Timeshift Review

Gameplay: It's more than just any ordinary first person shooter; you have the ability to pause, rewind, speed up or slow down time! The weapons feel powerful and are fun to weild.
It's very fun, quite an original idea, is executed well but can get a little repetitive from time to time. 8/10

Graphics: Most textures look gorgeous up close, the objects are marvelously rendered, the only downside with graphics is that some outdoor environments look a little shabby (particularly trees). But on the bright side: character models look great and the blood & gore looks wicked! 8/10

Multiplayer: It's fun, there are several different game modes and quite a few maps. The time shifting abilities still make an appearance but they are as orbs (you throw the grenade shaped thing towards an opponent and they will suddenly be affected time-wise by the orb- for example if you threw a time stopping orb then they would be stuck in a giant bubble unable to move. You can pump bullets into it and the moment the power of the orb runs out, time starts again and the bullets come rushing towards the enemy. It's amazingly enjoyable but the downside is that there aren't that many players online. 7/10

Sound: Good gun effects, pretty decent ambience sounds and music is quite well fitting but there's nothing special. 7/10

Replayability: Unfortunately the fact that the game is short and there are few players online means that there's not much reason to come back to this game after you've completed it. 6/10

OVERALL: The game is definately a solid, enjoyable title for any fps fan but it lacks in a few areas which make it seem to fit best as a rent-it game. Some of the developing team's ideas definately were executed well and were made good use of and so it's definately worth checking out.
7.6/10 (NOT AN AVERAGE)

CAn you explain what the games story is about, is it an rpg or just a shooter?

I just rented this game today and i LOVE it.Its so much fun.Why did gamespot give it a 6.5?I love how it really makes it feel your in the middle of a war.Its very good at giving the "warzone effect".The visuals are pretty good also.The only thing i dont like so far is the story.The story is confusing to me so far.So far i LOVE this game.

Yeahh!! See what I mean. lol I love it. I really like the gore, the gun sound effects, the overall atmosphere and of course the visual effects and the texture detail! :O

lol yeah I'm not really following the story, I just play it online mainly (well, my cd's scratched coz I got it pre-owned already scratched so when I get to a certain point in the game it just freezes on me and I can't install it to the harddrive).
I love it though anyway. I may sell my current copy and re-buy it just to complete it.
