Review by: Jonathan Houghton, December 20, 2000 [3 of 5] "Overall, Timeline just doesn't stand up as anything more than a slightly entertaining diversion. 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."
