I'm a couple levels into this game and its fun. the story is kind of weak so far, you are a scientist working on nano-suits with time control powers. evil scientist steals prototype A, blows up building, travels back in time and causes alternate timelines by fucking shit up in the past. you managed to grab prototype B and have traveled back in time to unfuck problems.
graphics are very nice. no the best ive ever seen, but im not playing in high def. controls are a 6 out of 10 for me. i have to play on high sensitivity when i play FPS because everything else feels sluggish(thats all FPS though). it feels like there is a bit of dead zone before you move your reticle, so its frustrating for me to try and get headshots. the jump isnt very high but it does alow you to jump over debris and on top of boxes so its not useless. the weapons ive nabbed so far are fun, if a bit traditional:pistol, assault rifle, shotgun, sniper rifle. they all have alt fires. pistol goes 4 round burst with no recoil, AR has a grenade launcher, shottie shoots 3 shells simultaneously, i havent tried the alt on the sniper yet. you have sticky grenades as well.
now the gameplay. you have power over time. you can slow, pause and rewind time. this ability is limited and you have a gauge that displays how much you can do these things. slow uses very little, pause uses more and rewind drains it the most. it automatically refills itself after a few seconds of not using it. your health recharges the same way. affecting time in any way speeds your health regeneration rate. they kept the game very, very fast paced and tough, and this works great seeing as how you have control over time. the puzzles they have also rely on time bending, and they are quite fun and actually make sense. theres also giant fucking robots that will walk down the street and blow the hell out of everything. awesome. i hop i get to kill one and hopefully get to operate one. well see. ive only driven one vehicle and thats a four wheeler. they kinda suck.
anyways, id give the game a 7-10. its fun, looks good and theres just something to be said about pausing time, using a shotgun on 5 guys and then unpausing time to watch all 5 of them fly backwards dead at the same time :D
