Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Review: It’s never obvious what to make of delays in video games. Sometimes it’s simply an indication of a problem production that ends up looking out of date before it’s even released. Other times though it’s simply evidence of ruthless perfection: thankfully TimeShift seems to be the latter. At first glance it seems like any other first person shoot ‘em-up, with some technically impressive but artistically ordinary visuals. What makes it unique though is the gameplay, with the best use of time travel in a game since Prince of Persia.
The story of the game involves the unlikely named Aiden Krone go back in time and changing history to suit him – kind of like a more evil version of Back to the Future, Part II. However, the time travelling doesn’t end there as the special suit you’re strapped into to chase after him also allows you to stop, rewind or slow down time whenever you want. Since Krone has got his own version of the same kind of time suit many of the enemies can’t even be properly seen under normal conditions because they’re moving too fast, but there are more subtle uses for the rewind and stop powers. Slipping past guards or running through a burning building becomes child’s play, while stopping time, running up to an enemy to grab his gun and then nipping back to cover to shoot him with it is just one of the game’s unique pleasures. Even if Doctor Who wouldn’t approve.

I bought this game about 6 months ago, with the feeling that I was settling for second best. I hadn't read a single review, and after reading the description of it on Amazon, it sounded like a game based on a gimmick. But at the time I was a bit starved for FPS games, so I thought, what the hell? I kid you not, this game deserves to be bought. I won't go into the plot (see above), so the games physics will have to suffice. The suit you wear has 3 modes. The first has been done to death, matrix ...

I bought this game new from one of Amazons suppliers for £4.16! Yes, insane and it turns out to be one of the all time best FPS I've ever played. It's better than HL2 and far better than Crysis, and looks just as good even though it is DirectX 9.0c. It runs on Vista 32 bit perfectly and does not have any nasty DRM or protection drivers (like Starforce). It looks amazing and is a fantastic shooter with really great weapons. Also despite having an auto-save feature, you can can save at any time, so avoids ...

Well I'm quite pleased with this game, so I thought I'd just add a couple of comments to the reviews. I like it, and having just suffered the cut-scenes in Assassin's Creed, (mad scientist and assistant) our Timeshift cut scenes are quite short, and the assistant is really quite attractive.
My only niggles: (listen up Sierra) the quad bikes are really difficult to control, and consequently only useful for jumping gaps, I'd rather walk, can't I use the mouse to steer?
There seems to be only one ...

Since I saw the trailer for Timeshift I was intrigued by this fresh new idea - controlling time in a first-person shooter.
Sure, games have done the whole controlling time thing before, but Timeshift takes it to a whole new level.
The storyline that you follow is actually pretty good, travelling to an alternate 1930s USA where a scientist working on time travel has set himself up as the leader of a totalitarian government. You help the resistance fighting to bring him down. However, the ...
