I recently got this game and it is really fun it actually has good dialogue and it has a host of characters that are actually different some game all the computer people all look the same and have the same personality ...boring. I really enjoy this game being up there with my favorite RPG games like Golden Sun and Fire emblam. Though the only drawback is the graphics they aren't DOA but they do have some cartoonish gleam too them.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Let's see, Diablo 1 & 2 made uber-leveling fun but did it matter? No. You gained levels only to have more powerful foes charge at you. So, what's the difference if you start at level 1 in each dungeon or if you walk in and have to fight enemies that are tougher anyway? You still gain skills that you get to keep, you gain items you get to keep, you gain allies you get to keep, you gain creatures you get to level up/train and keep. Anyone who can condemn this as a terrible RPG because of the leveling system in the game is a superficial, half-wit that's probably better off listening to their Britney Spears & Eminem whilst playing their fruity PS2.

This game has wonderful character design, colorful and original world settings, and a bevy of dungeon-stomping to be done. It's a great game! No, it doesn't have a stellar story but then neither did Diablo and you smacktards played that!

Very entertaining and great for all ages. I highly recommend this especially in light of the lack of Dreamcast RPG's.

One of the best RPG for the Dreamcast, EVER!

I've read quite a lot reviews on here, and some if not all, complain about the level 1 bit when leaving a dungeon. Well while at first it upset me, it was some hours later that I found it fun and just part of the game, instead of a problem. If all you want is to play some 'good' RPG *coughs* go play Grandia2, but if you want a one-of-kind RPG that actually makes you think and have fun while doing it, grab Timestalkers. Stick with it, and you'll see just how much fun this 'lame game' can be, and if anyone is curious, I still play this game even after all these years, and have yet to get tired of it. So those of you that _tried_ the game and didn't give it enough time..go back, play it, even if you think you hate it, give it another go. Timestalkers is a game that has to grow on you..and while yes Evolution 'n Grandia2 ARE great games, Timestalkers is a great game too, but you just have to play it more, to understand it! ^_-

Who thinks up this stuff?

Why the heck would anyone make a game like this? I cant believe there were actual human beings behind its creation. I mean, who was it that said "Hey! Lets make them start back at level one in each dungeon just for kicks! haha!!", total waste of money ...

SEWAGE!!!

How anyone can give this title a solid 5stars is beyond me. This title is by far the worst RPG game ever created!!! "Time Stalkers" is everything gone wrong with an RPG, which had the potential of being a great title, if just a little more time and effort were put into the project. Dungeons are randomly picked, (which can be an either good or bad thing dependings on one's preference) can only carry 5 items when entering a dungeon (only level 1 weapons can be carried inside a dungeon since your character is started at level even time they enter a new) , and worst of all if you're defeated in a battle guess what, not only do have to start the entire dungeon from scratch, but you're also started back at level 1 and lose all of strong weapons which you had gathered during your voyage!! What were the creaters thinking?!! Not only that, but the list goes on and on!! Do not buy this title!! I'll make you want to play NES rpg titles!!! Which are better may I add, than this title!!

THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE

The story to this game is great. Awesome even. But the gameplay....the returning to lvl 1 after each dungeon and all the little bugs and glitches that make it horrible ruin it....

A trying RPG

Time Stalkers is an rpg that trys its hardest and succeeds, sort of.The games graphics are good when it comes to dreamcast standards. But the monsters are so easy. If you really but your mind to it you'll beat it, but if you don't you'll just die of bordom!!! Now don't get me wrong its not terrible, its just simple. If your dieing for an RPG than pick up a copy but if your looking for a nice medium difficulty game don't.

A ... RPG Game

Time Stalkers has some awesome ideas behind it, but it has too many problems to really recommend above your standard RPG on the PlayStation. Currently, EGG is still the only real worthwhile RPG on the system, and it's of the action variety. I actually enjoyed Time Stalkers a bit more than Evolution, primarily due to the title's original ideas. I'd definitely recommend that you hold off your cash until the real role playing games hit the system.

...Ummm...The soundtrack's good...

The only thing I really liked is that one song... the main town theme...the level up thing annoys me greatly... there is this one boss that also annoys me... he has this "auto hp" thing...if you hit him...he gains back enough hp to ... you off... but he is beatable... I almost had him once... it all depends on the items you get in the dungeons which is totally random...like i said...the only reason why I gave this game 4 stars is that one song. I like that song...it's cheery.

Timestalkers- I feel so Nautious

Timestalkers is the most pathetic attempt at an RPG I've ever seen. A boy and his Blob and the ROM Life's Battle are gaming miracles compared to this. First off, your levels restart every time you enter a new dungeon, and you can carry almost nothing into a dungeon. Games like this caused the Dreamcast to bomb.

We need to send Time Stalkers back to grade school to teach it about being a good game.

Buy it if you are feeling particullary retarted today. I hope this warning prevents you from making the same mistake I did. I would have killed for a review when I first got this game, I had to pay a lot since I got it when it first game out.

This was Sega's first RPG attempt on the Dreamcast, and like they say, "First is the worst".

Buy a miracle RPG like Skies of Arcadia or Shenmue instead.

P.S.-The guys who gave those kickin' reviews were Toys R Us employees trying to make you buy this game.
