Bought it last week, forgot how good it was

Why can't Rare make great games like that anymore? It's such a shame...

This game was ages ahead of its time. Games today rarely have the 2nd weapon mode and any less the bot personality and the such... why gaming have become so shitty?

Because they've been stifled and killed by MS, forced to make Kinect games and Viva Pinata.

Nintendo and Rare was Lennon and McCartney.

The Timesplitters series was made by former Rare employees, hence the similarities XD

hitzones and reaction of enemies to getting hit in said zones is what caused the rating.

there's also the option to toggle the few naughty phrases on and off. I think the enemies would say damn and hell, but that's all. I'm astounded that they were able to get away with so much with Conker, I mean yeah it was near the N64s life, but holyshit. And even accompanied with being able to turn off the censors.

GoldenEye had this too, but I don't remember if the game had as excessive blood, when you shit them. Also bodiea disappeared instantly while the bodies stayed on the floor in PD, albeit to save on memory they would disappear if you left them alone long enough and were in a separate room.

we always had one fistsim in our 4 player scenarios for random slappers/disarms fun.

probably our most played scenario with several bots was a variation of a bearhunt scenario; 6 hard fistsims (secretary body, pilot head) and two dark sims (mr. Blonde).
weapons:
shotgun, sniper, magnum, knife.

Even by 2000 standards it was tame. There was just a slight blood splat on the wall and reddening on the bodies. Sure as shit ain't worth 18.

One thing that people tend to forget is that, with its "combat boost" it was the first game to give us "bullet time" as far as I'm aware. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was even before Max Payne, was it not?

I don't particularly remember that. . I know for instance tgat some weapons such as the tranquilizer made tge screen dizzy... unless is a single player thing which in that case might be the reason why I don't remember. Allways brought my controller to play at my neighbor n64 while he brought his to my place to play smash
