Product Description
-------------------
Time Splitters was developed by the creators of the
revolutionary first-person shooter Golden Eye 007. The plot
centres on the Time Splitters, an evil race existing 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 to choose from. The separately sold Sony
Multitap accessory allows four gamers to battle it out in
multiplayer scenarios. Even create your own death-match levels
with the maker editor.

-------------
Rather than just follow the latest first-person shooter trends,
Eidos Interactive's TimeSplitters gets its inspiration from the
granddaddy of all first-person shooters, Doom. Shunning GoldenEye
007's stealth approach to the action, here you have plenty of
ammo and an assortment of over 25 different high-powered weapons
(both authentic time-period weapons, like the Carbine and the
Blunderbuss, and more familiar weapons like the sniper and
the pistol). All you will need to do is lock, load and go in with
s blazing. The arcade mode in TimeSplitters allows you to
customise your weapons, allowing you to carry five different arms
from any found in the game.
The one thing that this game does share with GoldenEye 007 is its
incredible speed. One of the goals the design team set out to
achieve is a lightning fast frame rate of 60 frames-per-second,
and so far it looks as though they have blasted through the speed
barrier with TimeSplitters.
The heart and soul of this game is its multiplayer mode, with a
groundbreaking maker feature in tow. Its multiplayer modes
consist of a two-player co-operative mode, deathmatch, Capture
the Bag, Bank Job, Last Stand (players against a huge assortment
of enemies), Escort (protect another character through an entire
level), Knock Out, Tag and Reverse Tag play modes. The
game also offers a single-player component that will include nine
levels that span a few decades, from the early part of the 20th
century to the middle of the 21st Century. They are in order:
Tomb 1935, Village 1950, Mansion 1965, Chinese 1970, Industrial
1985, Docks 2000, Sci-Fi 2005, Planet 2020 and Launch 2035.

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
In the hundred years spanning the millennium (1935-2035), a
disparate bunch of heroes and villains battle against their own
challenges. Although each is unaware of the others, they all
share an ageless common spirit of adventure, but unknown to them
their daring actions have attracted the attention of the
TimeSplitters.
The TimeSplitters are an evil race dwelling outside of time and
space. For aeons they have manipulated the e of humanity for
their own malign ends, with cursed shards of crystal they have
sown fear, greed and conflict throughout history. Now roused from
an ancient , the TimeSplitters cross the threshold from
their shadowy dimension, ripping through the fabric of time
itself to confront our heroes. Can our heroes unite against a
common enemy to realise a greater destiny? Or will humanity be
consigned forever to a realm ruled under the shadow of the
TimeSplitters?
