  • Summary: TimeShift challenges players to use their minds along with their weapons to battle enemies and solve complex gameplay puzzles. TimeShift changes the fundamental way gamers think about first-person shooters by using the fourth dimension: time itself. TimeShift empowers players with the gift of time manipulation, including the ability to slow down, stop and rewind the world around them, allowing them to move freely while opponents and game objects are frozen in time. TimeShift feature mores than 30 combat missions, each showcasing time control elements and challenges that players must solve using both their extraordinary capabilities and combat expertise. An array of devastating and unique weaponry from the world's alternate timeline is at the player's disposal, including bizarre incarnations of traditional sniper guns, machine guns, pistols and more, as well as never-before-imagined armaments from an era humanity has never seen.… Expand

    The time-stopping fun is handled really well, too. It's especially fun to see individual raindrops freeze as you slow time down and run about disarming a whole group of enemies. In general, the game is as interesting to look at as it is to play.

    Brilliant use of time powers which means it fulfills it primary purpose, misses out on reaching its full potential though as the puzzles and game are made far too easy.

    A solid shooter in many ways and has the seeds of success sown into it, there are simply too many undercooked elements peppered throughout the experience for it to ably thrust forward from the shadow of much bigger and much better FPS entrants that have graced 2007 with genuine 'Game of the Year' wow factor.

    Honestly, I am guessing the bad reviewers here only played the game for a couple of hours tops. This game starts slow and gets REALLY, REALLY GOOD. By the end I was loving it. Once you get the hang of the time pause (which you get quickly) and figure out what your favorite weapons are, this game flies. Giving it a 50 is absurd. Who knows, maybe the reviewers feel like they really "know games" or something. This was fun. The outdoor levels were beautiful. 70 overall is very misleading. My top ten rankings for the 360 are: 1. Bioshock 2. Gears of War 3. Halo 3 - 4 Lost Planet 5. Timeshift 6. Call of Duty 4 7. F.E.A.R. 8. Crackdown 9. Fight Night Round 2 10. Oblivion… Expand

    This game probably could have been really good, there are few things in gaming than stopping time and blowing someones head off at point blank range, but beyond these minor enjoyments Timeshift is really average. The graphics look aweful, decent character models but the rest of the game looks like original xbox. The enemies are repetetive, the weapons are nothing we haven't seen before. Do yourself a favor and rent this first you'll probably be bored with it about halfway through the game.… Expand

    Waited four years and two platforms to play this, and I am very upset out it turned out. Three years ago, it would have been excellent, now its very out of date and very out of touch with todays shooters. But its still always fun to crank that time button and blast foes to an early grave. But thats wears thin when all else is rubbish! Barely a rental game.… Expand
