'''''TimeSplitters 2''''' is a [[first-person shooter]] [[video game]], developed by [[Free Radical Design]], published by [[Eidos Interactive]], and released in October 2002 for [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and [[GameCube]]. The game's story focuses on the efforts of a space marine who seeks to recover powerful time crystals from a race of alien mutants called TimeSplitters, which leads them to taking on the form of an individual dealing with their own problems across different time periods between the 19th and 25th century. The developers focused on expanding the story element following 2000's ''[[TimeSplitters (video game)|TimeSplitters]]'', and features influences from various film genres, including [[horror film|horror]], [[action film|action]] and [[science fiction]].

Alongside the story mode, which can be played solo or co-operatively, players can also engage in multiplayer modes and create their own maps. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its improvements on its predecessor as well as its multiplayer gameplay and graphics, though criticised its story and lack of online gameplay. ''TimeSplitters 2'' was later followed by a sequel, ''[[TimeSplitters: Future Perfect]]'', in 2005.

TimeSplitters 2, along with the other games in the trilogy, were re-released on the PS4 and PS5 as a PS2 Classic in 2024, with trophy support, a rewind feature and improved loading times.<ref>https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/EP4062-PPSA23801_00-TIMESPLITTERSTWO</ref>
