TimeSplitters 2

The moment we?ve all been waiting for has arrived; Eidos made with the TimeSplitters 2 multiplayer code, and the GamePros got down and dirty with the ?Splitters.

Eidos finally let loose some multiplayer code for TimeSplitters 2, and even in this early version, it?s already sweet. The sequel to a PS2 launch title known for its emphasis on multiplayer action over a single-player story, TimeSplitters 2 will up the ante by featuring fully fledged story-mode levels and an overarching plot by the masterminds behind GoldenEye 007 for the N64.

Naturally, though, what everyone wants to know about is the multiplayer mode, and rest assured, it looked nice in the early builds. All three preview versions played very smoothly, though the Xbox and GameCube versions featured graphical touches that the PS2 simply couldn?t handle. Learning the controls was effortless, and to be honest, the GameCube controller seemed perfect for TimeSplitters 2?its button layout was the best of the bunch. TS2?s single-player mode might be more fleshed out than the original?s, but it?s the multiplayer mode that people are lining up for, and thankfully, it should be worth the wait.
