Lol, care to explain why it sucks? What's wrong with it?
Although, I admit just from the commercials I didn't expect anything from it.

Lol that was a short and to the point review. I'll take your advise and not even bother looking at the game.

Every time I say it sucks it is 9 out of 10 it will sucks. Ok First it lags CANT BE MY SYSTEM. also the graphics are crap. The last game I played and beat was Great Wolfenstein. This one just didn't play right from the start and the story well that's crap too. try the demo and you will see what I mean. Just not an all around winner in my eyes :(

If you want a good time travel fps pick up timeshift. It's available on steam so it will be easy to get. http://store.steampowered.com/app/10130/ Also $20 is a good price. I think I payed $30 for it on dvd back before it was on steam. Anyway it's Good, well I liked it anyway
You get a time suit that allows you to stop, slow, and rewind time at will. It has a some neat time based puzzles and it defiantly adds an interesting element to combat. Oh and the weapons are pretty unique as well.
All in all, if you have $20 to spend and want to try something new and different give time shift a shot. I would also love to give multi-player a go if anybody does pick it up.
Oh and timeshift doesn't send you into the past, more to an alternate of the same time line due to a corrupt associate who goes back in time to take power. So it's still based in the future. But you get cool time powers and those are worth it.

Now after reading a bit of the review I kinda want to find a torrent just so I can kill Indians with a sub machine gun.

Of course I just had to go back and play timeshift again now that I got talking about it and I have to say, I love this game. Slowing down time to clear out a room full of baddies before they realize whats going on, or stopping time and jacking the gun right from somebody's hands only to unfreeze time and shoot them with their own gun as soon as their confusion subsides. Or stopping time, latching a grenade to somebody, hiding, unfreezing time, to hear them call out "Where did that come from?" BOOM! ah... good times. Oh and I was wrong the time line is set in an alternate futuristic past, around the 1930s I think it was.

There's also Timesplitters 2. It's pretty old, but it was called the spiritual successor to Goldeneye.

Technically wasn't Perfect Dark the successor to GoldenEye?
(AKA same game with different skins and a few new weapons, and not midget)

Is it better than FEAR which you could speed yourself up to simulate slowing down time?
