The best |
| Peta from B.C says (3/Feb/2003): |
This is the best ps1 game ever if you think it sucks you have no taste in good rpg games. Oh yeah if you get this game is suggest you get a walkthrough at game faqs!!! I think Chrono Trigger would be better because i played on a emulator on my computer when i could save whenever the ps1 emulator cant do that but Chono Cross is the best ps1 game i'v played that is rpg. Yeah that right!! i will waste spaces know since you have to have 200 hundred spaces or it wont be posted. But i addvise to get the game and a walkthrough or youll be totaly messed!! There are so many Characters to choose. The element part is kinda hard to understand at first but once you get it the game is pretty easy. The battle system is harder than Chrono Trigger but its still a good game. I love this game cause its such a good rpg. The music is okay and the graphics rool.

Best Game I played for the playstation |
| Unknown #27 from Lake Havasu City, Az says (19/Feb/2003): |
This is one of the best playstation games i ever played. It is very fun along with the story line of it. I enjoy it alot. I have almost finished the game. I would recommend it if you like rpg/fantasy games.The sound/music is great. The fun factor I give it a 10 out of 10. The graphic are still good but not top notch graphics. Still i recommend it. I think the game is original. The game has easy gameplay. The game is great.One of the best rpgs there. I love it.

The BEST game ever by a long shot |
| Jordy Jungs from Cudworth, Saskatchewan, Canada says (12/Apr/2003): |
This game was the ultimate!It had awesome graphics, good music(kind of)and it was not too hard. I never mastered it yet though, but i don't care cuz i don't even own this game.i borrowed it from a friend and right noww i'm at Terra Tower. Now, back to the point, it had a lot of characters and choices and it was funny once in a while.I haven't played Chrono Trigger before though. The next 2 games i'm buying is Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger. This game is hard to shut off. I couldn't stop playing it. I agree with Peter Holbrook a lot. I highly recommand people buy this game. It is the best!!:)

THIS GAME IS THE BEST RPG EVER!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Jenna Spence from West Yorkshire, England says (27/Apr/2003): |
Chrono Cross is the BEST RPG game ever! I love japaneze anime and manga and this games graphics are the best. The characters are the best they could be. They all have their own look and personality which makes the game all the better! My fave characters are Serge (for obvious reasons), Kid coz shes up for anything and Guile coz hes so mysterious and looks soooo cool!
The music gos perfect with whats happening and the emotions of the characters. I love the opening theme. Me and my mate turned on the game and as soon as the begining was over she asked if I could restart it so she could wach it again ^_^;
I am only at Water Dragon Ile and the story line makes you whant keep playing non stop eg. Serges dream at the begining of the game, scarey but sooooooooo cool, but I wont give any thing away or it spoils it.
I suggest that you get a walkthrough on the internet becouse it may get confusing at times, But dont let that put you off!
In my opinion Chrono Cross is a MUST HAVE!
I REALLY recomed getting this game coz theres always that will really interest you!

This Is The Best Game I Ever Played |
| Jeremy from USA from Ohio, USA says (23/Jun/2003): |
This game has awsome graphics and I like how the game is set up. I like the weapons and the magic they have and I like the creatures. I like the whole thing instead of naming things. If u ever get this game u probaly will like it, because i stayed up untill 5:00 in the morning playing it.
|
This is the best game ever!!!!! |
| Mike from P.E.I,Canada says (30/Jul/2003): |

|
o.k game |
| Colin from Levittown, USA says (4/Sep/2003): |
it is a pretty good rpg, but it is no where near as good as the famous Final Fantasy VII(7), 7's graphics may not be as good, so i gotta addmit that Chrono Cross has it in the grapics, but FF7 deffinatly has thee best story line ever in RPG history.
|
I do admit this game beats FF9 |
| Klepto from Sacramento, USA says (7/Oct/2003): |
The first time I played this game was right after I played FF7 for the first time, so of course CC came no where close to being as good. I guess I underappreciated it. I just played it again a few weeks ago, and it was much better the second time. For one, you know what the heck is going on. And the fact the Serge never talks doesn't get on your nerves so much. Is it just me, or is Serge the lamest main character ever? I mean, he has no real personality, he wears those stupid poofy socks, and he wanders around with some annoying Australian girl who keeps saying "arse" all the time. I dunno. Just bugs me. It's a pretty good game though, but FF7 & 10 beat the crap out of it.
|
Chrono Cross is da bomb!!!!!! |
| Amber from USA says (28/Feb/2004): |
I love this game!!! it is by far the best game I have ever played!! I think the graphics are awesome and the story line is actually pretty good. The characters were pretty unique my favorite characters were Glenn, Norris, Karsh, and Nikki. Serge had no personality he never talked and let others do the talking for him but i think the rest of the game was great. FF7's gameplay was better but the graphics werent as good as the graphics in Chrono Cross but i would say It is still the best. I think People who say Chrono Cross isn't as good as Chrono Trigger are C-R-A-Z-Y!!!! This game is DA BOMB The originality was ok and the music was good and the Graphics were Great considering that this is a Playstation 1 game you have to admit that. No other game i have played for PS1 have come even close to the graphics or gameplay for Chrono Cross (except for Final Fantasy 8 but the gameplay was not good at all i dont think) By far Chrono Cross is one of the best Squaresoft games ever I give Chrono Cross The best rating because it is simply just an awesome game to play.

Oh My God I'm In Heaven!!!! |
| Samantha Benton from charlotte, n.c. U.S.A. says (20/Apr/2004): |

Another Great Masterpiece From Square |
| Adrienne from Indiana Usa says (23/Feb/2005): |
Is it just me or does Square have this incredible ability to make the best games? I have never played a game from Square and been dissappointed (unless you count FFT). After playing this game (and the whole FF series, plus KH) I understand why Square-Enix gets so much praise. And Chrono C. is just another among many that are work of grace and splender. And I'll tell you why I think Chrono C. deserves the title of "Greatest Hits". Let me warn now you that if you havn't played the first one and you skipped it like I did, you are going to be SO confused. It is impossible to understand the whole concept of the storyline unless you've played the first one or you had a friend, who played it, explain it you. So spare yourself the headache and play the first one, trust you'll be thankful you did. But anyway, the storyline in the game is confusing but still very good. And there are several different ending just like in the
first. A neat thing in the game, which kinda follows the line of the Suikoden series, is that you can have almost over 40 or 50 different memebers in your group unlike in the first one where you only had 5 memebers and one additional character. But because of that and here is the only thing that's really annoying about this game, is that it takes forever to find the character you want, equip weapons and armor on them, and change or equip their elements. But I have admit that it's fun to find all the additional characters and be able to have them at your disposel whenever you want use them. Another great thing in this game is the battle system. The battle system in this game has got to be one of my favorites ever!! I can understand though if eveyone had a different opinion because the battle system is not made for the typical or average RPG. In this game, magic is a thing of the past and instead you have to use elements in their place. So that might not appeal to eveyone. The music in the game was great and very catchy. I found myself humming some of the music through the game.:) The characters and their personilities were very detailed. I like that in games. Another great aspect in the game was that it wasn't completely linear, that you had options during the story. For example, before you get into Viper Manor you have to decide how and who you take there. Basically when you play the game over again you won't have to keep going the same way every time you play which I thought was cool. Another reason to play this game is for the sidequests. There were tons of sidequests in this game and some of them were quite challenging. Over all, I thought that the game deserved a ten. To me, I liked both first and second. They were both very VERY good games, so if you were a big fan of the first you'll probably like second. *Sigh* I just hope that Sqaure-Enix will make masterpieces like Chrono Cross!!:)

Chrono Cross: Possible Usurper to FF7? |
| Nik from Columbia,Missouri,USA says (6/Apr/2005): |
This game was extraordinary. For t hose of us who played Chrono Trigger way back when it first came out, you will find many similarities that will end up making you go "Hey...wasn't that...?" In addition, the story line is complex, but open-ended, allowing you to draw your own conclusions about things (Guile's identity, Why the masamune went evil, Etc, etc...)
Gameplay:
The gameplay was fantastic, with only a few points that were irritating (doors not opening save at funny angles, certain things blending into the background so as to actually detract from advancing the storyline...) But other than that it was spectacular. Finding extra characters, sidequests....Guaranteed to keep you entertained for a long...long...long....(Got lost in new game+)
Music:
The music is absolutely gorgeous in this game, and the only song I have ever found to counter Nobuou Utusemi's "One winged Angel"(Safer Sephiroth-Final fantasy 7) is the opening song before the start screen (Scars left by time).The music and FMV cut's went together really well.
Graphics:
Slightly glitchy and some points near the beginning, and once or twice during boss battles, but the FMV's were fantastic. The only graphical problem I had was mentioned above, with camoflauged doors and such.
Element system:
I tended not to like this at points, because it alwasys seemed to me that being able to use a specific element only once per battle hindered being able to fight certain bosses (though most of the bosses were not particularly difficult).However, having it this way incorporated a lot more strategy than basic hack+slash+magic games (what with the summons and field effects and all)
Star system:
Once more, the lack of leveling up irritated me. Basically, you can do the bare bones of the game without taking the time to level up. Example, in FF7 I could never beat the demon wall without at least an hour and a half of extra training. Well, since you ONLY level up after boss fights, almost anyone could beat this game...unless they were utterly retarded and ignored elements almost alltogether.
Overall...this game may be a threat to final fantasy 7's title of "ABSOLUTE GREATEST GAME EVER"...(My opinion on both points)

a classic psx rpg |
| A gamer from sac, california, usa says (17/Nov/2005): |
i know that not many people who have played the original chrono trigger cared much for this game, and i think that is only because of their preoccupation with the first game. chrono cross has a great multifaceted story and the most interesting character relations contrary to what some reviewers have said. the story does meet up with the chrono trigger story and while it is in an unconventional sense it is not as one poster described that you would need to take written notes. this is one of the classic rpgs of the psx and i hold it in reverance with ff7 as my favorite game. i place more emphasis on story than gameplay, but for those who wish to know of gameplay the battle system is unique. if you thoughtfully allocate your weaponry and elements before a battle the battle will be easy and the enemy will not use any attach which you could circumvent the effectiveness of to prevent you from getting too powerful, if on the other hand you don't effectively allocate your resources, the attacks will be relentless. there isn't a traditional level up system, but instead a new level is reached only by beating a boss. the game has a multitude of endings, and so many characters that replaying it with different characters in your party and at different places in the converging points of the story will delight you each time around. many of the characters are in some way significant to each other, and by going between the two worlds you can even create reunions between people believed to be dead and their loved ones, which plays out uniquely in every instance, or introduce a character to his/herself. the graphics are astounding for a psone title and the fmv sequences are some of the best square made on that console. the soundtrack is amongst my favourtes and the synthesizer is of much higher quality than the earlier equare games capturing the unique stylings of the music in comparison to other rpgs. pick up a copy if you haven't already, any rpg fan will be glad to have it in their collection.

.....wow O.O |
| game_gurl101 from Katy,USA says (6/Jul/2004): |
Chrono Cross is, fo course, the counterpart for the one and only Chrono Trigger. But I havent played far into Chrono Trigger yet, so Im not sure of the relationship. Anyway, Chrono Cross's graphics are awsome. I mean like, Oh my god is that guy freakin real or what!?!? kinda graphics. Okay, maybe not exactly THAT, but, close.
Basically in Chrono Cross you start off as a young boy named Serge. You have a supposed girlfriend and, like any other good girl, she is bossing you around and telling you to go collect her komodo dragon scales! So you trudge off and go collect these scales because you dont want to be beaten up by your girlfriend. She said she would meet you at the beach after you were done, so you head there afterwards and wait for her. Yall have a nice little chat and then suddenly ths huge ass wave starts coming towards you! Next thing you know, your lying on the beach, without your girlfriend. So you head back home alone, but things are geting a little strange. And when you get home, and are about to question your girlfriend, you find out something veeeeeeerrrrrrry intresting. You supposedly died some years ago. (Who could've seen this one comeing? Certainly not Serge.)
The music of this game was just, awsome....well, in my opion it was anyway. Okay, so some of it was a tad bit annoying at times, but some othert themes (like the Marbule theme) waas just plain awsome. I swear, i found myself dancing in my seat one time. >_<''' So embarrising.
Another reaslly cool thing about this game is, like Chrono Trigger, you can get multiple endings. And you can have different characters join you to affect gameplay. And one time, one of your team mates is drasticaly sick, and theres no cure...yet. You have the chance to either help this person, or just leave and countinue.
All in all, Chrono Cross is one of the very best games out there. And I highly suggest that you buy it and play it over and over and over and over and over! It is that good!

Great |
| Adoy from Nebraska, USA says (6/Jan/2004): |
This game was genius I like the characters mostly even though there we're 38,371,863,463 Some of them being kind of cool. Serge, Lynx, Radius, Karsh, Glenn. Then some we're just weird. Starkey, Pashel, What ever that skeleton clown's name is.
The game play was really nice. I had a lot more thinking to do comparing to a lot of others in the Squaresoft series where you just use really strong attacks then win. This you could only use things once you had to build up stuff. I loved this game.(especially when mega starkey ran at you yelling "give meeee star fragment" or pashel said "Where's lina think she thontaneouthly combuthed?".)
The story was confusing and I never really got it. Yet that parts I did get I thought were cool.

Fairly good |
| Arthur from Ontario, Canada says (29/Feb/2004): |
Chrono cross is a fairly good game... but in now way does it compare to chrono trigger or ff7!
Fine, the graphics are better. But the rest is worse. The storyline is so twisted it will make an empisode of "Law and Order" look like a straught path with bright arrows pointing out the right way. The number of charactors has to be a joke, since very few of them have any personality at all. As for the combat systom.....good, but a letdown from chrono trigger.
HOWEVER don't get me wrong, its STILL a good game, it just dosn't mesure up to FF7 or CT, thats all.

AWESOME!!! |
| brit from michigan, USA says (29/Dec/2002): |
i love this game sooooo much! it's one of the best i've ever played. i haven't beaten it yet, but i'm getting closer and closer to the end. the graphics are great, and the music fits the mood perfectly. the characters are unforgetable. the battles and different quests build up the tension. once you finish something and think you're done, it gets even better. it's hard, not an "that was easy, i'm done" type of game. i haven't played chrono trigger yet, but that's because i haven't seen it anywhere. the character's personalities are great! kid's the sassy but cool type, serge is the quiet type, nikki's the rock on type...etc... this is one game i'll never forget.
|
A very good rpg. |
| Caleb Rees says (4/Jan/2003): |
When i first played this game and didnt get very far i only liked it a little bit but now that i got further and beat the game its actually a great game.The characters are good and the story line suits it.Not very many CG cimemas in this game though.It has a good amount of playing time for what kind of game it is.All in all this is a worthy sequal to Chrono Trigger.
|
Can't stop playing |
| Anna from Manchester, USA says (26/Apr/2003): |
I've finished Chrono Cross three times already and I'm still not bored with it. The character designs, the game play, and the plot never seem to get old to me. Though I thought some of the diologe was kinda corny I still think CC is an awsome continuum to Chrono Trigger. The endings I have seen hold up compared to the others from CT! overall CC is one of the best RPG's I've ever played.
