What's so great about timesplitters?

[necromanzer52]

I've only played the first timesplitters.
It had only 9 levels which could each be beaten in under 10 minutes but what really annoyed me is absolutly no storyline.
The multiplayer was quite fun but not enough to hold me over.
I stayed away from the sequels after this but recently I've seen a lot of praise for the series so I was wondering what did they do to make the sequels any better? Do they have a storyline?

This speaks for itself. The game has amazing humor.

well i havent played the first, only the second and third.
however it has many great features - the weapons just feel right, the characters are humorous, the multiplayer is superb. the best split-screen multiplayer action bar none, well maybe COD4 splitscreen, but the play style is very different.
it has fast paced, stylish action and is really fun. i have played the campaigns several times, both co-op and single player. yeah they arent exactly long, but there are all the arcade challenges to occupy your single player time as well.

Well Half Life was...oh wait its not about that.

Timesplitters is a fun game with lost of humor and silly.

Its awesome.

TS2 had an insane multiplayer and huge cast of bizarre characters. FP tried to flesh things out with a storymode that felt like a Sci-Fi Channel movie and adding blood, jiggle physics, and a tacked on gravity gun.
All around, the game is just action packed and humorous but also has a simple FPS charm.

Timesplitters is GoldenEye 64's multiplayer (considering it is made by the people who made GoldenEye 64) polished to a mirror shine and all the bugs worked out of it, and a level editor. Plenty of humour and off beat characters perfect for hanging out with friends.

Until Future Perfect there really wasn't a single player game, but Timesplitters was always about the multiplayer and actually having friends to play with.

Timesplitters 2 is a lot greater than the first one, you should give it a try.

The multiplayer is probably the most fun I've ever had playing a local multiplayer game next to Diablo 2 and GoldenEye, story mode is a collection of humorous missions that are well balanced and satirical action movie spoofs. I didn't get too much into the 3rd part, it seemed a bit too similar, but from what I can tell it was more of the same FPS goodness.

"It's time to split!"
The game was pure gold. Endless fun, alone or with friends.

The third game Timesplitters: Future Perfect had the best story mode of all of the TS games but the first is still and always will be my favourite. The best part about all 3 of these games has always been the multiplayer and i would not hesitate to call them the best shooters on the Playstation console.
