Chrono Cross is one in a hundred or even a thousand games. The graphics are astounding, for its time at least, and Mitsuda's music is so captivating that at times I'd just stop playing for a few moments to listen. Some of the first few battles can be easy or hard, depending on how quickly you grasp the Elemental system (I didn't realize it was there until I died about nine times without it, but that's just me), and they grow progressively tougher to the point that some of the sidequests are almost impossible without New Game+. New Game+ is the handy little invention that lets you beat the socks off that annoying Pentapus without even getting your hands dirty. While there are forty or so characters, they each have their own stories and it lets you combine them so that, at certain times, their Techniques will be even more powerful. Regrettably, the sheer number will probably make you feel like you're trying to hunt them down and there will usually be about twenty or thirty that you never use anyway. There have also been complaints about the normal battle theme, although I didn't see anything wrong with it and actually like it. My main beef with Chrono Cross is the ending. It seems to wrap things up rather nicely, combining all the Elements in one last stand, but it seems more like Square just wanted to throw in a final reference to Chrono Trigger and pull Lavos and Schala back into play. It probably would have made more sense if the game just ended after the boss preceeding that one, because Chrono Trigger's involvement is rather limited and if you're seeking a direct sequel, seek elsewhere. I realize that I may be a bit biased, since Chrono Cross raised me as a gamer, but I still think it's the best thing since TV and I don't think Square can ever match it.

Chrono cross is a loose sequel to chrono trigger. If you had not recently played c.t. you may not even notice it. If you remove the fact that it is suppose to be a sequel to c.t. then you will have a quality playing experience. Great f.m.v. good story with some nice twists

INTRO: About 5 years after the fantastic Chrono Trigger, a sequel was made, many loved it, some thought it was OK, and a few hated it.
GAMEPLAY: The battle system is different from CT's. You use things called "Elements" with different colors. It's kind of hard to figure out at first, but easy when you figure out what to do.
Their are tons (and I mean TONS) of characters to play as, and there's many paths to take to get them, so it adds to the replay value.
There are two worlds to travel to, the Home World, and the Alternate World. Both are the same, but they have different things in them. Very unique.
Like the original, this game has a New Game+. You start off with all your weapons and elements, and you can fight the final boss any time, thus making different endings. You also start off with this device which allows you to slow down or speed up the game. Sweet!
GRAPHICS: For the PS1, these graphics are great, especially the FMV's.
MUSIC: A great musical score, like most RPG's.
SOUND: No voices, but the sounds are decent.
STORY: A very great story filled with plot twists. Some parts are very confusing, though. Plus, the ties with CT aren't until a little while.
OVERALL: Classic RPG, no questions asked. Unfortunely, the third game, Chrono Break, was cancelled by the Square Enix idiots. Will we ever see a new Chrono game? Who knows...

first off: if you're a fan of chrono trigger, get this game. if you're a fan who's looking for a way to relive the glory of chrono trigger, and possibly meet a couple of Trigger's characters in this game, stay away. Chrono Cross isnt a blunt sequel like some other RPG games out there. TO even make it a sequel, you need to pay close attention and dive deep into detail to find the connections between the two. a few changes here and there and this could be a new RPG all together. Anyway, this game is great. the graphics, the gameplay (although the battles can be easy, and you can run away from every single one. Yes, even the last boss), the story... even the 40+ characters workout good! Any RPG fan who isnt going to cry for the rest of his life that he didnt get to play as Chrono again should check out this game. It has that timeless quality that many games miss. definitley worth your time and money.

This is one of my favorite RPGs, and although Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite, it doesn't come close to this game. For those of you thinking about buying PS2 games, they just don't compare in story or gameplay, although the graphics may be slightly better. Basically, you are looking at a game that excels in every aspect. The story is great, even though it may lose you at parts, the graphics are good for PS2, the music fits the game well, the battle system is unique, and doesn't use annoying random battles. This game may not be like Chrono Trigger, but it's still a great game. You've probably heard it called overrated, but if you haven't played Chrono Cross, give it a chance, it's definitely one of the best games ever made.
