TimeSplitters 2

GameShark

As a PS2 shooter it's the best I've ever played - I can't emphasize that point enough.

PSX Nation

Whether it be blasting gun-toting monkeys or zombified idiots, Timesplitters 2 has awesome AI. I just cannot say enough about how well done the enemies are in the game.

GamePro

It has the modes, the weapons, and the attitude to have hardcore FPS maniacs swimming in puddles of their own drool.

Game Chronicles

An FPS game that has a fun and effective two-player cooperative mode in the story, and a multiplayer mode that is the tops of anything on the market for console games, TS2 is the pinnacle for which FPS’s of the future will try to attain. Enough reading.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

I haven't been sleeping much, because I can't put this game down...Easily one of the best first-person shooters out there - on any system. [Dec 2002, p.176]

Total Video Games

A true gamers game, there’s no storyline to worry about, no complex gameplay mechanics, just simple pure and unadulterated fun.

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

As vital to PS2 has your central nervous system is to your brain. [Jan 2007, p.106]

GamerWeb Sony

The best FPS currently out on PS2.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

Zen-balanced succulent gameplay. Sublime in single-player, supreme with friends. [PSM2]

GameZone

This is one of the most action filled and intense gaming experiences that I have had to date.

TotalGames.net

The most complete FPS we have ever seen. This is it. We have it now. We have a game that is as essential to your console happiness as a memory card, Dual Shock and big comfy armchair.

GamingTrend

The big things presented here are no slowdown, nice graphics, co-op Story mode play, a good amount of single and multi-player options outside of the Story mode and a plethora of extras and cheats to obtain.

IGN

A finely tuned, highly customizable, intensely exciting first-person console shooter...deep with choices, options, and tons of cheats, rewards, and bonuses.

Gamer's Pulse

A masterpiece within its time.

PSM Magazine

One of the more challenging titles in the genre with a difficulty that ramps up pretty quickly. [Nov 2002, p.36]

Cheat Code Central

This game got more play on my machine then the Culkins at Neverland ranch.

Adrenaline Vault

The sequel is a complete game rather than just a multiplayer vehicle.

Yahoo! Games

The multiplayer is a stroke of genius, destined to keep players coming back for more, long after the single-player has faded away from memory. Only the best type of gaming experience can do this.

Game Over Online

This has to be one of the best titles that’s come out for every console this year.

Gaming Maxx

Edges out "Red Faction 2" just by a hair. "Red Faction"'s single player mode is much more intense but lacks the cooperative campaign mode that Timesplitters 2 did.

TotalPlayStation

With an intriguing Story mode, addicting Arcade battles, and a Challenge mode that truly puts you to the test, it’s no secret that the key features that made "GoldenEye" such a hit leaked its way into the TimeSplitters world.

GameSpy

Easily the system's best multiplayer FPS, with a surprising amount of single-player action.

GameSpot

May very well be the best split-screen multiplayer-focused first-person shooter ever created.

Absolute Playstation

Similar to the last outing [the story levels] may be tough to get through, but they are a bit on the short side.

GameCritics

This gleeful variety is ultimately what gives TimeSplitters 2 most of its staying power.

Game Informer

A solid, great-looking game, just not the masterpiece I was hoping for. [Dec 2002, p.123]

Electronic Gaming Monthly

This is, without a doubt, the best first-person shooter you'll find on the PS2. [Dec 2002, p.224]

GameNow

One of the best multi-player experiences you'll find on the PS2. [Dec 2002, p.66]

Play Magazine

A basic first-person shooter with the action quotient set on full throttle, but everything about TimeSplitters 2 is handled skillfully and stylishly, pieced together with a scintillating polish. [Nov 2002, p.64]

GMR Magazine

Everything good about the original is here, with loads of new multiplayer options including maps, weapons, and game modes, too. [Feb 2003, p.80]

Armchair Empire

Will satisfy multiplayer junkies’ needs but will leave single player fanatics wanting more.

G4 TV

What it lacks in compelling story, it more than makes up for in gameplay and character, and that's really where it counts.

Entertainment Weekly

While the environments are beautiful, the hackneyed time-travel story line feels shoehorned into the experience... [which] ends up feeling a bit half-baked. [4 Oct 2002, p.158]
