GamersInfo Review - Time Hollow

GI.net: "Time travel is a cool concept. No, it doesn't require "geek status" to actually get into it. I mean, I was about 10 years old when the role-playing game masterpiece Chrono Trigger was released, and I devoured it. Who wouldn't love to travel through time and correct the mistakes of the past - and perhaps even cause things to occur the way they were supposed to occur? Well, Konami has released an adventure game for the Nintendo DS: Time Hollow. So how does it stand up as a DS game? Read on to learn more.

In Time Hollow you follow 17-year-old Ethan Kairos. He lives with his parents until he goes to sleep one night and has a horrible dream that his parents disappear in a fire. He then wakes up and discovers he lives with his uncle Derek. Yet he clearly remembers living with his parents for 16 years. He also notices that morning that he has a pen (known as the Hollow Pen). This pen is not some ordinary pen. No, this pen allows the user to access things at previous times when all the proper information is in place. And when the past is changed, it allows the wielder to obtain impressions (flashbacks) of important events that have transpired. Thus, with pen in hand, Ethan sets out to discover what happened to his parents and help his friends stay alive over a course of several days."
