  1. Adrenaline Vault
    60
    Though there are minor problems with the graphics system, control scheme and interface, the primary drawback is that an experienced player can fly though it in around three hours and thirty minutes.
  2. GameSpy
    56
    Sadly, much of the game feels as if it were rushed, and the game's story and characters are presented so poorly as to all but ruin what could have an enjoyable experience.
  3. Happy Puppy

    In an attempt to please everyone, the game's standard may be that of the lowest common denominator. At least the book is included in the package.
  4. GameSpot
    42
    When the game is over, which is very quickly, you'll hardly remember a thing about it.
  5. All Game Guide
    40
    The battles, the excitement, and the potential mix of science fiction with history, is all lost in a stilted game environment that was obviously crafted by Crichton's vision of what the game should be vs. the ultimate goal of creating a good game.
  6. ActionTrip
    40
    The game sucks so badly I cannot seem to recover from the terrible and debilitating side effects.
  7. Computer Games Magazine
    10
    From opening the box to viewing the end credits, playing Timeline in its entirety takes roughly an hour and a half...Are you still here? What the hell is it going to take to convince you not to buy this?
