well, if u liked zelda:ocarina of time, ull love this game. the graphics are good, and so is the story. the only problem with it is the fact that every time u enter a new dungeon, u start from level one. but thats cancelled out by all the good things

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! ^_-

Time Stalkers One Of the Greats

I took a risk when I bought this game. I had no idea what it would be like, but I was pleasently surprised. This game surpased all of my expectations. The graphics are gorgeous, There's plenty of stuff to do, the characters are creative. The biggest problem with this game is that it's too short. And I have to say one thing to all those reviewers who said this wasn't a good game, stop being so critical, play the game as if you were just someone who bought it for fun. So, if you are a beggining to/or moderate RPG player, this is a game for you.

AWESOME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Definately worth it

i thoroughly enjoyed this game. i had never been an RPG fan, but i thought this game looked pretty interesting, so i got it. i too was pleasantly suprised. it is somewhat kid oriented, but entertaining nonetheless. the replay value is extraordinary. i beat it last week and i STILL dont have one of the characters. (i've found more interesting things, such as building the levels of all the monsters ive captured) i would recommend this game to anyone who asked...definately. the only quarrel i have with it is that the main game in it entirety is definately too short. there needs to be more story to it. id like to see a sequel.

Fun Fun Fun but graphics are a bit bad

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.

Strange, Different, But Actually Pretty Good

Timestalkers, for the younger crowd, is the sequel to the Sega Genesis hit Landstalkers. In typical Sega fashion, this game breaks new ground and leads the RPG genre into a risky, and very different direction. First warning: If you like to level up until you have godlike powers, and then storm through the level, look elsewhere. You start off in each dungeon at level 1, and can carry only a few items with you when you enter. What I feel is the hardest part about getting into Timestalkers is the break from the old "level-up" stratum that the RPG genre seems to be bound to at the hip. There is no, I repeat NO level gains between dungeons. All level ups are done in the dungeon, and once you beat the boss, you are back to level one again. However, you do increase as your class increases, allowing you to have more abilities and skills, which do follow you from dungeon to dungeon. The graphics are quite colorful, and are a pleasant break away from the Squaresoft style, which has permeated virtually every RPG on the face of the planet. The music is downright strange, but if anything, interesting enough to keep me listening to it. Combat is an interesting matter. You are placed on a grid with your opponents and engage in turn-based combat. The only real difference that separates this from the traditional RPG is the ability to move along these grid squares in combat, which can affect your various skills and strengths. As though Pokemon has spread a virus throughout the world, yes, monster collecting is in the game, and yes, you can use them in combat to either help you or battle your opponents. If anything, I suggest buying this game simply for its artistic courage and innovation. The game is not for everyone, but a pleasant distraction for one willing to try something new.
