Gamespot UK posted a review of the first-person shooter, TimeSplitters:

TimeSplitters is unpretentious shooting action and it's a barrel of fun. What it does it does exceptionally well. The multiplayer game is just about as good as a multiplayer shooting game gets and there is a ton of stuff to be unlocked and earned, and the weapons are suitably meaty. We can't help but feel that TimeSplitters is something of a missed opportunity though because with a little more time and imagination spent on the one-player game TimeSplitters would have been the PlayStation2's Perfect Dark. As it is though, it falls some way short of that.

GameDay 2001 plays fairly well, mostly because it features the proven gameplay elements of the GameDay series, such as the total-control passing and running. Total-control passing lets you lead, overthrow, and underthrow your receivers so that you can throw more completions and prevent pesky defenders from intercepting your passes. The total control features in GameDay really make you an active part of a play's success. This sense of control is really the only thing that GameDay 2001 has going for it.

Madden NFL 2001 on the PlayStation 2 is superb. The core game is still true to its 16-bit roots, only now it's far more difficult to differentiate between the game and its real-life inspiration. If a player wears a knee support in reality, you'll find the virtual athlete similarly clad. The same attention to detail applies to the coaching staff, stadia and even the individual playbooks. We can hardly argue with that highly irritating "It's in the game!" chap any more.
