One of the Best Shooters on the 360
But the best feature this game has: The Time Powers (Slow, Stop and Reverse) these are the player's ace in the whole, but it is wise to use them sparingly, since the use of one power, has the tendicy to render the other others useless until they recharge. This is the game's major flaw, since the recharge time is long, and the ammount of charge, affects the strength and durration of the time powers.
The main character, unlike Master Chief, is even more mysterious then HALO's masked hero, right down to the point where you don't even know if it's a he or a she, since the character is never shown outside of the BETA Suit, let alone anything about the character's past before the events of the game's cutscenes, even in the cut scenes you never once catch sight of the main character's face. The one factor that adds even more mystery to the character is the lack of a name. Never once though out the game is the main character's name even spoken, let alone alutted to.
This aura of mystery about your character harkens back to something that very few games use today: forcing the player to use his/her imagination about the character they play. This combined with the game's cool time powers, weapons, and graphics serves to make Timeshift a very sastifying experience
