User Comments about the Timeshift

everything, the game , the cost fo the game and delivery time were simply excellent, thnks.



Good times for all.I suggest playing on the hardest difficulty for more achievements and some epic battles. A fun strategy is finding a hiding spot, slowing time, then attacking and retreating, then resuming time. This game steals off a bunch of other games, but I got over it and enjoyed the ride. Don't worry, there's also original parts.


The soldiers make comments like "WTF was that.".The final battle is very satisfying, as well. I'd say there was 16 hours of good game play on hard. Substitute the Hoff for soldiers and Sandler's fist with ultra violent weapons and explosives. One of the few games I've played with moments that had me smiling ear to ear.Remember that scene on "Click" where Adam Sandler pauses time and punches David Hasselhoff repeatedly.


Watching someones head pop off like a champagne cork in ultra slow motion, never got old for me. No one is ever on Xbox live with this game, so multi-player is nonexistent.


You have the option to slow down, pause, stop, and rewind time. There are just soo many other great shooters out there, such as the Orange Box and Call of Duty 4 and what not, that TimeShift isn't worth the time. You can slow down time so you can avoid bullets and kill a big group of enemies a lot easier. The story does not keep you interested enough to get really into it, which would have made the game not as boring. The best is when you pause time and run up to a guy and take his gun, then play time normal and he is wondering what is going on.But besides the time feature, it is a pretty lack-luster game.The graphics are decent but nowhere near what they could have been, but this is not the major short coming of the game. I bought TimeShift despite some rather negative reviews that I had read.


Playing around with time to screw with your enemies is very fun. A couple good things about the game are: like i said before the time altering abilities (but even those get old), and the weapons are pretty cool.


Starting out, I must be honest, the game is pretty cool. The levels are very long, which in a great game is nice, but when the game gets boring, long levels just add to the frustration.


As far as the multiplayer, i would not know because i have not played it, but i can't imagine many people still play this game so you may not have a smooth multiplayer experience. The major thing wrong with this game is the storyline, and the boredom factor.


You can stop time in places where you have to cross a pool of water but there is electricity flowing through it. All of these have their role throughout the game.


These are some examples of the places where the time abilities are pretty neat. All in all the game would be worth about $15 which is what I paid for it, but anything over that I would not purchase it.



When it comes to fps games there isn't much that we haven't seen. The story mode on this game is actually fun and challenging. The ability to control time is seemingly all thats really left. Sierra (whom I've never heard of) did a very good job developing a 4D game, and I'm very excited to see what they can do with their sophomore effort. (I wish the main character could jump a little like master chief tho). I have to wonder what game people are comparing this to (most likely COD4), but when comparing it to the Halo series it blows them out of the water. The destructable environments look great, the gameplay is very difficult, and at times you will be stuck and can't figure out where to go or what to do, and all of these things combined make TimeShift a fun and welcome challenge. So if people can drop $20 and buy this game new like I did I think that the next TimeShift will be one of the best FPS games ever.



MY SON CAN'T QUITE PLAYING IT.AND NOW I CAN'T QUITE PLAYING ITVERY-VERY GOOOOOD GAME.
