I didn't realize TS:FP was so widely hated. I hadn't heard of the series until I read a review in a maqazine and played a demo, it got 9/10 so I gave it a crack. What I played was, in my opinion, the most fun game to play on the PS2 with mates ever. The campaign was brilliant, the characters witty and the weapons weird and wonderful. Trully a series that delivered a fantastic blast-a-thon experience without taking itself too, or even a little, seriously. I shall forgive them the steaming lump that was Haze and hope they deliver the action, humour and sheer entertainment which I associate with the Timesplitter series.
