People love to talk about how "in my day, games didn't need day-one patches" and ignore things like the PS2 launching with a game that feels like a proof of concept demo at best.
There's no story to speak of, simply a series of very short levels. The only reason this might take you more than 30 minutes to beat is because the levels are full of deadly-accurate enemies with hitscan weapons that spawn in behind you with zero warning. I'm not a huge fan of Timesplitters 2, but the jump from 1 to 2 is a leap the size of Springfield Gorge. This feels like it was made in about 6 months. Turok 1 is more impressive than this, and Turok 1 sucks.
TS1 does at least run at 60fps, though that's accomplished by also running at a VERY low resolution. I don't know the number exactly, but it's 240p at most, likely lower.
At this point I've decided to simply make a list of games I've optimistically revisited that did not change my mind.
3/10
