詳細描述
In TimeShift, you assume the role of renowned test pilot Colonel Michael Swift who recently lost his only daughter in a bus accident. Depressed and desperate for an escape from his misery, Swift decides to accept a recent offer from the U.S. Government.
Armed with a time-control device called the "Quantum Suit" and a time machine called the "Chronomicon," Swift sets out to test the most significant inventions of the century. He is briefly sent back in time to 1911 to plant an experimental probe. Upon his return to the present, a shift has occurred. The world he left has changed beyond all recognition. And his knowledge of this timeshift has made him an enemy of the state. Swift is now both on the run and on a mission to set time straight once again.
Not revolutionary, but cool anyway If you are not expecting Halo/Call of Duty quality, this game will entertain you. The graphics and sound are good, and the gameplay is satisfying. Time control is cool, although not as complex and puzzle solving as it could be. For that price, it's a nice deal.
Great for $25... This is a very innovative FPS, which is rare in this age of gaming. The graphics are pretty good, and the story is entertaining (even if it is a bit...over the top). The controls and gameplay are mostly standard FPS fare, however the time mechanic can have you thinking of many different ways to eliminate your enemies (or completely sidetrack them altogether if you do it right!)
Basically, if you like first person shooters, this isn't a bad deal. Multiplayer is pretty fun too!
Not the game of the year but you can still have good time, just not too much time :)

Game is good "TimeShift" is a game that had everything to go wrong, but managed to surprise. It is technically well done and provides fun fighting, especially in multiplayer mode. Unfortunately not press for its originality and sometimes fails to explore the potential of puzzles and powers, which takes away precious points before competitors original.
