieties of gameplay; including deathmatches, capture the bag, virus, assault, etc; was wonderfully upgraded with new weapons, better levels, vehicle use (only in Siberia map or can be placed in a mapmaker map), and plenty new characters. This feature, which was placed in the previous TS titles, gives the player a larger variety of entertainment. The music is well constructed and motivates or soothes the player during gameplay. The mapmaker was upgraded and is pretty decent on the TSFP title. More and more features were added to mapmaker to give the player more opportunities to use, like the ability to have a sky with weather and sky display, vehicles, switches to operate doors, autoturrents, and cameras, tuned up objects to place, and the ability to create your own assault game. Characters now have their own weaknesses and strengths (mainly shock, fire, water proof types) and have their own little catchphrases when players choose them.

The downside: Graphics still have a soggy look to them, and too much cartoonistic features. Sound effects were a bit cheesy, and weapon sfx didn't quite match their weapon. AI lacked the I, for if an NPC (non-player character) shot a pistol at you, they would take five seconds to shoot again (I could of shot that person 10 times before he/she shot again), and in zones gamemode, they spend 9/10 the time trying to conquer all the zones and 1/10 on shooting others. Same goes for assault, the defenders shoot, but the attackers go straight for the main goal, and only shoot either when shot at, or the goal is not within sight. NPCs shoot automatics like they are rapidly shoot a pistol. Instead of shooting a machine gun at full speed, they shoot the gun like they're taking their finger off the trigger after every single shot fired. If you are on a wide-open map, and an NPC is trying to shot you, you could just simply run around the NPC and the poor sucker can't hit you, so their aim matches the IQ of a walnut. And what ever happened to choosing arcade difficulty? Instead of having easy, medium, and frantic, difficulty of NPCs is now based on their stats and ranking. This cuts off the challenge of arcade!

Overall, the game is entertaining and a good party game, but the computer work behind it isn't all that.

If your a fan of the Timesplitters series or just a guy looking for a solid FPS this game delivers on all fronts. Don't be put off by the ordinary graphics. Even though their definetly not Halo caliber the physics and gameplay are just as refined in there own respect(having played both games). This timesplitter has better aiming than the previous one. You actual snipe in this one which was nearly impossible in the other. The script and humor of the series has always been its trump card and the chessy montages and off-beat humor are sharper than ever with groovy super secret agents and all. I love how the game never takes itself seriously while still being an intense shooter. This series has been outshined since its timesplitter 2 days with games like Halo over shadowing it but let the graphics fool you, this is definetly a diamond in all the mediocore FPS ruff.

This is an awesome game. The Timesplitters franchise has always been awesome, but this is the very best. The story mode play has been revamped since its last installment. This story you play as Seargent Cortez, a buff space dude. You're timeline is always switching, but it does often go in the direction increasing. You start in the future, in the middle of the Timesplitter War. After the 2nd game, Cortez has brought back the Time Crystals for trying to end the war. You go to the year 1924 all the way to 2250. Cortez meets a variety of weirdo characters like a 60s guy who is really humorous. Besides the story, there is always the beautiful arcade mode. There are some many modes ranging from the original deathmatch to the craziest mode ever, Monkey Assistant. There have always been the wide cast of characters, including story characters. 150 characters to be exact. Weapons has also been a huge variety. Pistols, machine guns, shotguns, rockets, misillanious weaponry (Several funny weapons). The arcade league is a very enjoyable mode, yet so freakin difficult. It's a fixed group of arcade matches that can be easy or freaking hard. Challenge mode is a variety of confusingly made levels using arcade levels with weird stuff that has been with Timesplitters forever. For example, one challenge is as a scientist with a shotgun killing horde after horde of zombie monkeys. The other features are Mapmaker and XBOX live (only on XBOX). Mapmaker is a mode were you can make your own arcade maps, or even story missions. XBOX Live is a mode where you can play against other people online. The music is a very long list. There is even a version of 'Like a Robot' called 'Like a Monkey'. Thats my review, and i knew missed a few things, but i got the majority of the stuff.

I have played all three Timesplitters games. And the games just keep getting better. I loved everything about it. Endless hours of gameplay even outside of the story mode. Online or offline, this game is just too much fun!!

This is probably the best custom game out there. I played this game every night while deployed to Afghanistan and now I can play it every night at home. I still have levels to accomplish and different characters to unlock. Awesome. The actual game part of the game is only a first person shooter, but the more important part of the game is the multiplayer option. You can also play the actual game with a friend with the split screen mode. This game has everything.

(I bought this game for my son and so this is his reveiw):
the thing I like most about the game is it's great intense game play. And the thing i love about the game is it's map making ability. And the game had no bad points. so in my opinion it is one of the best games I have ever played. the reason why i bought the game is because i played the second one and it was a really fun game too and i heard this one was better so i had to try it out.

This was one of the best games I have ever played and can't wait for the next one, all of the levels where challenging and exciteing.

Awesome game, one of my all time favorites. Can't wait for a 360 version. Lots of challenging levels, great online play and challenges. Like this game a lot more than Halo.

I bought Time splitters about a week ago and just got it. Works perfectly! Come without case tho. But besides that it's pretty much all good.

It is a great game. Story mode isn't that long, but lots of arcade games you can play to unlike goodies. Great overall story in the game. Lots of different weapons to use and fun game play. Awesome game in general.

Let's say you're like me. You are a child of the 80s, your first video game system was an Atari and then the original NES when you were still in elementary school. You stayed with Nintendo through the SNES and were completely enamoured with Goldeneye 007 on the N64. You thought the original Perfect Dark was darn good, but as you got older and moved on to Playstation or XBox, those days were gone and Goldeneye 007 was just a very fond memory.

Along came Timesplitters 2 and then Timesplitters: Future Perfect. These games claimed to have the essence of those Goldeneye 007 multiplayer matches down pat. And although you would immediately cry out that such a bold declaration was blasphemy... Those game designers and marketing guys were RIGHT.

Now, if you are the superfan of tactical team shooters, pass this game up. But if you got a group of the guys together and aren't spoiled enough to shun split-screen action, this game totally rocks. Future Perfect has a whole mess of players to choose from, with dozens upon dozens that you can unlock. Some are staunch soldiers, others are embarassingly goofy. There's no sprinting, lying prone, or even jumping. Just run and gun, and talk trash to your buddies throughout the match. To liven things up, you can add a dozen AI enemies to the mix. Future Perfect also includes the maps and characters found in Timesplitters 2, but both are worth the buy.

As you can find excellent copies of either game on here for $10-$20 or so, the buy is even more worth it. (And if you so choose to play as the "Accountant" or "Lawyer" in their black suits, it might as well be Goldeneye 007 all over again!)

the best part about this game is it never gets old, there is so much to do, story mode, co op story mode, map maker, challanges, multiplayer, its great

Good game. Love playing it. Great multi-player death match, fun and excitement throughout the whole game.

I love the multi-player option of having bots in with the human players. Another reason I like it is because the challange mode is hard but not impossibale to beat. The two story players mode is awesome as well.

action not as fast as i like it , but still fairly interesting . story line easy to follow , but gets slow during play . an average role playing game , but i enjoyed it .

Un des meilleurs jeux de la xbox. Si vous avez aimé le jeu Halo 2, vous allez adorer celui-ci. Le mode coopération à 2 et les modes multijoueurs sont très divertisant. À acheter!

this game reminds me of all the original james bond and perfect dark and i just find the game plot humerious pplus it has coop so i can play with my friends

I had first bought this game because i loved the timesplitters 2 game for xbox, and was hoping that this one would do the series justice. I am happy to say that I was not let down at all. From beginning to end, everything about this game is great. The storyline is adventurous and exciting, while being very humorous at the same time. The challenge and arcade league modes provide a fun way to challenge yourself without engaging in a storyline. Like number 2, the mapmaker in this is very creative, allowing you to make your own levels and customize them in many ways possible. However, one of the greatest things about this game is multiplayer. With 150 characters, an unbelievable amount of insane weapons, and a fun gameplay system, you need to only find some friends and you will be having fun for hours. This game is an excellent product, and well worth however much money one might invest into it.
