 Entertaining but a little not up to HD December 24, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Well... Let me tell ya that I'm NEWBIE reviewing stuff on the net... so, bare with me.
What I've got to say about this game is that it is actually very entertaining and all that...
it's kind of cool when you can actually stop time and see the rain falling all over you, or steal guns froms your enemis and then execute them... so good
but actually the game comes short on the graphics, yup! you actually can do a lot of stuff in the game but the
graphics can be a LOT better...
Bottom line, this is really not a MUST havegame, It's a nice to have game.... and you get FPS with time powers (Nice).
Time Shift Review - It's Okay December 21, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Time shift is the standard post-apocolyptic first person shooter with the standard array of weapons and tactics. On the positive side, the AI is intelligent, shifty, and reacts to any part of their body that you shoot. The environment is very similar to the feeling of Requiem or Red Faction II in that you're always fighting through tunnels and open streets. The weaponry is decent, but nothing new under the sun. The ability to time shift itself is great, however, the effects don't last as long as they should. On the downside, the campaign mode is LOOOOONG. I never thought the game would end. I'm all about a good first person shooter, but after a while, it's just continually running and gunning.
 Good, but could have been better December 18, 2007

After playing the demo for this game, I was pretty excited about getting it. However, after playing the actual game, I was a little disappointed. It's still a good game, but it could have been better. It definitely has some interesting game play to it.
 Instead of spending 60 bucks on this game, do yourself a favor and throw a fork into your eye. December 18, 2007

The game just isn't fun. Your enemies are absurdly aggressive, accurate and lethal on even the most basic setting. You have no idea of when you're supposed to use your time manipulation until AFTER something happens.
Say, for instance, you're trying to run down a hallway. Cool-WOOPS! The whole thing gets blown to smithereens and you're dead. No warning. Nothing. I don't want a hand-held walkthrough like I'm an idiot, but some sort of clue as to when you're supposed to use your powers would be nicer than running around and randomly being blown into oblivion.
The conrols are sloppy, you have to be in EXACTLY the right spot holding down X forever to steal a guy's weapon in "freeze" mode, or you'll just end up running against the guy and doing nothing. Cover is pointless, because the enemy always has better cover(which I know is a norm in gaming and I'm fine with that), but your cover either sucks or is nonexistant.
The graphics are great, but I think you'll probably have more fun getting mugged and beaten than playing this game.
Timeshift is both boring and repetitive. December 14, 2007

After playing the demo for this game a few months ago I was pretty excited about the game. You play a scientist that time travels to kill another time traveler. You have the ability to stop time, slow time and reverse time. It should have ended there. Timeshift is one of the worst games I've played on the 360. The single player is extremely short, I played on the medium skill level and beat it in under 5 hours. There is almost no story to the game, just a few very short clips from a flashback and usually some guy telling you to push a button. The game gets boring once you get over the fact that you can travel in time which is after the first level. I dont know why but the makers of the game thought it would be a great idea to have a guy yelling in your ear every minute. Hearing, "what are you doing? push the button" is so annoying i wanted to break this game. And I am not exaggerating about the repetitiveness of the messages. The multiplayer is also boring, there is the chance of using a timeshift but comes in a small bubble that you use like it is a grenade; this bubble is to be used on your enemies, not for yourself. You would think they could come up with something more creative than this. One cool thing about the game is the chance to unlock some extra features like sketches, but that is it. Overall the game is awful. The developers lacked creativity and made a game that is as linear as you can possibly get. The concept is cool, but the implementation is lacking. It was a struggle just to finish the game. Multiplayer is weak and hard to find a good match. Do yourself a favor, and don't even bother with renting this game.
