Editorial Review:
Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classic Chrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait. Taking off 20 years after the first game, Chrono Cross follows a boy named Serge across parallel worlds--both the world in which he lives and one in which he drowned 10 years earlier.

Chrono Cross will wow players with beautiful prerendered graphics and a unique battle system. Elements replace magic and items in battle, and using the same element three times in a row will ultimately increase your power. In addition to using elements, the accuracy of physical attacks is determined by probability, with easier-to-land weak attacks setting up fierce blows.

The plot, while a bit slow to develop, is full of interesting characters. Players will need to travel between the two worlds to advance the plot. While many of these areas will initially appear to look similar, you'll find them to be quite different upon closer examination of the details. For instance, a plant that is extinct in one world thrives in the other.

My only qualm with Chrono Cross is that, despite the complexities of the battle system, veterans will have an easy time with early battles. Still, there's much to like about this SquareSoft epic. --Robb Guido

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great game everyone should play it once at least!
This game brings a nice change compared to most single player RPG games, the battle system and leveling system are very unique and keep things interesting. The storyline is great also!

I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chrono Cross was the perfect follow-up to Chrono Trigger
If you were blown away by Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross will take you to the next level and blow you away again. Be prepared to dedicate many hours to this wonderful game.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Music, graphics, characters = A+ RPG
Awesome game, if you like RPGs. It has very little to do with it's predecessor, Chrono Trigger, but it's a great game on it's own.

The graphics are excellent, and even hold up to todays standards. The cutscenes are incredible. And the music is so good you'll want to download a number of the songs. The story is interesting enough to keep you going through the fantasy world. Character developement is minimal because it's spread out among dozens and dozens of characters, and therefore focuses on just a few of them. Exploring the world is a lot of fun, there are various colorful & detailed locations with new foes to vanquish, items to find and new characters to recruit to your side.

The shortcoming is that the game is focused on combat, which gets very monotonous. The combat system does introduce a new style that is creative with flashy effects (and takes some getting used to), you just go through it so often over the course of the game, it becomes a nuisance. Thankfully you can avoid the encounters most of the time if you're not in the mood for it. Also, some might find it annoying that the main character does not speak at all - he has no lines of dialog. Another potential hang up for people could be that to advance the plot, you have to figure out puzzles sometimes. These range from barely challenging to "pull your hair out and scream". At least there are walkthroughs available online in case you get stumped as to where to go and what to do.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with this game, there are some very memorable scenes and distinctive characters, especially the antagonist (fancy word for 'bad guy'). The cutscenes are a joy to behold and the music is beautiful and bold. It's just that whacking enemies with your weapon and casting the same old spells umpteen thousand times gets tiring. Small complaint about an excellent game though, Squaresoft (now SquareEnix) lives up to it's reputation.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best Games Ever.
Chrono Cross is a great game, with beautiful visuals and an awesome story. It also have a Very good replay value, because when you beat the game you can start it over with all your items and current status. plus, there are many more secrets unlocked when you beat the game. such as a bonus dungeon and extra bosses.
