Time Stalkers while not the best RPG i've played is by far the best one for the dreamcast so far. While returning to level one every time you leave a dungeon is frustrating your charcters individual paramaters will increase and they will gain new titles and skills. The fact that captured monsters can join your teams is really cool you can customize your party this way. Also the monsters on your team can also level up and gain new skills in much the same way the main character does. The random dungeon generation keeps the game interesting and the side quests add longevity to the game. However acquiring money is quite a task in and of itself you don not recieve money by defeating monsters as in most standard RPG's but you must gain money through working or finding and selling treasure. Time Stalkers has a high learning curve because even the hard core RPG fans will find it confusing at first. You must not only monitor your characters health poinsts and magic points but their hunger as well as their vitality. Overall Time Stalkers is a excellent effort and definately worth buying if even if you are not into RPG's.
