This guide basically outlines what timed secrets can be earned in the 
game's NORMAL mode, what their restrictions are, and how to get them.

======================
TIMED SECRETS (NORMAL)
======================

The most important thing to remember is to keep moving, and only shoot 
enemies that are in your path, don't go off and kill the lone guard in 
the corner who's shooting at you.  If you're running full tilt, he won't 
be shooting at you for long and you'll be long gone.  I'll try to be as 
detailed as I feel is needed for my methods of getting these secrets.  

*IMPORTANT*  
The times that I have listed are the slowest times that I've seen SO FAR 
that work, just to give you an idea of what to aim for.  (The actual 
target time for these stages might be slower than what I have posted 
here.)


1935 Tomb
Priestess Character (3 Minutes 55 Seconds)
Ok this one is actually fairly easy, just keep in mind that speed is
the strategy here.  As soon as the stage starts run forward and shoot
the guard, then quickly go around the right side of the ramp in front
of you and shoot the next guard.  Now turn around and run to the left
of the target area, and pick up the box of bullets.  Now run to the
entrance of the tomb while shooting the two guards outside.  Run down
the stairs, kill the two guards and grab the box of bullets.  Then run 
to the nearby pillar and shoot the two guards and the third nearby.  
Turn towards the medkit and kill the guard there, save the kit for 
later.  Kill the guard to the right of the medkit and run into the 
nextroom.  Kill the guards behind the boxes and run up the ramp, killing 
the two guards at the top on your left.  Walk forward a little and kill 
the guard on your right and the zombie that just appeared.  Now run down 
the hall and kill the peeking guard on the left.  Then follow the tunnel 
and shoot one of the three boxes to kill all the guards behind them.  
Quickly turn left and run towards the guard behind the box while 
shooting him.  Then turn around and shoot the other two guards while 
grabbing the medkit behind you.  Now run down the nearby ramp killing 
all enemies in your path until you reach the mummy room with the medkit.  
Here shoot the enemy by the medkit, ignore the mummies and run down the 
next ramp.  Kill the enemy down there and work your way through the 
pillars and down the next ramp.  Kill the three enemies in this room, 
one is in front of you, the other two are on your left when you enter 
the room.  Then rush down the nearby ramp, killing the two zombies that 
usually appear as you go.  Rush down the next ramp, take a right and go 
down yet another ramp.  Here go left at the first opening, and follow 
the path around, kill the on the way.  As you move towards the ankh two 
zombies will appear so be sure to get rid of them before you grab it.  
Now its the usual drill with the timesplitters, so just be quick, and 
strafe a lot and they shouldn't be too much of a problem.  Most of them 
show up at the top of the many ramps on your trip back.  Also three will 
show up at once when you reach the mummy room with the medkit.  
Following that room you will see a couple of zombies with
guns so kill them as you make for the target area.

1970 Chinese
Gun Sounds Cheat (3 Minutes 22 Seconds)
This one can be a little troublesome so be persistant.  As soon as the 
stage starts strafe left to grab the uzi, then run forward and strafe 
right.  Now shoot the enemy, and the next one that will come running 
behind him.  Shoot the guy in the distance, now step up the stairs and 
kill the guy on your right.  Also shoot the 3 guys through the window, 
then walk towards the door.  Kill the guard that pops out from behind 
the pillar and shoot the guard behind it near the medkit.  Grab the 
medkit if you need it and run out the door beside it.  Kill the guy on 
your right, then run towards him, pick up his ammo and kill the guy 
behind the statue.  Now shoot the guy behind him at the back wall of 
this open area, using the statue for cover.  Next kill the guy who's 
peeking out and shooting you ahead.  Run towards the opening on the 
other side and kill the guy just beyond it.  Now strafe left through the 
opening and kill the 4-5 grenade throwing guys in the distance.  Strafe 
past the front door to the restaurant while shooting the enemies inside.  
Then once you have killed or lured out the two that are moving, rush 
inside and kill the 2-3 behind the counter.  Now run under the balcony 
on your right, and turn left.  You should be able to shoot a guy on the 
second floor from here.  Then back up towards the gong and shoot another 
second floor guard from there.  Now rush up the stairs quickly, turn 
left, and strafe right so that you will be facing the two guards that 
come running towards you.  After killing them rush down the stairs 
behind them in the next room.  Grab the medkit from the bathroom if 
needed but make sure you get the body armor in the next room.  (It is 
guarded by a lone enemy.)  Then rush back to the gong room and take the 
other passageway into a similar looking room.  As long as you go down 
the stairs into this room fast enough you should be able to get the drop 
on two enemies that will come running from the bathroom area.  Once they 
are dispatched, enter this room and shoot the guy on your left.  If you 
need health get it from this bathroom.  Then approach the kitchen and 
shoot the 2 enemies in front of you.  Quickly run into the kitchen then 
back out the way you came.  about 4 enemies should now run in front of 
you, so make short work of them.  Now rush into the kitchen and kill the 
2 enemies on the left, and the 2-3 on the right using whatever technique 
you want.  Then enter the door on the right side of the room, killing 
the guy who is waiting in the shadows.  As you approach the stairs to 
the basement, look down slightly and kill the guy below before he 
notices you.  Then rush downstairs and hang a left.  Follow the tunnel 
into a room with about 3 enemies all behind boxes.  Shoot them or their 
boxes to get rid of them and rush to the case at the end which is 
guarded by one guy.  Now the timesplitters show up, the best strategy 
with them is to strafe a lot.  Two or three should show up on your way 
back to the stairs that lead to the kitchen.  Once in the kitchen one or 
two will show up near the center of the room.  So kill them fast, then 
bolt for the door that is on the same wall as the other one.  Open it 
(press X) and run back to the entrance of the level.

2005 Cyberden
Tuxedo Cyborg Character (5 Minutes 0 Seconds)
This one didn't give me too much trouble, the main thing is to head 
straight for switch (computer console).  Of course you will want to kill 
most of the enemies on your way, and be sure to grab the vest at the end 
of the hall before the turret.  Exit the room with the chip and turn 
right, follow the hall and go through the newly opened door.  Now drop 
down and run straight, then turn around and kill the 2 enemies that will 
now be after you.  Then destroy the turret in the corner of the room.  
Right near the turret will be another passage, kill the guard here as he 
is packing a rocket launcher.  Then proceed to the chip.  Once you have 
it, drop down into the gap below the rocket's engines.  From here, make 
your way back to the entrance via the ramp near the first turret you saw 
in this stage.

1950 Village
Hick Hyde Character (1 Minute 51 Seconds)
For this one, speed is the main thing, but a bit of accuracy helps too.  
As soon as the stage starts speed towards the docks where the medkit is 
located.  Kill some enemies on your way there as you run by them, and 
grab the medkit.  Now head right, along the rocky area.  Shoot the 
enemies with your shotgun, then switch to your tommy gun as you enter 
the first tunnel.  Head downstairs when you see the opening on your 
right and continue until you reach the artefact at the end.  As soon as 
you grab it, the wall will open up behind it.  Shoot the head off of the 
zombie in here.  Then kill the other two that appear as you head for the 
stairs.  Kill the zombie that appears when you climb the stairs, and 
shoot the zombie that's not paying attention to you upstairs.  As soon 
as you get up on that floor more zombies will come, and a timesplitter 
most of the time.  So run behind the ledge on your right, and kill them 
there.  Shoot the guy outside and exit the building.  Now turn left and 
run back to the entrance, there are a few timesplitters in this area, so 
shoot them when you can, and you should make it.

1985 Chemical Plant
Infinite Ammo Cheat (1 Minute 15 Seconds)
This one was VERY difficult, until I found the right strategy.
As soon as the stage starts switch to the pistol.  When using it you 
want to be able to fire it quite rapidly.  One trick is to have a finger 
on each R button then hit R1 and then R2 really quickly after one 
another.  However use whatever works for you.  Run straight out
and ignore the snipers while shooting the guy behind the crates.  Keep 
running then turn right to nail the sniper.  Then look left to kill the 
guy in the doorway and the sniper above him.  By now an enemy should be 
running towards you so be sure to take him out.  Also turn left and take 
out the sniper, and one of the guards behind him (up high).  Now turn 
right and fire a couple of shots at the 2 guys behind the wall while 
running towards the crates.  Grab the armor and grenade launcher and 
blast (use the explosive shots with the grenade launcher)the 3 guys that 
come running from the door back in the main street.  Pick up their 
weapons and quickly kill the 2 guards that will be lurking just inside 
the door on your left, with the grenade launcher.  Kill the enemy that 
should come running in, then walk where he died and back up fast.  Two 
more enemies should come running so get rid of them.  Now run up the 
stairs, shoot the guy at the top and go left along the catwalk.  Follow 
the U-turn in the catwalk and shoot the guy at the end, watch out for 
the grenade launcher guard just outside.  Kill him and the guard near 
him, and run into the building.  Shoot the guy that will be ahead of you 
as you enter, ignore the guy on your left.  Run past the dead guy and 
outside, strafe left a bit and run across the hole in the catwalk.  Once 
you reach the door on your left, run inside and grab the case.  Quickly 
exit through the door you came in, drop down to the ground and bolt for 
the target area.  As usual the timesplitters will show up when you grab 
the case so be ready for them.  Occasionally one of them will block the 
door you came in, so blast him fast and hopefully 
you'll survive.
(Big thanks go out to Dave for the help on this one!)

2020 Planet-X
Float Alien Character and Float Alien Bot (3 Minute 38 Seconds)
This one is not that difficult to get.  From the start strafe left and 
fall off the end of the ledge.  Now turn left and run towards the 
curving ramp.  On your way you can kill 3 aliens, one with a rocket 
launcher on your left, near the ramp.  Make your way up the ramp, and 
turn left at the top.  When you walk forward 3 aliens will appear, kill 
them and shoot the alien in the cave on your left.  Enter the cave and 
kill the 7 or so aliens inside.  Continue through the cave until you see 
the medkit, a couple of aliens will appear.  Kill them before grabbing 
the medkit.  Now go up the ramp in the middle of the room and follow the 
tunnel outside.  Kill the enemies on the way, and eventually the tunnel 
will end.  When you hit this metallic wall, go left.  Kill the enemy 
that appears as you approach the end of the tunnel and make your way 
down the ramps to the cyberbrain below.  As soon as you grab the 
cyberbrain 4 aliens will appear around you so be quick to kill them.  
Now work your way back up the ramps to the top.  And follow the tunnel 
into a few brightly coloured rooms.  The enemies here are easy to kill, 
just be quick.  Once you reach the end, you will be inside another rocky 
tunnel.  At the end an enemy should appear, work your way out of the 
short tunnel and around the cliff's ledge to the exit.  A couple of 
timeplitters will appear on the way.

1965 Mansion
Overall Mutant Character (5 Minutes 3 Seconds)
This one was not too difficult once I knew the order to do things.  As 
soon as it starts use your target to behead the two zombies.  Then do 
the same to the next two that appear.  Grab the ammo and run into the 
next room, killing the zombie that appears in front of you.  Reload and 
kill the other two that show up on your left.  Now duck down and kill 
the mutant that's firing at you from above.  Then run forward, shooting 
the mutant that pops out in front of you.  Turn right and kill the 
zombie down the stairs.  Then run down them and kill the next zombie.  
Turn left and run forward a little killing one or both (depends how 
brave you are) of the two mutants that pop out.  (There is one on each 
side of the tunnel)  Then turn left and strafe right, shooting the 
waiting mutant.  Turn right and walk forward a bit, then kill the zombie 
that appears in front of you.  Now turn left and strafe right once again 
to kill another waiting mutant.  Then turn left and walk forward, 
killing anohter zombie that appears in front of you.  Check around the 
corner a little and shoot the police zombie. (who has a gun, they all do 
in this level so take them out FAST)  Two zombie should appear nearby, 
kill them and walk towards the spot where the police zombie was 
standing.  Two more zombies will appear, so kill them and kill the 
mutant on the stairs above you.  Proceed up the stairs and shoot the 
mutant when he pops up from behind the desk.  A police zombie should run 
out from the left of the mutant, so make short work of him.  Grab the 
health from the little alcove behind the police zombie.  Two zombies 
WILL appear before you grab it so be ready.  Then proceed into the house 
a little more, shoot the mutant that pops out, then back up and hide. 
Pop out and shoot the zombie who is trying to fire at you from the dead 
mutant's position.  Turn left and strafe right a little, shoot the two 
ARMED zombies at the top of the stairs.  Take out the turret (moose 
head) in the next room, and the other one just to its right.  Now run 
into the room and kill the police zombie that appears in the corner to 
the right of the turrets.  Run into the next hallway and shoot the 
zombie that appears.  Quickly turn right, and shoot the two police 
zombies in the distance.  Run forward and kill the third on the stairs 
on your right.  Run under the stairs and grab the medkit, then follow 
the u-shaped tunnel to the other side.  Run up the stairs in front of 
you, turn left and run forward.  When approaching the corner, turn right 
and strafe left, shooting the police zombie just around the corner 
before he can hit you.  Move ahead some more, kill the zombie in the 
next room up ahead.  Then run into that room and shoot the police zombie 
in the room ahead of this one.  Run in there and kill the police zombie 
in the next room, also kill the peeking mutant who should be right 
beside him.  Strafe left a little and look to your right, kill the other 
peeking mutant.  Now back up into the previous room and go into the 
hallway, turn right and strafe left, kill the police zombie that is 
waiting for you.  Now grab the health in the next room, and kill the two 
(armed) zombies at the top of the nearby stairs.  Run up the stairs, 
turn right and walk forward, killing the police zombie that will appear 
on the right side of the wall.  Go to his corpse and turn right, strafe 
left a little and shoot the mutant lurking ahead.  Then run ahead and 
quickly hide behind the left wall.  Another mutant will come running 
with guns blazing, so strafe right and pop him.  Follow the hallway and 
as you come near the next room one zombie will appear, kill it.  Then 
walk towards the room and shoot the police zombie that appears on the 
right.  Then back up and wait for the two armed zombies to come around 
the corner, then shoot 'em.  You're almost done now, run into the room 
and to the back wall.  Turn left and run to the end of the hall.  Shoot 
the mutant that pops out here, sometimes two zombies also warp in here, 
so if they show up, show them the way out.  Then run ahead, turn left 
and run for the bones.  Two more armed zombies will appear around the 
item so shoot one, back up and hide, reload and shoot the other.  Now 
that you have the item run back to the room you just cam from.  Kill the 
two zombies that appear and turn right, shoot that zombie.  Now run a 
quarter of the way down the stairs, two armed (and VERY dangerous, most 
people die here!) zombies will appear, so shoot one and run back up the 
stairs and to the right to hide.  Then reload and take out the other 
one.  Run down the stairs and be ready to shoot the mutant on your left 
at the bottom.  As soon as you kill him, one of his friends will come 
running, so take him out.  Now keep going down the stairs until you 
reach the exit of the house.  Shoot the two timesplitters in the 
distance.  (yeah they're in this stage too remember?)  Then exit the 
house and turn left, strafe right a little and shoot the two 
timesplitters on the wooden thing above the target area.  Now run down 
the stairs and head for the target area, BUT be sure to have your back 
to it, because there is a mutant under the stairs who kills many people 
here.  So don't let him get you, shoot him as you back up into the exit.  
And that is that!

2000 Docks 
Big Hands Cheat (2 Minutes 6 Seconds)
This one isn't too bad once you know the right strategy.  As soon as the 
stage starts switch from the sniper rifle to the pistol. (left on the 
cross)  Then run out from the boxes and forward a bit, and kill the 2-3 
enemies that peek around the corner.  Then rush around the corner and 
kill the two grenade chucking enemies behind the boxes.  Pick up all 
ammo and the assault rifles.  If it hasn't switched to the assault 
rifles already you should do so.  Run out into the main part of the 
docks and kill the next two box enemies.  Grab their ammo only if you 
didn't get all of the ammo earlier.  Now run parallel to the building 
with it on your left, but hug the boxes on your right.  Now quickly run 
towards the turret while strafing right, its shots should miss you for 
the most part.  Then run under it, through the tunnel and turn right on 
the other side.  Kill the enemy in the distance, to the right a little, 
past the building.  Then turn right and kill the enemy on the top of the 
stairs.  Run up the stairs, into the building, up another set of stairs 
and into the alcove in the wall.  Take a moment, then turn around and 
kill the 2-3 enemies that should now be climbing the stairs you just 
used, to get to you.  Now turn around and enter the next room.  Rush 
down the stairs and into the alcove on your right.  From here you should 
kill the 4-5 enemies in the room as fast and safe as you can.  Then rush 
up the stairs at the end of the room with guns blazing.  You should kill 
a couple of peeking guards, then 2-3 enemies will come running around 
the corner.  You can either kill them in the open or duck into the 
alcove on your left and lure them there.  After that rush farther on and 
kill the enemy behind the box at the end of the hall.  Then kill the 3 
enemies behind the glass and grab the much needed body armour.  Then zip 
around into the next chamber for the briefcase.  The timesplitters will 
of course start showing up now but you should be ok.  Kill the one that 
appears near you and run down the hall, killing the next one that 
appears in front of you.  Then run down the stairs back into the open 
room, 3 timesplitters will appear.  Ignore them and drop to the floor, 
then run forward and go through the door on your right.  Kill the 
timesplitter that appears near the metal boxes and take a hard left past 
the turret again.  Turn right after it and go straight, past the stairs, 
strafe left a little and keep going straight.  Once you are at the very 
end you will see a few soldiers, shoot those in your way while making a 
right around the metal boxes.  Now run straight towards the second 
turret, kill the guard to the right of it and run towards the wall.  Now 
just run around the corner, past the turret and into the target area.  

2035 Spaceways
Female Alien Character and Female Alien Bot (1 Minute 3 Seconds)
This one took me a few times, mainly to figure out how to shave off 15 
seconds.  The main thing is speed, so as soon as you start, run forward 
and shoot the 2 enemies.  Then strafe right a bit to dodge the cab while 
entering the building.  Two enemies will appear at the end of the hall, 
shoot the one on the right while strafing around the right corner.  Here 
shoot another enemy and run up the ramp in front of you while nailing an 
enemy on your right.  There will be an enemy at the top of the ramp most 
of the time so kill him and rush through the main hall. (Though there is 
a medkit in the lobby in the beginning of the stage, if you grab it you 
probably won't make the target time.  So if your health is in the red by 
this point restart the stage)  As you approach the door fire an 
explosive shot at both sides of the door.  This will kill the enemies on 
the other side.  Then when the door opens you can kill the two enemies 
at the end of the room.  Keep trudging through the hallways, past the 
double turret room (don't worry about destroying the turrets), and into 
the room with the two enemies that are behind boxes.  Take a left and 
when the door opens, rain explosive shots at the door at the other end 
of the room while running.  The may take out the turrets and will 
certainly make short work of the enemies that usually show up here.  Run 
out the door and up the left ramp.  Shoot the 2 stewardesses at the top 
and do a U-turn up the ramp beside you.  Kill the 3-5 aliens that may 
show up in this room as you grab the duty-free goods.  Then run back 
down the ramp and up the ramp in front of it.  Kill another stewardess, 
and maybe a couple of timesplitters. (Sometimes they're there, sometimes 
not)  And run like hell into your ship, if done right the rocket 
launcher should miss you with both shots.



I have decided not to allow websites other than gamefaqs 
(www.gamefaqs.com) to host my FAQs from now on.  Please don't ask, 
because I will not grant permission.  It's just that too many sites 
don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of 
hassle in my mailbox.  So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than 
gamefaqs, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, 
thanks.
