Chrono Cross has to be the best rpg ever! The music is the best in any other game i've seen, there's over 40 characters you can get on your team, there's 70 different ways the game ends depending on decisions you make during the game, it's challenging, addicting, and has a great plot!

The long awaited sequel

Finally the long awaited sequel to Chrono Trigger, the greatest rpg ever. The grapics are awesome and the music fits well with the story. You play as a boy named Serge, and you begin in a town called Arni. Anyway you get transported to an alternate dimension where years earlier you died. No one believes that you're Serge. Thats all i'm going to tell you about the story so that i won't ruin it for you. The game also has cutscenes where you will notice things from Chrono Trigger such as the scene with Lucca's lab being burned down (Lucca's lab wasn't burned down in Chrono Trigger but you got to see her lab). Overall i think that the Chrono Cross lives up to the expectations that Chrono Trigger set.

Biggest Dissapointment.......

Okay. When i first bought that sorry-excuse for a game, i was sooooo hyped up. I was thinking, SQUARESOFT HAS DONE IT AGAIN!! I put the game into my PS and start playing to soon discover.....theres no EXP. Then more bad stuff comes my way... I find out you dont level up. AT ALL. Their idea of leveling up is fighting a billin battles and then having your HP go up 1 or something. THEN, you have this ... battle and magic system. Words can hardly describe how bad it was. The story was ... I have a friend who actually stuck it out and played through the whole game (boy do i feel sorry for him) and the ending....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME.

on a positive note, it had good music. thats the only reason you should buy this game...no, wait, just buy the soundtrack.

and oh yeah...... THEY ... OFF CRONO.

dont play this game. its poison to your mind. No where near as good as FF7 or FF8 or FF9.

Great RPG

This game contains all of the best elements of an RPG. The graphics are vivid, the music is outstanding, and the story is among the best. It provides around 30 to 40 hours of gameplay which you will absolutely love. You can choose from forty or so party members, each with their own innate abilities and special attacks. The element system is, in my opinion, the best magic system Square has produced. The only problem I had with the game is that it never seems to end when you play it. Several times during the game, I thought I had reached the end of the game, only to find out that I had another obstacle ahead. This did get frustrating, but it never took anything from the gameplay. I would recommend this game to any RPG fan.

QUITE POSSIBLY ONE OF THE BEST GAMES i'VE EVER PLAYED!!

hello, im writing to say that i havent played the game but would most definately appritciate it if i had the chance to play it.through reading the reviews i have noticed a reoccurance of the fact that people have said that the game is really well made and worth buying. my point of this letter is to say that, i live in ireland, but i would love to purchase a copy of chrono cross because i am eager to play it!but the problem is, that im wondering if i could possibly get it sent to ireland or maybe if that isnt possible, someone could provide me with imformation on its release date here in the united kingdom.. thanks for your time...,

Calling all RPG devotees and Music Lovers!!

This is a game worth going to the trouble of looking for and buying... or simply clicking a few times on this page and buying it from Amazon, though i got mine used, as good as new with a Game Doctor, and with the PS2, it runs good anyway. Ok now that i'm done advertising i'll just skip talking about the game. You can probably read several other reviews that might even give away the story. But i'll say this... after playing it about 6 times i've fainlly used every character to my hearts extent, but am too curious about the rumored endings. Ok, i know that some games have several endings, just as Chrono Tirgger (the prequil to Cross, also available on Amazon). It all depends on which characters you use to beat the game, at what point you beat the game in NewGame+ mode, and if you use the Cross or not. There's too many variations on it, and i still can't make Harle stay!

But what i'm going to talk about is the Sound Track. That's right. Ok you know the Boston Pops, right? Well i'm sure they'd do much of the Chrono Cross music if there wasn't already a sound track for it. I mean seriously, my own mother, a few friends, professor, and colleagues all could not believe that the music came from a video game! It was immpossible to make them believe it, well some of them, until they heard it from the game themselves. That's true, this has the best music that i've ever heard, besides the tracks in FF7 (probably becuase i loved that game and it didn't matter if it had no music). It's also just as singsongy as Xeno gears(despite the fact that the music wasn't that great) and it is what drives the game along as well. The polygon characters, which are great by the way, cannot really express saddness, desperation, hope, anger, all those things etc. but the music fully conveys that fact. The combinations of the guitar and percussion instruments (harsh) against the flutes and Violins (soft) give it a really great "fantastical". I got it all off Napster (before Napster turned Tollroady on us) and burned it. It's the only music that actually keeps me awake in the car on those long 8 hours drives (in excpetion to Star Wars). Ok, so the music is great! Get it just for the music! And beat it so you can hear the ending theme and the credit music! Ok... and get it becuase it's a decent game with many options, not really linear and not really open for your chosing. There are hundreds of sidequests and the secondary character you don't even have to save or use after a certain point. There's no silly side game like cards as complex and useless as FF9's or... that's all i can think of.

Anyway, i have a PC and had sold my PS becuase FF7 and 8 came out for PC. But then Chrono Cross came out and i immediately bought another POS/PS1 just to play Chrono cross. Though be warned, theres a problem with older PS's about the second disk's startup... try turning the PS on its side or even turning it over. I finally got it to work after 20 minutes, but i didn't mind as long as the background music was playing along :-)

Yes, worth buying, playing and listening to. Enjoy a great game with many possibilites, all depending on what decisions you make. Play it through once doing what you think is the "linear" path of the game, and then play it through with a more daring mind, trying to break away from the Linear method. You'll be surprised at how different the game can be. Of course it all comes down to the same thing in certain places... but even the second character in your party can differ between two characters, and the third can differ between 4... get the picture? Purchase and enjoy!

Better then Final Fantasy

Hey, anyone lookin at this game is smarter then the average RPG'r Squaresoft outdid themselves when they made this game. You get about thirty playable characters, and plenty of special attacks and elemental spells. There is no level system because after every battle your stats go up. Compared to the Final Fantasy Games, Chrono Cross has very good replay ability. There is no random battle system and no bosses that are impossible to beat and all the characters are developed well. This is one of the best RPG's ever made. Trust me, I've played em all.

ONE OF THE BEST RPGS TO EVER GRACE THE PLAYSTATION CONSOLE, EXQUISITELY EXECUTED, FLAWLESS CHARACTER DESIGN, SMOOTH RENDERING AND A HIGHLY EVOCATIVE SOUNDTRACK, "CHRONO CROSS" IS ONE OF THE BEST REASONS TO EVER OWN A PLAYSTATION, BUT DONT BELIEVE ME, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY IT

A Must Play Game

I love this role-playing game, like I love all other role-playing games. The element and stamina systems are wonderful. I also love the variety of characters and the fact you have to go to two diffrent worlds to get them. The bosses are really awsome,like the six dragon gods. I really enjoy anything that Squaresoft makes and this is definantly one of there best games.

If you like this you might like Final Fantasy 7.
