Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: It’s never obvious what to make of delays in video games. Sometimes it’s simply an indication of a problem production that ends up looking out of date before it’s even released. Other times though it’s simply evidence of ruthless perfection: thankfully TimeShift seems to be the latter. At first glance it seems like any other first person shoot ‘em-up, with some technically impressive but artistically ordinary visuals. What makes it unique though is the gameplay, with the best use of time travel in a game since Prince of Persia. The story of the game involves the unlikely named Aiden Krone go back in time and changing history to suit him – kind of like a more evil version of Back to the Future, Part II. However, the time travelling doesn’t end there as the special suit you’re strapped into to chase after him also allows you to stop, rewind or slow down time whenever you want. Since Krone has got his own version of the same kind of time suit many of the enemies can’t even be properly seen under normal conditions because they’re moving too fast, but there are more subtle uses for the rewind and stop powers. Slipping past guards or running through a burning building becomes child’s play, while stopping time, running up to an enemy to grab his gun and then nipping back to cover to shoot him with it is just one of the game’s unique pleasures. Even if Doctor Who wouldn’t approve. Harrison Dent Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Very FunBefore I got this game i thought it would be really easy and i didnt think it would be very good. i saw he game had a demo so i downloaded that and i thought that was very fun. the controls are quite hard but you will get used to them. the multiplayer isnt very good but its a break from the single player Rating: - completely surprised meI'm normally quite good at spotting a good game, or at least one that i'd enjoy and at first completely wrote this off my list. im so glad i bought it now, the gameplay is amazingly fun and addictive, slowing down time and sprinting around everywhere causeing mayhem is exactly what it looks like on the trailer, but the clincher has to be pausing time and stealing an enemies gun, pure genius!!!!! now to go into the game in more depth, the storyline is well....errrr its ok, but its nothing to write home about, graphically its great but isnt the best on this console, but saying that, it has some of the best destructability i've seen in a long time. It isnt too easy but not mind blowingly hard, there are some slightly repetitive bits ... Read More: Rating: - The story is rubbish...but lets face it who cares?OK, I'm telling you now, the story is crap. You are trying to get this guy, who has another one of these time suit things and while you do it you have to go into various places and shoot lots of bad guys. However...there are some things which make this game very very good! Firstly, the whole concept of stopping, slowing and reversing time is amazing and (in a sick kinda way) fun. Also, this game is rated 18, and this makes it so much better, because they put tonnes of gore into it - like when you put a grenade on someone, they're limbs, head and rest of their body blow up and scatter around the place. The creaters have thought very carefully about use of time as well. You can stop time, and walk on water and not fall ... Read More: Rating:  - Good game, shame about the endingWell, i am more of a casual gamer, but i have GOW and Halo 3 to compare this to. As previously stated in another review, this would have worked far better seen in the third person perspective, whats the point of having an ultra cool suit, but never being able to see it to appreciate it?? That said, i found it to be a pretty good game, with the time altering aspects rescuing it form mediocrity, i mean, freezing time, shooting three of four guards in the head unfreezing it and just watch them drop to the floor NEVER gets old! However, having completed it, i was left totally dumbfounded at the ending. Throughout the game there were some rather tricky bits to negotiate, that required a bit of thought, but the ending!!! All the way through ... Read More: Rating: - One unique gameplay aspect wrapped around a derivative FPSIf you've played through "The Orange Box" and "Halo 3" and are looking for more original FPS fodder, look away now. Almost all of the solo campaign play is reminiscent of HalfLife2 with dabs of the Halo trilogy added to mix it up a little. It's as if a committee of businessmen asked "what's gone down well lately then?" and set about steeling other developers ideas. And given how long this game has been in production, that probably did happen at some stage. So why am I still playing it then? Because, even though this game is a loveless void of facsimile with fairly dated game-play, YOU CAN BEND SPACE-TIME. After a while, you realize that the only weapon you would really need is a big spanner, because once you've paused time, ... Read More: |
