   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have always been a huge fan of time travel in sci-fi, and when I heard about this game I had to get it. I spent days playing this game while eating cookie dough ice cream, and I have to say it was well worth it. For starters the graphics are outstanding, when I play the game I feel like I am inside a messed up world, and the graphics alone will drag you in. The time travel mechanics work well here, and the game forces you to think about fighting in two different time lines, and it's a very enjoyable feature, and it keeps the game from becoming boring. For example you could be walking though an abandoned warehouse, when suddenly your transported to the 1950's warehouse full of enemy soliders. I also like the idea of what happens in the past effects the future, so when you are teleported to the 50's you can destroy something and then you can go back to the future and you'll find it open. You can also use time travel mechanics to repair things such as stairs and doors. The game also gives you a choice, and the ending is epic. It shocked me that the player character was responsible for the entire singularity event. Overall the game is amazing, if you liked bioshock and timespltters this game is a must.… Expand

   Singularity is an opportunity missed. It was so close to being at least a 9 rated game but a few things really destroyed this game for me. At first the game opens up and appears to be fantastic. It is quite obvious this game was heavily inspired by Bioshock, Wolfenstein and maybe even Dead Space. The problem is it relied too heavily on those games and didn't duplicate the best parts of those games very well. The result is a game with a lot of problems, not so much glitches or anything but the game falls more flat than it should given the great atmosphere and ideas it had. It is a fun game make no mistake but it is very hard for me to give it a rating higher than 7 because it lacks the depth of the games it tries to copies. What really sinks this game though is online. The creatures and modes are probably the most ingenious part of this title yet the matchmaking is probably the most brutal of any game I have ever playing in my entire life. Not only was it always (no exaggeration) a struggle to successfully get into a room, it was near impossible to actually finish a match to help you get some kills that counted toward acheiving some trophies. Overall a really fun game that really had some major problems tying up loose ends. Quite a shame because a lot of potential is obvious when you first play it. Worth a single play and sell quick. I do want to stress that the single player campaign is excellent and I wanted to score this game higher than a 6 but with offline being essentially completely broken I had to score this game a 6 so it would appear as a cautionary rating.… Expand

   Felt like have played it all before only better, even the sub par Wolfenstien I would rate higher than this. A mix of Bioshock, Wolfenstien & Resistance with the gravity gun from Half Life 2. If only they had used the time travel idea a little more and developed some of the puzzles it could have been great but I guess that wouldn't have been COD enough to pass through Activision certification. As it is Singularity is just another shlock FPS that should be left to languish in the bargain bins.… Expand
