TimeSplitters. Underappreciated gem of the PS2 launch lineup. Awesome multiplayer modes to keep you and 3 friends busy for weeks.

Free Radical, the developers of N64's Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, and as of late, the TimeSplitters series, have answered just about every complaint gamers had about the original. Story mode feels alot like their previous console FPS's, with multiple objectives throughout the creative, story-based levels. Multiplayer is even more polished than the previous title, thanks to a slew of new modes and levels. 126 individual unlockable characters. The only problem that still lingers? It's hard. Not just "Hey, I gotta play this part over again" hard, either. We're talking "OMG I JUST THREW MY CONTROLLER OUT TEH WINDOW!!!!" hard.

IGN's TimeSplitters 2 guide will help you unlock the secrets, shoot through the story mode, pass the challenges, and everything else there is to do in Free Radical & Eidos' TimeSplitters 2. Men in Gray whooping you? Jacque de la Morte's evilness getting you a bit peeved? The monkeys just looking too darn cute to snipe? You've come to the right place... IGN Guides.
