Game Overview

TimeSplitters Future Perfect marks the return of one of the most critically acclaimed console first-person shooters, where victory is in the hands of the player's past, present, and future selves in a battle that stretches throughout time. Humanity is on the brink of destruction from the malevolent TimeSplitters. Cortez the tough-as-nails hero from previous installments finds himself in a frantic race against time in a desperate bid to trace the origin of the TimeSplitters. This third installment of the franchise will feature hundreds of hours of gameplay and an improved Story mode that ties all the missions together, immersing gamers in an epic adventure between the years of 1914 and 2401. Innovative "meet yourself" time travel gameplay lets players be their own ally by teaming up with past and future versions of themselves.

The Good

Tons of variety, Cortez is a great character, Story mode is fun and funny.

The Bad

Story mode is pretty short, Bot AI isn't as good as it could be, The gameplay variants aren't really all that different from one another.

The Bottom Line

In TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, humanity is on the brink of destruction. Cortez, the tough-as-nails hero from previous installments, finds himself in a race against time to trace the origin of the TimeSplitters. With the help of some familiar faces Cortez must chase a mystery foe across different time periods such as the1920s, 1960s, 1990s, and the near and distant future. The ability to travel back will sometimes cause paradoxes resulting in gamers meeting and assisting past and future versions of themselves. Players will also have the ability to correct the mistakes made in the past, or team up with past and future versions of themselves in important battles. Single-player co-op and 16-player Deathmatch are also included.

Expert Reviews

81/100

score

TimeSplitters' charm and "something for everybody" mentality means that you're almost certain to find something to like in Future Perfect.

88/100

score

Simple and intuitive controls make Future Perfect an excellent pickup and party game.

89/100

score

On the one hand, it's a flat, uninspired single-player campaign, with vehicles and base-level NPC co-op play holding it up with shoes strings. While on the other hand, the multiplayer game is substantial, creative, and wildly fun.
