Gameplay is weak, no plot, terrible graphics. I'm hoping 3D0 was simply allowing some high school interns make a game because otherwise these guys get paid waaaay too much.

Weak game overall, I paid $5 and was very disappointed.

Sad

This game is more of a first-person "shooter" than an RPG. The "quests" in the game lack any sort of depth. There is no real reason to follow any of the quests except for the main quest.

Pros:
.... hmmm.... wait.... let me think....
- oh wait I did like some of the spookier environments.
- you can save game anywhere.

Cons:
- Loading level after level is slow
- Game play is very very repetitive
- Shape shifting isn't really that interesting
- Quests don't yield much
- Frequent camera control problems
- Cheats do not let you acquire all the shapes so you have to play thru the extremely dull game to get them.
- Buggy- program froze on me several times.
- Unclear what some of the gatherable items do for you

Save your money for something better

Please i am telling you, this game is the worst thing that i have ever played in my life. These other people giving them 5s and 4s were high or drunk because this game [is bad]. I have played many games that were bad but this one is the worst. Don't waste your money on this game, I did and i so hate my self for it. This game has no point to it at all. You run around killing this with no real mission. What kind of game is that, oh also when the boss came up you wouldn't even know that he was the boss. I bet him and then the game was over. Very uncool!! I tried to trade that game in i would of only get [money]. If you are looking for a new game i would wait for a good one. Don't I said don't get this game. Get Devil May Cry thats a good one but just DON'T GET THIS GAME!

This is the worst game i have ever played. I bought this game with the reviews given here, and let me say that they must of been playing an other game when they where righting their review. This game is boring and not fun at all. The fighting in this game is the worst. You run around and chop things up with a knife. There no real mission in the game. I don't know what the point of the game was. The final battle was very very easy and no point of even trying to bet it. My 4 year old brother could bet the game. The only thing that i could say about this game was that thing the movie part of the game came on the graghics where okay not bad but not the best. If you want to save money don't buy this game. Get FFX

Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad game

Since I was neither high when I played this game and have actually played worse games than this, I've elected to write a review on this game that doesn't claim it is teh awesome or rant about mullets.

So, let us begin.

To start with, this is a horrible game. Missions are pointless, some major problems exist in the game physics, and the story is a nonexistent. You'll find yourself wandering around with only a tiny hint of what you are supposed to be doing. Sometimes you won't even be told what is happening.

However, if you sit down with lowered expectations, you could enjoy the game. And by fun, I mean you will be left laughing at the horrible game often. For example, several times I've watched as a monster ran toward me, got to close to the wall, and started floating off into the air as he tried to ran at me. Also, the time slowing technique allows you to toss the final boss through the wall of your fighting area. Then you must wait as it comes back. The cut scenes in the game are also absurd after the first level. When you start, it actually seems to have at least a bad plot, but have no fear kiddies. There is no Plot. Anyone that bothered to get as far as the camel ride with the mini boss fight (or whatever that was) knows what I'm talking about. The randomness of that fight made the game for me.

This game is trash, but if you're at the flea market and see a copy of this game real cheep, you'll be provided with a few to many hours (depending on how much you do or don't blow at video games) of laughs and absurd stupidity.

A previous-generation game on a next-generation console

Shifters is a third-person adventure game in the mold of Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto. The setting is fantasy medieval, and you are in control of a hero who vaguely looks like the protaginist in the recent console Might and Magic game.

The game consists of running around doing quests (take item A from here and deliver it to location B) and killing things. The highlight of the game is the ability of your hero to transform into various animal-like creatures, thus the title "Shifters".

The graphics of the game look like they could have been done on the PSOne. The attacks are uninteresting and don't vary much, despite there being several weapons available. The magic is likewise unimpressive, graphically and functionally. All in all, this is a very bland game.

Bottom Line: Take a pass on this one and pick up something else; the aforementioned Devil May Cry or Grand Theft Auto 3, or even Dynasty Warriors 3. They're all superior to Shifters.

Made me feel like I had a mullet and skin tight holey jeans, with a 1980's firebird and the ULTIMATE night ranger and journey cd collection.

Synopsis: Fall back game that dates back to the 80's. There are too many better games out there. Don't waste your money. Unless you're stuck in the dungeons and dragons time of life.

Obviously the last review didnt play through the whole thing

This game gets 10 times more interesting once you hit the other times and get past the medieval land the steampunk is awesome!!!

the quests also get more interesting than go to point a get this and deliver it to point b. so , while that last reviewers review was for the first area , once you get past it , it won't be dissapointing.

this game is awsome but has has some down points to it.

this game has good graphics and awsome monsters to shap shift to you basicly get levels up by kill opponents and the more levels you gain the more your shapshift bar goes up and the more your shapshift bar your up you will be able to turn into awsome ubeatable creatures but the down side is the missins are long and it takes along time and the loading times are a pain...all round this gaame is pritty good if your into monsters and turn into animals zombies genies and robots you should get this game .

Stop dissing it because it's not top-of-the-line!

This may not be the most advanced and seemless game out there, but that doesn't make it any less fun! The shapeshifting is cool and surprisingly fresh.
