"Classic"
Future Perfect extends the series' temporal madness with a more polished look: Sergeant Cortez leaps from era to era, from a 1960s gothic manor to a cyberpunk future, each level in a bold, colorful style. Parodic humor pervades the settings and caricatured characters. A generous, unhinged art direction, true to the Free Radical spirit.
Graeme Norgate again delivers a chameleon soundtrack that fits each era crossed, from nervy rock to futuristic pads to parodic nods. The catchy themes fuel the energy of the firefights while keeping the series' humor. A dynamic, mischievous accompaniment, a Free Radical trademark.
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.
The dedicated espagnole edition of TimeSplitters Futuro Perfecto is the PAL regional variant with full en espagnol localisation. Collector value comes from that regional specificity, a segment where localised GameCube pressings stayed rare.
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 - Futuro Perfecto 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.
