It's a refreshing premise, but it isn't executed as well as it should be. Approach with caution.
-
Similarly to a game like "The Getaway," Without Warning is one of those games people will either take in and enjoy for what it is or hate with abandon due to its frustrating camera problems and derivative plot that never fully delivers on its unique premise.
-
Game InformerWith no engaging story or personalities, this title doesn't even come close to hooking you with its shifting, convergent story lines - unlike Without Warning's supposed inspiration, the show "24." [Nov 2005, p.148]
-
A decent albeit an average 3rd person action game, which although showing some flaws, most noticeably the AI at times; remains engaging and fun.
-
Perhaps the biggest downfalls are the targeting and shooting systems (the heart of any third-person game involving guns) which are adventures in their own right, and make for some trying times throughout each mission.
-
It focuses too much on the Timeline gimmick but doesn't quite make it feel like a natural part of the gameplay.
-
It doesn't help matters that the game plays like a mindless shooter-by-numbers.
