It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.Item DescriptionTimeSplitters 2 has the soul of a late-night GoldenEye session and the attention span of a Saturday morning cartoon. Free Radical Design was founded by developers who had helped make Rare's GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, and this 2002 sequel is where their new studio hit its stride: tight, fast first-person shooting wrapped around a time-travel premise that lets the game leap from a frozen Siberian dam to 1930s Chicago to a robot factory in the far future without ever stopping to explain itself.The story mode follows space marines Sergeant Cortez and Corporal Hart as they chase stolen time crystals through history, stepping into the shoes of a local character in each era, from the Wild West to an Aztec ruin to a neon-lit future Tokyo. Each level is a compact, objective-driven mission with its own weapons and enemies, and that opening dam in Siberia reads as a knowing wink at the team's past. The whole campaign can be played in two-player split-screen co-op, which turns it into a chaotic run-and-gun with a friend.Arcade mode is where most players lived. Up to four friends could crowd around one screen with a roster of more than a hundred characters, from gangsters and robots to zombies, monkeys and a gingerbread man, across a big menu of match types, with computer bots to fill out the room. Challenge mode adds bite-sized tests of skill and silliness, like smashing panes of glass with bricks or lopping the heads off zombies, while the Arcade League hands out medals for set scenarios. Then there is MapMaker, a surprisingly flexible tile-based editor for building your own arenas and placing the weapons and spawn points, a feature that felt years ahead of most console shooters.Graeme Norgate's soundtrack shifts its style to suit every era, and the game's goofy sense of humor keeps even the most frantic deathmatch light. TimeSplitters 2 was widely acclaimed on release and has only grown as a cult favorite since the series went quiet after TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. If your GameCube's four controller ports have mostly hosted Smash and Mario Kart, this is the disc that turns them into a shooter night, the way it was meant to be played: shoulder to shoulder, one screen, no headsets.
