Perhaps one of the most (if not the most) famous maps from the series, Chinese features a good balance of indoor areas and outdoor action. It is set at a Chinese restaurant and includes the gardens round about it. The main action points of the map are in the kitchen and around the garden. Chinese also features an Easter Egg: in the reception room there is a gong which can be punched or fired upon to make it sound.

Appearence

Chinese appears in all three games however in each it changes it's appearence. In TS1 the colour of the curtains on the walls and the lamps are red, there is a chair in the basement but no tunnel.

In TimeSplitters 2, the colour scheme is green (posing that there is a new year) and one of the cupboards in the basement has moved.

In TSFP, there is a tunnel connection the basement to outside as well as the chair being gone.

All versions have the same layout (bar the tunnel from TSFP). The main lobby is a moderatly open room with a gong at the end. Upstairs progresses to two dining rooms with chinese decor. Each dining room has a door that leads to some toilets. One of the dining room's door also leads the the kitchen; the other dining room leads to an auxiliary room (it's purpose is unknown). The kitchen leads to the basement as well as each side of the outdoor passageway.

The outside section consists of a perimeter passeway, an oriental garden and a small open building next to it.

Story

Chinese's role in TS1's Story features Harry Tipper's debut. Set in 1970, Tipper is a Detective set to retrieve an important suitcase (presumably containing evidence). The restaurant itself is called Orientals, and is the headquarters of Mr. Big's chinese gang. It is unknown whether the whole staff of Orientals are in the gang, or whether they have some kind of allegiance towards them, since they fire at Harry Tipper.
