Good, but...

This game has a ton of potential, however by the time I made it to the 14th level or so, I found that a lack of interest prevented me from pursuing the rest of the game. The story line is poorly portrayed, even if they want it to be mysterious, and the levels seem a bit repetitive. My rating is due the games providing of challenges, and I'm not talking about what they consider "puzzles". Even though you are equipped with a special time shifting suit, you must fight an entire army. This makes the fight more than difficult sometimes, so get used to dying and trying countless times again, and blowing up enemies in slow motion is always cool. This game is definitely worth a play, even purchase, but I find myself disappointed at the end of each day I play. Some may love it while I see it as a way to pass the TIME...

Never write a review here because my english is so bad that I prefer not to, even when I really want to. So , I'll try to do my best writing this one.

Was reading all the bad reviews here about the game and I found very funny someone complaining about this game that will not run if the output for you TV is not 720p or greater. Come on guys, this is A Next Generation Game. Besides, the main reason Playstation 3 is in the market is because Playstation 2 do not have the ability to output with High Definition (720p, 1080i or 1080p).

This game have a very terrific game play, very original, give you what a first person shooter supposed to, high adrenaline picks (not a happy trigger kind of game thought), challenging you enough so you can't beat the game easily like I did with Resistance: Fall of man and Call of Duty 4. Once you get to master your abilities to use the controller to change the time slow/stop/reverse, shoot and move at the same time and apply that to all the well thought tactics of the game the you should be fine, even better, very rewarding when you finally get it.

In other hands this is the only game that has the ability to freeze my system to the point that I had to turn it off with the power supply button that is in the back of the unit and I think that's a result of developers that don't know how to take a real advantage of the amazing hardware that Playstation 3 is.

If you're upset because you purchased a PS3 without getting a proper t.v. to match its capabilities, then go get one, or stop whining. Also, if you give this game a chance (stop being frontrunners), and play it through, you will be surprised over and over by its graphical wonders and variety of challenging gameplay. No bad camera angles. Just play it on a great setup, and you'll be able to truely appreciate all this game has to offer.
