so full, OVERFLOWING, with personality, character, and charisma. still the only timesplitters title I've played but I'm happy to say Cortez is one of my favourite protagonists ever. just amazing, hilarious delivery with every single line. I've been ultimately more fascinated with this game for the supplementary features, arcade modes (with my favourite variation on infected modes), challenge modes (incl cat driving, basketball, time trials), custom map makers, all on top of a... pretty GOOD... campaign.
the time travel elements keep things feeling largely fresh and exciting the whole way through, swapping locations, characters, and weapons at the drop of a hat, but this game's fatal flaw is just in a sort of dated gameplay style; operating much like older James Bond titles like Goldeneye with many lazy and linear corridor sections and a pretty similar aiming style -- but that's pretty much it. definitely dated, imperfect, but impossible to hate, let alone dislike.
