Features:
  • Morphing - An advanced real-time morphing system lets Nevin's PolySuit change between Melee, Gun and Stealth modes on the fly during combat. Each mode has special abilities:
  • Melee Mode - This is the default mode, used for rapid movement and to cut down foes with vicious sword combos.
  • Gun Mode - Transforms Nevin into a walking tank. Used to annihilate enemies with cannons and grenade launchers.
  • Stealth Mode - Allows Nevin to become invisible, climb special "stealth paths", and assassinate solitary foes.
  • Time Dilation - Nevin's extraordinary ability to alter time lets him freeze the action. Gameplay transitions to a special Time Dilation display that Nevin uses to cue up "chains" of icons representing special moves and attacks. When time snaps back, he unleashes these moves and lays waste to anything in his path.

4 out of 5 stars The end fight was Awesome!   October 10, 2007
I bought this because of it's different game design. Over all it's a typical linear-action/adventure game but it has some jewels. It's challenging an only 'easy' if you use the health cheat code. Ounce you master the Time-Dilation mini-game its fun and needed if you want to beat the finial boss.

The end of the game is intensely-awesome because so much of the game-play changes. You end the game with a 3 part boss fight thats hard, But when you beat Paavos you get to "Finish Him" with what looks like a 2 minute Ultimate Technique!!!! (Ninja Gaiden Black)

3 out of 5 stars Freeze and Slash   January 31, 2004
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Alter Echo, is a hack and slash game. You control your character in the third-person view. Your character can transform into different creatures. There is the human form; where you fight with your sword and slash at enemies. There is the gun form; where you turn into a robot-like creature with a gun that shoots lasers and launches grenades. And there is a stealth form; it's like a lizard and you have the ability to crawl on certain surfaces and you can also turn invisable in stealth form.
There is a long tutorial that teaches you how to use each form. A cool power in this game is that you can freeze time, when you have enough energy orbs. While time is frozen, your enemies are unable to move, but you will be able to execute deadly combo attacks with whatever forms you have.

Pros:
+freeze time
+cool looking combo attacks
+good music
+good sound effects
+nice graphics
+three transformation modes

Cons:
-cheap shots from enemies
-gets difficult fast
-becomes repetative
-linear gameplay

overall an average game. Freezing time and doing
combo attacks are fun, but very difficult to pull off.
I was also very annoyed by the cheap shots from the
cpu enemies.

I first saw this game about a month ago, not really knowing that much about it. I looked around & saw some very good reviews, & so I got it.

I must say that this is one of the most original games I've played in a good long while. The screen distortion effects, time dialation concept (not too unlike "Bullet Time" effects) & just the whole game in general was well thought out, & even more brilliantly executed.

I hightly reccommend this game.
