A very good choice as a casual gaming experience...

Man, I was wary about this. Ten bucks, bottom of the used game shelf at EB Games. I remembered it from a friends house a while back, but we played it at like 2 in the morning, so anything with pretty lights and explosions would have seemed good. I decided to get it, cause I had, like, ten bucks to blow. So I thought, why not? Well, plus, the store was literally closing right as I was leaving... Got home, popped it in the Wii, and it was like... I can't even describe! Ok, people, it's got a cheesy story that's spread thinner than the natural oils on a person's skin. But hey, the gameplay is good! Plus, I liked being thrown into a completely different scenario and, quite literally, someone else's shoes every mission. Every level, there's a new story, a new villain, a new world to be explored! Who cares about the story! I didn't come here for a Zelda caliber theatrical performance! I CAME HERE FOR ENTERTAINMENT!!! Zelda and Halo and Morrowind and other such games are fine if you have a while to sit back and enjoy it, but what if you're like me? Don't get me wrong, I like those games just as much as the next guy, but sometimes you don't feel like that. You want a buss pass to the next quick and uncomplicated gaming experience, instead of waiting in line for three hours just listening to a guy talk about how you have to save a princess from a newly awakened evil.
It has very good multiplayer, and I was even impressed by the ability to not only make levels, but also to create missions! Most FPS's don't even let you make levels, let alone missions!
"But what about Halo 3?" you say.
"Halo 3? HA! You call that level design? I call it adding pointless items to pre-made levels!" I say.
Simply put... TIMESPLITTERS 2 IS MY NEW FAVORITE CASUAL GAMING EXPERIENCE!!!
Ten to twenty hours of experience with this game has revealed all I need to know. I beat the game, and most of the beginner's league, and this game keeps on rockin'.
