TimeSplitters is a sci-fi first-person shooter developed by Free Radical and published by Eidos for the PlayStation 2 (Platform) (as a launch title) in both North America (on October 26, 2000) and Europe (on November 24, 2000).

The first game developed by Free Radical (comprised of key members of Rare's GoldenEye 007 (Game) development team), TimeSplitters builds on the gameplay and presentation style of GoldenEye 007 while adding a time-traveling campaign (which can be played co-operatively for up to two players), enhanced customizability options for multiplayer (for up to four human players with multitap and ten AI bots), a single-player "Challenge" mode, numerous unlockable characters, and a built-in grid-based level editor known as "MapMaker".

The game's story takes place during nine events throughout the 20th and 21st century, all of which are unrelated except for attracting attention by the TimeSplitters (Concept): an evil alien race that dwells outside of time and space. Each event has players controlling one of two heroes as they fulfill their mission (of collecting something, such as an artifact or a briefcase), before fighting off the TimeSplitters in their hasty exit.

It is the first in a trilogy of games for sixth-generation consoles, with later games expanding on the story, gameplay options, and online multiplayer capability. The game later received a digital release by Deep Silver (Company) as a PS2 Classics (Concept) title for the PlayStation 5 (Platform) and PlayStation 4 (Platform) on August 20, 2024.


Campaign

Each level in the nine-level campaign has one simple goal: grab the objective and head for the exit (shown as a red circle). Players can choose as either protagonist (male or female), with the second player playing the other in co-op play.
