A Very Disappointing Product

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2001
Review: Well, Eidos and Timeline Computer Entertainment has brought us a hell of a game based on a best-seller book with the same name by Michael Crichton, the same person that brought us ER and Jurassic Park. The game is a first-person adventure in which...

Stick to the book!

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2000
Review: Michael Crichton's second attempt at designing a computer game has failed miserably. With Amazon, published in 1984, he complained that the technology was not ready. With his latest fiasco, Timeline, a game that attempts to turn a blockbuster...

May be fun for kids, not for PC gamers.

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: Don't waste the money. Don't waste the brain cells. Don't waste your energy. Don't.
Review: Michael Chrichton's at it again! Only he's advanced his book writings to his own computer game. Chrichton has just finished his game, and it seems to be like a real winner. The box, if you look at it, looks awesome. What would be funner than going...

Crichton's Pet Failure

Date of Review:  May 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. Timeline takes all the book's inconsistancies and multiplies them. Most computers won't be able to keep up with the complex graphics.
Review: Michael Crichton is my favorite author, and Timeline is probably my second favorite book. But the Timeline game is just so irredeemably bad that there is no hope for salvation.

You play a team of... people sent back in time to 14th century...

Thrilled me to sleep!

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2001
Review: I first got this game as a Christmas present from my parents who have read the book before. I have also read parts of the book, and thought it was great. It had a good plot and was even thrilling in some parts... This was not the case with the...

Fun for Kids and Mom

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2000
Review: My daughters insisted I buy this game since we all love ER. I must say that Mr. Crichton sure knows how to create an engaging TV show, and now an engaging game!

Timeline is an adventure game that takes you back in time to rescue a...

FINALLY- A GAME FOR THE REST OF US!

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2000
Review: 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...
