This game is NOT that bad, the storyline is garbage, the online community is tiny, but overall, this game is FUN, yes I said it, its FUN! What game can you freakin slow stop or rewind time, it brings a unique and diverse gameplay to the table, an experience you cant find anywhere else..
I agree, its not the best game, there are alot of better games out there "BF:BC H3, COD4, BIOSHOCK, etc" But this game is still a good game, it really is, i would pick this game over quake wars, maybe not unreal tournament but still, try this game out online, get a group together that play online and ull love it, its one of my favorite fps's to be honest and im a huge gamer.
I totally agree. I picked the game up several months ago, but put it on the back burner. Recently picked it up again and been having a really fun time with it. Originally started the game on easy difficulty, but after getting a few stages in, decided to restart the game on the hardest difficulty (and I recommend this to everyone -- easy is just *too* easy).
My personal favorite thing to do is to stop time, blow 3 or 4 guys away with my shotgun, then unpause and watch all of them fly at the same time. Looks like a synchronized olympic event. ^_^

Also, I enjoyed the ending for some strange reason. The controls for the game could've been better though, I find myself throwing grenades randomly at the cover I'm hiding behind getting myself killed. Happy days indeed.
I just beat the game on Elite yesterday and I totally agree -- there are A LOT harder games out there. The ability to control times gives you such a large advantage... plus, the layout of just about every level is the same. Small rooms contain a few enemies, usually sitting in chairs or hiding behind boxes -- slow down time just as you enter the room and you can clear it out. Large rooms or areas usually contain enemies on catwalks and/or platforms -- on Elite, they have very precise aim, so just duck and cover behind a box, slow time, and snipe. Plus, you can save your game anywhere at anytime... so if you see your map fill with red dots, go ahead and save.
The game is a bit rinse, wash, repeat... but heck, every FPS is. Regardless, I enjoyed TimeShift.
It is a good game. The timeshifting abilities and the crossbow make the game really easy even on the hardest difficulty setting. For me, it stands out as a "memorable" game.
I sold my copy, only because there's entirely too many games out and too many games coming out to justify playing this. The online community has always been small for this game, because most people don't hold onto their copy long enough for the population to get big. Most people probably rent this game, and people who purchased it probably trade or sell it.
Hopefully there will be a sequel!
That's been my only major gripe with the game, that it feels like a Half-Life 2 ripoff. The old guy on the monitors in the beginning city levels spewing his propaganda was exactly like Half-Life 2, only more boring. A lot of the level design is similar as well. Not that HL2 is a bad game to want to emulate, but in some places, they took it too far.
