    Everything it promises to be: an old-school shooter with a zany, slightly raunchy style that you really won't find anywhere else.

    The save system is crummy.

    What it's missing is the wow factor; the amazement you get from playing a console launch title and a launch title sequel that's even better.

    Much of the run-and-gun action is marvelously good but whenever we were just starting to get comfortable with a level or a particular set of weapons, the game was already zipping us off to someplace new.

    As the prison dietician said, "There's big fat pros & cons to be found here!". Future Perfect is a good-looking game on the Gamecube although it sometimes lacks in detail to go with the pretty colours on the surface. It's smooth to play thanks to the excellent control system and it's an undoubted blast right from the very outset. The variety on offer seems to be good as you're given the option to drive several vehicles, take control of various static weaponry and play the game form the perspective of your past and future self. However, if you examine this variation it is rather shallow. All the vehicles handle the same, the weaponry on offer looks ace but performs pretty badly and the multiple-time line approach to the gameplay seems to be an excuse to not have to design another scenario but instead force you to play the exact same section twice. Even the aforementioned smooth control system is hindered by the lack of visual bounce when you walk - it's like you're hovering or skating along at all times and for something so basic to be missing is very disappointing for a game of this magnitude. This would be forgivable if the game was huge but the fact is that, as has always been the case in Timesplitters games, the single player story mode is woefully short both of missions and indeed story. Yes the cooperative mode does enhance the fun that can be had while it lasts, and the nicely humorous characters (especially the Riddick-esque Cortez) combined with sometimes surprisingly spectacular levels (loved the haunted mansion!) ensure that your experience will be a very fun one. However, there is simply no getting away from the fact that outside of the multi-player aspects there is very little on offer. I'd advise a rental before buying, or maybe JUST a rental.… Collapse

    No online or system-link? Lame.
