    I ain't Googlin' that!

    Time Crisis 3 and Timesplitters 2 for me, please.

    I think TC3 is another great addition to the series.
    I love the no-frills blasting and shortcuts of the original, the 2-player co-op of the sequel and the 3rd game has both of those, plus the addition of the weapon selection.

    Something I think is worth mentioning is that it feels like you get your money's worth with each credit on TC3.
    You're constantly spotting something new ("Oooh, a bonus guy on a parachute!") and the weapon selection feels like an action movie as you switch to shotgun to clear a corridor or explosives to take out a boss turret.

    I've never got massively far, but I always feel like I've had good fun playing it.



    Timesplitters 2 is great, but it's been a looong time since I played it.
    In fact the last time was with [MENTION=13193]nakamura[/MENTION] at some show (Manchester?) where he enthused about the 60fps that makes it run so buttery.

    I don't think I really clicked that it was ultimately a Vs. shooter, rather than a story.
    By this point, I'd have played a load of PC shooters like Unreal Tournament and Quake III: Arena.
    Plus, I don't think we had many couch sessions with this, which is where it shines.

    I still love the idea of players throughout history coming together to do battle.
    Like a violent Excellent Adventure.

      Have ranted and raved about Time Crisis 3 elsewhere in the past but just to reiterate: it's a stone cold classic. Just the perfect level of innovation with the formula. One of my biggest regrets is not having gotten the 1CC, my best effort being roughly 30 seconds from the end.

        I really don't know TC3 well at all and I would love to give it more time one day. I've always thought of it as a poor relation to the almighty TC2.

        I voted for Timesplitters 2. To be honest, I don't think it would stand up today, but I had so much fun with it at the time. The story levels were really cool and varied and the challenge levels provided some very enduring entertainment. Four player splitscreen was great also. A really cool package and I love the art style and hand drawn animation, it's really distinctive to this day.

          Just Tony Hawk's for me. I was probably losing interest by part 4 but still enjoying enough.
