If this is the same game I played a demo for, which I think it is, a six is unnecessarily heaping praise on it.

Wasn't a huge fan of the demo - and with so many good games out I'm fine not getting this one anyway.

Demo was shite and the game got a 5/10 from gamesTM as well so definitely not interested in buying this game anymore than I was Jericho. With so many other better games imminent across three platforms, including Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, Ace Combat 6, Mass Effect and Ratchet and Clank Future, there's no space in my collection for average games like this anyway.

No, Halo is a branded shooting game :) Edit: stupid HTML tags

"So there's really nothing wrong with this game.. it just deserves a six?"
That's what you get if you're a new IP. Only games with big marketing budgets can get away with doing nothing revolutionary. Review scores are useless as they are the opinion of a single, prejudiced person. Sites like metacritics will create some objectivity by cancelling out the subjectivity but this doesn't work well with the big budget games because with those you often see reviewer groupthink. Just read the text and form your own opinion. |

Darren, the tearing with it on is minimal, and you have to go out of your way to make it happen.
Like I said over on OXM, you of all people should appreciate the option being there from the beginning, as opposed to via a patch some 6 months later. You're not getting the game anyway, so why cry about it? |

Some v-sync tearing is down to people's TVs.
Alternatively, Xbox 360 also has a variable vsync setting that means it won't bother stopping the tearing if the game is running too slowly and needs to catch up with itself. But from the sound of things vsync is the least of this game's problems when being compared against this year's FPS heavyweights. |

Gamer tv (on Bravo) said as much last week end. Can we please have some more THIRD person games. Fed up aiming a gun at the screen. Playing Halo 3 at the moment so no need for any more. For what's it's worth I think Gears is a lot better than Halo 3, their I said it.
Gears is baws...there, I've said it. Booted it up yesterday after having not played it in ages and it was off within about 10 minutes. Most overrated piece of crap I've ever played. As for TS...had a feeling it'd only get an average score. |

I'll probably pick this up on the cheap next year when I run out of games to play :)

I've just found something that REALLY irritated me on the demo. There's a guy who is just about to shoot a prisoner in the back of the head and you absolutely cannot kill him UNTIL he executes the prisoner. I was standing there shooting him in the head (visibly causing him damage!) but he was absolutely immune until he had shot the guy.
Why the hell put in a scripted moment like that in a game with the ability to manipulate time and not let you do anything? |

+1 @ Symbiote (all posts)
I love FPS so I always add 2-3 points onto scores given. I've got it and I'm really enjoying it, should keep me busy for one more week until COD4 owns my soul (COD4 kicks the shit out of Halo3 online IMO) |

That's what you get if you're a new IP. TimeShift being a new IP has nothing to do with it getting 6/10 from EG. Review scores are far from useless, they tell you how much fun the reviewer had with the game. In this case, Tom had a lot less fun than he did playing a dozen similar, better FPS games. |

Once again, EG gets a PC and 360 release to review and chooses to review the 360 version. Good thing the demo finished off any remaining optimism I had for it - very very samey, fiddly and me-too in feel, and the time powers and weapons sucked.

Apologie, it's coming out for the PS3 too y'know?.... Just in a few weeks or so, as is the norm nowadays.
I haven't played the full game yet, but I actually really liked the demo, mainly for the slow-mo bloody explosions, I'll get it when it drops by a tenner or so. |

@Apologie
"Well... just anothet ordinary shooter for the X360" As opposed to the huge selection of worthwhile games on the PS3, regardless of genre, I take it? I mean, I could equally say "Well....just another ordinary shooter for the PS3" except it would need to have more than a couple in the first fucking place. Tit. |

Whoever reviewed this did not play it or was paid to dis it. Timeshift is a very good game. Dont listen to him up there.

Agreed with Madder Max!
I was sceptical but though it is slightly generic there is enough GOOD and enticing stuff tro keep you going, especially once you get the EMF CANNON! I am in love with that gun.......... And kudos to the ragdolls AND chunks......... i been missing seeign the true effect of an awesome explosion! the time controls make it fun too........ all in all I think its a good fun romp with guns find yaself at a lost for a game, give it a try - u may like! |
