Time Hollow - Review

by Eliwood on 09 Mar 2009, 08:59 Viewed 118 times

Time Hollow joins the point and click adventure lineup on the DS, putting the player in the shoes of Ethan Kairos who wields the power to change the past. Despite some cool ideas and a fairly interesting narrative, this time traveling mystery adventure falls flat.

When Ethan Kairos wakes up on his 17th birthday, he finds that his parents have mysteriously disappeared and he is left living with his uncle Derek. His parents have apparently been missing for 12 years despite Ethan's memories of them. The mystery thickens when Ethan finds a pen that allows him to draw holes in time, reaching into the past to alter the present. As he tries to make sense of his present, Ethan fixes the past to prevent disasters from hurting his friends and family. The game provides a heaping helping of plot, and while it tries to gradually introduce each idea, time travel cannot help but raise a few complications.

I love the art style in this game so much, but otherwise was never really interested in it.
That and a few of the shared level designs are insane, such as a working calculator.

My little brother passed MW2 on Veteran. Along with most of the Spec Ops missions. He's a fucking retard.

Delectable review as always, Eli.

Well, I've, erm, acquired it. Still have to see if it'll run at decent rates though.

I'd offer to join in, however I've only got the PC version.
It's great for single-player, since the visuals are sexed up to the max, but multiplayer is a no-no.

Definitely, Stett. I can barely pass regular difficulty by myself, much less hardened or veteran.
