Timeshift Reviews
Timeshift was an OK game, but it comes with SecuROM v7 (v1.0: v7.33.0017 / v1.2: v7.34.0014). I now check games out to see if they have Secrom on them and will NEVER again buy any game with Securom on it. Deleting Securom off my machine took third party utilities and too much time.
It installs, but then when you ask it to run, it flashes for a second and then dies. We have not. We have a fairly new computer with windows xp and a graphics card which meets the specs listed on the box and we cannot get this game to run.
This is apparently what is happening generally when attempting to adapt xbox/playstation games for the computer- they are sent out there with a lot of bugs. Good luck. After doing some extensive research this is a common problem.
Some people have managed to tweak their computers in order to get this game to run. Even with the latest patches, we still cannot get it to run. I'd seriously advise against wasting any money on this game.
This game runs great on my older XP computer. and for this low price, it's agreat deal. Highly recommended. Graphics are decent, sound is good, controls and gameplay are intuitive. You can't go wrong with this first person shooter Half-Life2 knock-off.
Download latest patch (1.2) asap from game website. Amazon game box picture shows CD, but I received DVD edition. For me it beats paying $20 more for a PS3 copy when my PC can run it just fine. Reminds me of DOOM 3 and F.E.A.R.
I'm running game with Window XP SP3, EVGA NF4 motherboard, AMD Opteron 185 2.6GHz Skt 939 CPU, DDR400 PC3200 400MHz 1GBx2 CL2.5 in Dual Channel, Seagate 160GB HDD SATA1 and MSI GF 8800GT OC x2 SLI. (Sierra). Visuals are very nice clean looking from what I can recall. My PC setting isn't the latest but it's still adequate for this and most games.
Fun and straight forward FPS shooter. In game graphic advance settings didn't have a lot of options or I couldn't find them such as application control Anti-Aliasing. Also plays, looks and feels like a combination of those two games. Buyers might want to see recommended PC specs before purchasing to ensure their PC can run game.
At its current bargin bin price definitely worth picking up for PC gamers in need of a new game. Looks great, even with high settings, vsync on and at decent display resolution (I think 1680x1050) on a Dell 24" WS LCD frame-rates never drop to unplayable, actually I don't think it ever dipped lower than 50 fps with lots going on. Time altering abilities, corridor exploration with some open space segments pathing, and smooth responsive gameplay.
Much better then crysis.runs great on a dual core quad with g-force 8600 GT. I love shooters, but never seen anything like this game. great sound efects.I wish all shooters are like that one. best action and the look is stunning.
