I loved Chrono Trigger but havn't had the time to pick up this game, so i got it from a friend. I was stunned by the opening which had a wonderful tune and awesome CG graphic. Good sign indeed i thought. Well I started and fought my 1st battle, which perhaps, took about 10 mins. Ok, I was pretty confused, but just some straight hitting got me through! phew. But enough about my journey, lets get to the game.
Graphic- like i said the graphic is detailed and amazing. Especially the CGs. Its worth watching every sec. of it. Also the element( magic) attacks are animated every well.
Sound- Yasuori Mitsuda did it again. He's amazing musical composing talent did it again!( ok i already said that but...yeah) If you havn't heard him from CT then your missing out. Some songs are must downloads!
Story and battle- The story of course, being a SQAURE producting, is very intricate and complex. (confusing too) It's tided somewhat to CT and the fate of Schala. The battles are NOT RANDOM yah! they're mostly very easy and can run from almost everyone.(yes even bosses for your less prepared for battle people :)Anyway, good thing about it you dont really need to level up for 3hrs or so. but you do get higher stats for your in-play characters.
Replay Value- definatly! If you dont know about the NewGame+ feature, then I'll tell. You get all the stats when u beat the boss and carry it to your new game+. haha watch out kamota mom! ok sorry... Also you can get new characters by taken diffrent paths to complete a quest. AND get diffrent enddings! yes theres alot more work to do. phew....
I guess I covered everything, I hope you enjoyed this review ans of course will enjoy the game. Good news: they're coming out with a 3rd sequeal!( called Chrono Break) but please don't BREAK my bone for my "false info that I got from a non-reliable source" keep it cool! later! :)

WOW (^_^)

That game is so great! I thought that the ghrapics where beautiful! but I must say, It's no better than Chrono Trigger. And I have the game myself. you know, the beating the lavos thingy to save the world? I thougt the music was better, too. As I say, nothig's better than the original! but I still like the ghrapics. in fact I think that the grapics where a tad better.

One of the best rpgs around!!!!

Chrono Cross, like Chrono Trigger, is amazing. With beautiful graphics, tons of characters to play as, and awesome attacks, this game qualifies as one of my favorite rpgs around. If you liked the original, you'll love this installment in the Chrono series.

Do not trust magazine reviews!!

Fantastic. Awesome game play and customizeable control. Fun. Awesome graphics. Brilliant detail. Numerous characters. Very nice.

Pretty Graphics, but that's it? That's just disappointing.

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time. Chrono Cross is my least favorite game of all time. I'll tell you why:

Chrono Cross didn't strike me as very fun or even interesting even though I played through it (mainly because I loved the first game so much and I REALLY wanted to try and at least figure out the connection).

Sure, it had a couple tunes from the first game and for a playstation game the graphics were fantastic, but other than a few names of characters from the first game thrown out there it had almost nothing to connect it to the first game. The story was confusing and bizarre, the battle mode was completely altered so that all the good stuff no longer existed, there were 40 plus character that were all basically the same in the way they fought and usually had no part in the botched up story. Double and triple techs were pretty much replaced by a generic equiping magic system that was boring.

The graphics were good though.

Anyway, I know it got good ratings and heard it even got a some kind of reward, but to this day I can't figure out why. I didn't feel this game was much fun at all. I still love Chrono Trigger as my all time favorite game, but I just don't get what they were thinking when they declaired something as different and horribly scripted as this to be related to the ground breaking Chrono Trigger.

Maybe Squaresoft (now Square Enix )can learn from it's mistakes and just treat it like a spin off because I really would like to see something that looks and feels like the origanal Chrono Trigger if there is a "next time" when it comes to a sequel.

Anyway, if you have a playstation 2 and are think of getting this game because you've researched it a little and think you like the sound of it's gameplay, I would suggest getting or at least looking at Suikoden 3 instead (NOT Suikoden 4, that one stunk). It actually has a lot of similar ideas when it comes to the battle mode, but only...Suikoden 3 did it right. Chrono Cross is lower than low when compared to the gameplay of Suikoden 3.

Way over rated.

this game had two huge flaws to be great. One was that the battle system just plain sucked. It really wasent enjoyible. Two, the story was way to confusing. If it wasnt for these 2 things it would have been a great game.

Squaresoft at its finest

What a great time this was! I LOVED the control that the player actually has over the story; in other Square titles, the RPG aspect of things is questionable. Sure, you can pick which characters you play, but the game itself is unaffected by the player's choices. Chrono Cross actually allows you to direct the story in quite a few places, and that is a welcome development.

The only complaint I had - and it is an admittedly small one - is that there are SO many characters to recruit and choose from that the character development gets a tad thin. Of course, considering that there are almost 40 characters to play, this is understandable.

I highly enjoyed this particular game, and will play it again. The only advice I would have for future gamers is to make sure that you purchase the game guide as well as the software; there are so many different possibilities and in-game secrets that you shouldn't miss out on. I know I missed quite a few things the first time, and I wouldn't want to do it again!

Not a good as the first.

If you liked the Chrono Trigger, you'll like this game. On the other hand, if you liked Chrono Trigger, don't expect this game to live up to the standard Chrono Trigger set. The game as a whole falls short of it's SNES brother, but is still worth a play.

A game you DO NOT want to miss!

Chrono Cross isnt like Chrono Trigger, however, it does take after the game and formed itself into one brilliant RPG masterpeice. I have had it for 2 years now and i STILL love playing it over and over again, getting different endings, and re-living the storyline. You do not want to miss out on this game. Plus, i think some of the songs on it are pretty good for the game itself. A true must have game, BUY IT

WHHHOOOOOHHHHOOOOO!
