Top 5 Timesplitters Characters




MEANWHILE...

Honourable Mention
Farrah Fun Bunny 1 only
She only appeared in the original Timesplitters, because Timesplitters characters are mad and insane and there's nothing crazy about a sexy bunny girl.

5. Harry Tipper 1/2/FP
The groovy cop from the 60's who ends up a superspy dedicated to babes and taking down the evil Khallos. Harry Tipper is Timesplitters nod to 60's bond and Austin Powers

4. Captain Ash 1/2/FP
The eccentric explorer and soldier, explorers the world for treasure and glory and sweet sweet Jungle Queen Booty. Very very British, Captain Ash is a funny character and even though I probably should find this somewhat offensive, he was created by an english team, so I'll let it pass.

3. Jo Beth Casey 2/FP
The hot zombie slaying teenager introduced in Timesplitters 2, but not getting her own story mission until Future Perfect where she teams up with Cortez. Though her design is much different in Timesplitters 2.
But of course she looked smoking in the designs for the cancelled Timesplitters 4.
2. Monkeys 2/FP
The monkey is a recurring character in the 2nd game and 3rd. Basically David Doak and his team had heard of the Oddjob rule in Goldeneye, a rule which states Oddjob is banned because you have to aim downwards to hit him which takes time, time that gets you killed. So piss on that rule we have the smaller Monkey and then in the 3rd game, we got Zombie Monkeys and Cyborg Chimp, really Robochimp would have been better.
1. Sgt. Cortez 2/FP

The series main hero who didn't show up until Timesplitters 2. In 2 Cortez is this big hard soldier who has to travel through time ala Quantum Leap into people of that era and stop the splitter threat and recover the time crystals. However in Future Perfect, Cortez's character became more cartoonish and in both games he is voiced by Tom Clarke-Hill, the british voice of Tony the Tiger from the Frosties adverts. 
Hell, Cortez is even the announcer in Future Perfect. And that's it, there are so many Timesplitters characters that there is a lot to choose from and it was rather difficult. So if you disagree with my choices, let me know your own. I've been The Joel MH signing off.

MEANWHILE!
