Gameplay
"Masterful"
Fast shooting, instinctive handling and a flood of zany weapons: this FPS from the GoldenEye creators runs on briskness and humour. Split-screen multiplayer and a map editor multiply a near-endless replay value. Technically dated, but with a fluidity and a sense of fun that still land during an evening in the hands.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Hopping from one era to another, blasting wacky enemies and bumping into humour at every turn: this FPS never takes itself seriously, and that's its greatest strength. The multiplayer mode, overflowing with characters and crazy options, turns every match into hilarious chaos. Snappy, generous and utterly unburdened, a treat among friends.

TimeSplitters - Future Perfect (GameCube) price, value & rarity
The NTSC release of TimeSplitters Future Perfect is the US version of Free Radical Design's FPS via EA. Collector value comes from the cult status of the TimeSplitters sub-series.
Better with friends
A zany first-person shooter whose split-screen multiplayer overflows with wacky modes, bots and options to fiddle with for four. Joyful chaos rules: goofy weapons, improbable characters and vertical arenas flip matches in an instant. Competition and laughter go hand in hand, and the map editor endlessly extends the urge to restart for fresh madness.
Is TimeSplitters - Future Perfect still worth playing in 2026?
The last entry by Free Radical Design before the studio's dissolution, TimeSplitters Future Perfect perfects the arcade FPS formula of the former GoldenEye 007 developers. The campaign travels through several eras with constant offbeat humour, the local multiplayer up to sixteen players remains a peak of arcade fun, and the map editor brings phenomenal replay value. For anyone who misses joyful and accessible old school console FPS, the title remains an absolute reference of the genre today still.
