Better than the book!, Nov 15 2000
By "berjoule" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Timeline (CD-ROM)
The book was indeed a good read and a non-stop adventure. When I heard it was being made into a computer game, I just knew I had to have it.The game's story line is different in many ways from the book but for me it's an all new adventure. It is refreshing to see a new game on the market that is not violent and full of foul language. As an avid gamer, I am happy to see a fun, clean game come out of a increasingly dull market. It's about time something original came along.
The graphics are beautiful and even work on my two-year old PC. The music is orchestrated so well that I feel as if I am playing in a movie.
This is a game that I can let my children can play and I will continue to play over and over! I highly recommend it any day. I cannot wait to see more computer game titles from Mr. Crichton and company! Thank you.

Could have been MUCH better., Dec 2 2000
By Reuben - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Timeline (CD-ROM)
I purchased 'Timeline' last night, and just finished playing it this morning. I am STUNNED by the lack of difficulty, and the incredibly short story that this entailed. I did enjoy playing it, primarily because I loved the book so much, and it was enjoyable to interact with the world that I had read about. BUT, I have to say that from a game-playing stand point I am incredibly disappointed. But, I was happy to see a game with little violence, and no vulgarity at all. Too bad it didn't have the substance, the game-play, or the story line to make it a quality game. A "normal" gamer would expect to play a game for at least a month... NOT a hour and a half.If you are looking for a supplement to the 'Timeline' book, then by all means buy this CD-Rom. It's a good chance to see the world visually. If you are looking for a good game to play, look elsewhere! Considering how excited I was when I purchased the game, trust me, I'm very disappointed that I had to write a review like this.

FINALLY- A GAME FOR THE REST OF US!, Nov 22 2000
By "joebeez2000" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Timeline (CD-ROM)
I bought Timeline last week, and I have to say that my family LOVES this game. The graphics are incredible, and its easy enough for both old Dad (me) as well as my son and daughter to play. Even my wife has gotten into it, especially The Tour part of the game which provides fascinating detail about this era (medieval France).I've tried other games, but it seems there are many out there with content I find objectionable (too much gun violence). Timeline struck a great balance between action, exploration, and puzzle solving. Plus, my son was able to finish the game-- something he said he rarely does because other games get too hard or are extremely long. We thoroughly enjoyed Timeline, and would certainly recommend it to people who probably don't play many games. Five Stars!
