A cool tack on FPS's that is executed really well.
But most critics beat Time Shift to the ground in their reviews. Problems were that the game had a terrible story. Now let me start out by saying that the story does suck, but the over all game play rocks. Time Shift may not be the best shooter around, but it is one great game.
You play a scientist, I think, like I said, the story was not so great. Any how, another doctor named Dr. Aiden Krone who has stolen a time alpha suit, and blows up a lab, and makes a time jump. You jump in an beta suit and follow him. From there you fight a bunch of soldiers, and use your time powers to get closer to killing Krone.
The game play in Time Shift rocks. You basically run and shoot, only this time, you have a time suit. The time suit allows you to stop, slow down, or rewind time. These can be used to kill your enemies, or solve a few puzzles in the game. The problem with this is that most of the time, you will play it like another shooter, and then the game turns into a plain old shooter, because, your time powers have to recharge.
But, you have a big arsenal of guns. The guns includes assault rifles, shotguns, electric cannons, etc, and all the weapons feel really powerful.
The graphics in Time Shift look really good. Character models look good, but environments look awesome. Certain parts of walls can be blown up. There is a lot of detail in the world, and if you slow down time, you can see each individual rain drop hit the ground of another person or your gun, and splash.
The sound in Time Shift is good to. The voice acting is not the best, and certain sound effects sound funny, but when things blow up it sounds good. Guns sound pretty good.
Time Shift's single player takes about 8 to 10 hours, but there is a great muti player after that. There is basically all the modes you would find in a normal first person shooter, deathmatch, team deathmatch, etc. But in the multi player, you have time grenades, which you can throw, and they will make a bubble that will have the effect. The multi player is also really fast pace. The multi player is not deep, but it is fun, and will keep you entertained for a while.
Time Shift has a good single player and a great multi player. The single player does not have a lot of replay, but the multi player is a lot of fun. Not to mention the col time shifting abilities in this game. If you want a good shooter, that is a little bit different than other shooters, the you will want to give Time Shift a try. Not to mention, you can get this game for only a few bucks.
