Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Without a doubt the best video game ever made
This game is unbelieveably good. I really cant stress ehough how wonderful this game is. For its time it was Fantastic, and compared to the RPG's of today it is still right toward the top. The compelling story line, the wonderful characters and the music...the music in this game is so rich that you can really listen to the songs over and over and not get sick of them. The gameplay is fantastic. I cant stress enough how wonderful a game this really is. If you have a PS, PS2 or were smart enough to hang on to your SNES it is absolutly worth the price. This game will leave you wanting to play it again and again.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Overhyped? NOPE...
For a game with so many five star reviews one might think it is overrated, but if you haven't played it , get that thought out of your head immediatly! I'll tell you why this game is one of the greatest games games ever made...

Graphics-10/10 graphically, this game is amazing. I've seen games for playstation that have worse graphics than this. The characters and backrounds are extremely detailed in lush color. Some SNES games have a tendency to have rather boring colored backrounds, but not this game. Also, the techniques used during battle look great. There isn't much else to say other than amazing.

Music-10/10 WOW...the music is nothing short of miraculous. This game has got to have some of the best music I have ever heard in any video game, especially in the Zeal section. The music is close to the calibur of Super Metroid, which in my opinion has the greatest music for a video game. It is at the same calibur as Final Fantasy 6, tactics, 8,7 and besides those it may be the greatest soundtrack for a RPG ever made. I might think this game has THE greatest soundtrack ever made, but to be honest I didn't actually play this game till 2 and a half or so years ago, so I didn't have any memories of the game tied in with the music, and games I played when I was a kid seem to touch me in a stronger way. No complaints what so ever here.

Storyline- 10/10 The idea that things done in a different time period effects the future is not only brilliant, but it is revolutionary. You will really start to feel for the characters here, and the stroyline will grip you into the game.

Entertainment/gameplay- 20/10 Yep, 20/10, there are so many side quests to accomplish here, and every one of them is fantastic. You never know what you might unlock if you do something in a different time period. This game is pretty short, only maybe 20 hours the first time through, but if you go through and level up your characters to the max and complete all the sidequests, your looking at easily 40 hours.

Overall- 100/10. Yep, you read it right. 10/10 isn't enough for this gem, so I upgraded it to 100/10. Like I said earlier, I didn't first play this game until 2 and a half years ago, and I still loved it, prooving how great this game is. If you are into old- school RPGs then you will probably already have this game, but anyone else will love it too. I think it is innovative and up-to-date enough to satisfy even PS2 fans.
....Just get it if you can find it...!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorite RPGs ever!
Chrono Trigger, released in 1995 by Squaresoft for the long-obsolete (but never forgotten) SNES, is one of the greatest RPGs ever to be assembled. There are a series of pros, and only very few cons.

The pros:
-For 16 bits, the soundtrack is teriffic.
-Same story with the graphics and sound effects.
-The battle system is one of the best Square ever came up with.
-The originality rate of this game is very high as well.

Ultimately, the only con is that parts of the game are a wee bit too easy for some tastes. However, in spite of this fact, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who:
A. Owns an SNES.
B. Is into RPGs.
C. Wants something that will truly mean something in the years to come (it's ten years old now.)

Buy it if you are a fan of other Squaresoft role-players, such as the massive 'Final Fantasy' series, the somewhat more obscure 'Mana' series, and also, 'Chrono Cross,' which is somewhat of a followup to this, though none of the characters from this are present, it's still excellent. This may be rare and expensive, but it still comes highly recommended.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I haven't seen a better RPG story since...
This was my first RPG and to this day it remains my favorite RPG. By today's standereds in new updated graphics and more open gameplay oppertunities, it might be a little out of place because of it's age, but don't let any of that fool you. This game was a masterpeice for it's time with many revolutionary ideas that, to this day, have not been able to have been outdone to this day.
I've played videogames all my life. The RPG genre is still my favorite and I've played more of these games then many people have. Still, I am surprized by the fact that, when dealing with characters and inspiring story, everything else hasn't come close to the brillence placed in Chrono Trigger. Final Fantasy 7 is the only other RPG that I can say came close.
The summery of this game is this: Three farly normal teenagers living in a peaceful age of invention, get thrown by sheer bad luck (and a faulty machine at a fair) back in time. At first, the immediate goal is just to meet up and go back to their own time, but after a number of hilarious and unfortunate events, they find out that (after another set of events) that the future of their planet is doomed. Being rebelious teens, the three attempt to find and prevent events that lead up to the world's eventual distruction. However the more they learn, the more trouble they get into. They are aided later on by some past and future heros with equally bad luck, but just the same, it's mostly about an adventure through time by a small group of highly unlikely heroes who generally don't have a clue as to what they are getting into.
As for gameplay, being a beging step in the evolution leading to the super RPGs of today, it's nothing too unique. You buy stronger weapons and armor and each character has magic (techs)specializing in one elemental. However, the real kick is in however the characters can tag team on special techs. There are three characters in a party at a time (for a good reason) and if a group of characters fight together longer they can eventually pull off some REALLY sweet (and in some cases funny) looking double techs or even triple techs. Why the RPGs of today don't try to mimic the brillence of the triple tech idea today, I don't know. It worked wonders for Chrono Trigger.
