The graphics are smooth and clean, which is to be expected from a PS2 title. The 3D sound was well created and makes it very easy to tell when a creature pops up behind you versus when they are in front of you. Still, I was not blown away by the graphics or the size and complexity of levels in this game considering what the PS2 could offer. You'll also experience considerable slow down if you get too many bots into the mix (but it's still great fun to have 100 bots to plow through).
Perhaps the most inventive part of this game is its control. Because PS2 has the Dual Analog controllers, you get an unprecedented amount of freedom in moving your character. The left analog stick controls your actual movement forward and sideways, while your right analog stick controls your facing and aim. This is probably one of the main reasons that the game is so fast, because you don't have to spend time adjusting your shots and can truly shoot on the run.
Inevitably we find ourselves back at the question: Is this game worth my time and my money? I don't regret buying this game at all. The multiplayer of this game was and still is a whole lot of fun. However, Time Splitters came up short in delivering a title that we know the PS2 is capable of. So if you're looking for a First Person Shooter that will keep you fully engaged in every aspect, this isn't your game. If you're looking for a new, fun game that will give you the standard shoot 'em up hours of enjoyment, then this game is for you.
