"One of the best releases of 2005"

Time Splitters 3 Future Perfect really is perfect. The graphics are good, it has a great storyline, amazing gameplay, and extraordinary multiplayer.
You have to get this game.

Graphics: 8/10
The graphics I'd give an 8 out of 10. They are great but nothing compared to Doom 3 or Half Life 2. Peoples legs no longer look expanded and inflated like they did in TS2. The detail on the environments is great looking, and makes the game look beutiful.

Gameplay: 10/10
This game is extraordinary fun and addictive. The game itself features a multiplayer mode, single player, challenges, a mapmaker, and a coop game, as well as X-box live if you have it on the X-box. The challenges are wild minigames where you race cats, survive zombies, throw crates in a ring, etc. You get different awards depending on how good you did, the better the trophy, the more stuff you unlock. If you get awards by doing well and completing the challenges, you unlock new characters in multiplayer mode, as well as cheats. Arcade is an even better multiplayer experience than Halo 2. Sure Halo 2 is fun in multiplayer, but can you lock yourself in a disco room filled with Harry Tippers (Similar to Austin Powers) and survive by beating them down with baseball bats? No, you can't. It's a very fun game with lots to do.

Storyline: 8/10
This Time Splitters actually has a storyline unlike Time Splitters 2. It has cutscenes to show the game's storyline. However, the storyline can get pretty confusing sometimes. If you were on a train fighting bad guys and yourself came to rescue would you be confused? Sure you would. Yes, that's right. You can actually team up with your past and future self, because the game involves time traveling to different time eras to stop Jacob Crow, a mysterious madman bent on becoming immortal. It also has some comedy, where some of Cortez's friends think he's nuts because he has this really crappy motto where he yells out: "It's time to split!". Cortez, by the way, is the main character.

Replay rating: 10/10
You are bound to replay this game many times to unlock all of the arcade mode multiplayer characters, ande have big multiplayer matches with your friends. The Story mode is very fun, also.

Multiplayer: 10/10--Perfect
Multiplayer on this game is amazing. Fight with up to 10 bots in more than a dozen multiplayer maps, or make your own. This gmae also has vehicles, but they have no turret on the back! That's too bad, because all you can use the vehicles for are transport, or turning other players into roadkill. You can also make easy to make multiplayer or story mode maps with map maker. The mapmaker makes map making ease, as it has pre-made rooms that you just fit together any way you like. You can also throw in some objects to make the rooms in your level have a nice look. Also, you can make up to 4 cars in your level. It's always fun to run people over, after all. There is also an assault mode where one team is the defenders, and the other team tries to break into the enemy base to complete a number of objectives. It's very fun.

Overall: 9/10--Great
You have to get this game. It's so fun! And you can always team up with a friend to play through the story mode, it's great to play with your friends, or alone. So go buy this game and have fun.

PS: This is a fun multiplayer mode. Make 10 bots in the Disco level. Make half of them Harry Tipper's and the other half Swingin' Tippers. Set all the weapons to baseball bats and have fun.
