[quote name='Chacrana']The weapons were unoriginal and not fun to use, since they didn't feel powerful. It wasn't like Resistance where you can at least claim the weapons try to be creative - these just weren't any good. And when the core mechanic of a game - shooting - is shit, well, your game is sunk, buckaroo.
The time-traveling in the single player campaign was hacked together and made no sense. It was like these guys couldn't think of a compelling enough setting, so they just decided to use whatever the
came to mind.
The level designs were clearly cobbled together with the in-game level editor. There were no surprises or cool moments - it was just "hey dude, run through this level!" They didn't even try. It was actually worse than Halo's level design, and that was one of the most piss-poor excuses for a single player game ever.
The multiplayer was like a sped-up Goldeneye to the point where the game felt completely spastic. So basically, it was worse than Goldeneye, and that was not only 3 years old at the time - it was on the damn N64.
The character designs were a precursor to what's often considered "creative" today. That's slang for stupid as hell. Timesplitters 2 retained the stupid designs.
This:
Is not cool. It is objectively crap.
The game did
nothing well.[/quote]
I'll give you that the weapons don't feel powerfull and or are not that fun to use , your right about that.
The time travelling mechanic was weak in the first two games , but was far more fleshed out in the third.
The level designs I'll give you again weren't that great but they sufficed. As far as the multiplayer being just a sped up Goldeneye , I think thats what people were expecting and wanting and personally I like it like that.
As for the character designs , not all of them are that bad , but I think most of them are funny in that goofy kind of way.
