Editorial Review:
Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classicChrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait. Taking off20 years after the first game, Chrono Cross follows a boy namedSerge across parallel worlds--both the world in which he lives and onein which he drowned 10 years earlier.
Chrono Cross will wow players with beautiful prerendered graphicsand a unique battle system. Elements replace magic and items in battle,and using the same element three times in a row will ultimately increaseyour power. In addition to using elements, the accuracy of physicalattacks is determined by probability, with easier-to-land weak attackssetting up fierce blows.
The plot, while a bit slow to develop, is full of interestingcharacters. Players will need to travel between the two worlds toadvance the plot. While many of these areas will initially appear tolook similar, you'll find them to be quite different upon closerexamination of the details. For instance, a plant that is extinct in oneworld thrives in the other.
My only qualm with Chrono Cross is that, despite the complexitiesof the battle system, veterans will have an easy time with earlybattles. Still, there's much to like about this SquareSoft epic.--Robb Guido

- Bring back memories but its picky about what system its played on.
One of the main reasons i bought this game is because I want to have it before it is sold out everywhere so i can still play this game but the only draw back to this great game is its combat and skill/magic system which could of been improved on but other then that its a great game.
PS: ITS UNPLAYABLE ON PS3 SO YOU NEED A PS2 TO PLAY IT !!!
Rating: - Another Heads Up For PS3 Owners
Well,PS3 owners,add this title to a seemingly 'SquareSoft only PS1 games that don't work on your PS3' Because this one don't work, When you get to the Viper Manor that's when things go downhill,The game freezes when you try to use elements at random at the flying boss,You can get by it by not using elements,but at a certain boss you HAVE to use elements,and it freezes up....Damn shame,It seem all Squares PS1 games have problems on the PS3,Sony has let the success of the PS1 and PS2 go to there head,because ...

Rating: - Chrono Cross: A Brief Review
Chrono Cross is fairly standard as RPGs go, but what sets it apart as far as gameplay is the elements system. Instead of straight-up 'magic', players gather "elements" which are categorized into six different color groups, each with a counterpart to which it has both stronger and weaker properties- Red and Blue, Yellow and Green, Black and White. This introduces a good level of strategy into the game as players must consider what their opponent is weaker or stronger to.
As stated, the game is fairly ... Read More

- Awesome Sequel and Awesome Game
Whether you are new to the 'Chrono' franchise or returning after playing Chrono Trigger, this game is a great place to go.
Negatives:
-The severe limit on character growth/level-ups makes a lot of battles feel dull and useless; it's not that the system isn't fun, but the imposing limit on status progression cuts the fun down.
-There's a grand total of about one really annoying dungeon/area in this game... Just thought I'd mention it...
-On the sequel note, although I wouldn't ... Read More
