Amazon.com Product Description
Time Splitters was developed by the creators of the revolutionary first-person shooter Golden Eye 007. The plot centers on the Time Splitters, an evil race that exists outside of time and space. Battling in three different eras (1935-1955, 1985-2000, and 2015-2035), you must destroy the aliens and restore the timeline. There are 24 unique playable characters and levels, plus over 20 weapons from which to choose. The separately sold Sony Multitap accessory allows four gamers to battle it out in multiplayer scenarios. Create even your own Deathmatch levels by using the mapmaker editor.

Weak single player, great multiplayer May 6, 2005
During the PS2 launch, good games were scarce. But along came Timesplitters and it showed some of the great graphics(at the time) that the PS2 could handle. Although the single player was ultimately forgettable, it was the multiplayer that made the game so much fun. Getting some of your buddies over or even with bots was a blast. The levels were great as well as the weapons which seemed reminiscent of Goldeneye which had some of the same people on both teams as you all know. Overall, if your looking for a great multplayer game on the PS2 or if you want to see the original Timesplitters then you should track down a copy of this game.
 Possibly better than Time Splitters 2 August 29, 2004

In this the weapons are better than in TS2(Times Splitters 2), it is alot cooler to select a character(it may have caused the long loading times), the music is more memorable(you have the option on TS2 to have the music of this...). The multiplayer is better in this than Halo but not single player. If you want to just shoot things this is the game for you if you've not got it yet.
TimeSplitters- Simply awesome!!! July 6, 2004

What's this I see before me? People bleating and moaning and blah blah blahing about shoddy controls? YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID!!!!! If you had bothered to check the in-game menu's you would have found the option that allowed you to CUSTOMISE YOUR OWN CONTROLS! Wow, wasn't that hard? Now the controls can be as simple as you all obviously are!Anyway, rant about morons over, onto the game. Incredible. weak single player storyline granted but I will personally shake the hand of anyone who can do the Egyptian level on hard in less than 30 seconds to unlock the Teeth Mummy as a playable character. I did it (after 2 years)
This game really shines in multiplayer mode which, quite frankly, cannot be faulted on any level. The gameplay runs more smoothly than any other FPS available on PS2 from this time and if you are lucky enough to own a PS2 multitap and have 3 PS2 owning friends, the Deathmatch mode will quite literally keep you entertained for hours and hours at a time. I remember many an afternoon spent happily running around the beautifully constructed environs of this game fragging my mates to my hearts'content. Adding into this the fact that the level editor allows you to create your own levels, the possibilities for a truly well-humoured bloodbath are practically endless.
Challenge mode also rocks and challenges they certainly are, more than adequate to make up for the rather mediocre single player experience.
So, to recap, those gamers looking for a single-player orientated game should probably avoid 'Splitters cause the single player aint up to much, buy TimeSplitters 2 instead. Those gamers looking for a well-polished, smooth-running gaming experience with a near infinite multiplayer shelf-life, 'Splitters is THE game for you. Controls are easy to master because they are CUSTOMISABLE if you bother to hunt through the menus (which apparently many people did not) All in all an extremely enjoyable, well presented gaming experience with an exceptional replay value and unsurpassed deathmatching, both of which more than make up for the poor single player experience.
