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 Pros: - Lavish, vibrantly colored graphics
- Unique battle system involving elements and casting away role-playing clichés like experience and magic points
Cons: - Easy battles due to powerful offensive and cure elements
- For hours, players will be saying, "Get to the time travel stuff"

NEED to play chrono trigger first July 18, 2010

If you haven't beaten Chrono Trigger, OR haven't gotten to the VERY end of this game, this game's rating is probably a 2.5 out of 5. If you HAVE beaten Chrono Trigger, and HAVE gotten all the way to the end of this game, then the rating is a 5 out of 5, pure and simple.
The graphics are pretty good, the soundtrack is maybe the best in game history (see Xenogears), but the characters and story range from awful to mediocre. If not for the context of Chrono Trigger, this is at BEST a mediocre RPG (and for typical Square fans, probably pretty below average). But again, the fact that Chrono Trigger exists makes this game, depending on your progress through it, jump to be being near perfect.
CHRONO CROSS!! Need i say more. July 12, 2010

I LOVE THIS GAME. How can i emphasis this even more. i own two copies of the game, long story. This came out in the year 2000 as the PS2 hit shelves. It is the sequel to Chrono Trigger, which i never played, but will. Chrono Cross has a great storyline, memorable characters with different accents and personalities, very high replay value, great graphics, excellent music and you get to fight against FATE and dragons. Need i say more. There are some bad things like i find myself hating 30 of the 40 characters and Lynx, is one of them. Square seemed to hate the black elements as two of them are chance instant death, which works rarely. You will love Serge especially at the end of the first disc because the white elements are just powerful and devastating to enemies.
Overall the game should be placed on everyone's top ten list right beside Xenosaga Episode 1 and Super Mario World. The game is unique and entertaining, if you have Chrono Trigger, then it is a must buy, if you never heard of it, then it is a must buy, this got me into RPGs. So, thank you Squaresoft (Square-Enix).
 Classic RPG with unique combat system July 8, 2010
Bill
Crono Cross has to this day a combat system that is incredibly unique, which makes it a great play for any RPG fans out there. The story line and playable characters can change in multiple points of the game, depending on the player's decisions, which give it great replay value. The only thing missing is character customization, but it is only a small draw back in comparison to the rich story and overall greatness of the game.
