    If you've never played Chrono Trigger, you owe it to yourself to finally give this gaming touchstone a whirl. And if you have played it before, you can play it again, for no other reason than to see how new it all still feels. We would normally hesitate to give any rerelease such a high score, but this is the ultimate edition of a true classic. Read more

    Either way, with non-problematic graphics, a tight and strategic battle system, an extremely entertaining story, and what is probably the most impressive soundtrack in video game history, Chrono Trigger has not only stood the test of time, but it is probably still better than any RPG released in the last five years. It is definitely the most engaging RPG experience you’ll find on the DS  and will continue to be played and praised. Read more

    There are several must have video games in every gamers’ library and Chrono Trigger is definitely among them. The Nintendo DS version takes this classic role playing game and improves the control interface as well as providing new content. Even, if you are not a fan of the Role Playing games, you should give Chrono Trigger a chance. Who knows it may convert them to a fan of the genre. Read more

  4. Chrono Trigger (DS)

    Simple chronic halitosis is a real disease. Some people call it the Square Enix tax. It's the price that role-playing fans pay when the venerable Japanese game-maker re-releases its classics. And, man, do they crank them out: Already this year we've seen new versions of Final Fantasy IV and Dragon Quest IV for the Nintendo DS. Chrono Trigger completes the trifecta of old-school RPG gems for the popular handheld. Originally released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo... Read more

    Chrono Trigger has long been revered as one of Squaresoft’s (now Square Enix) most epic RPGs that graced the SNES system. The game was produced by the “Dream Team” with credits given to Hironobu Sakaguchi, Masato Kato, Akira Toriyama and Yasunori Mitsuda. Shortly after a mediocre PSX port, Final Fantasy Chronicles, fell short of its mark with its dreadful loading and slowdown issues, no announcements were made for any potential re-releases. After a long seven year... Read more

  1. Review – Chrono Trigger

    Reviewer: chris, videolamer

    The endless paradoxes that make no sense are where Chrono Cross comes in. Thankfully CT ignores the majority of them, and is a much more approachable game for it. Unfortunately I played it mere weeks before the announcement of this remake, so I don’t have the urge yet. I know I will, though, so I’ll be buying it before long. Read more

    I gotten Chrono trigger after a freind of mine hinting at how cool the game is. After trying it out I thought, this is how games were huh? Back to the point though, Chrono Trigger is an excellent game and since I have played the original on the SNES I was amazed at how the look and gameplay has changed. One thing I noticed in comparison to the original is that they changed some of the things that you fights name. It is a great game and I would recomend it to any RPG fans... Read more

    Great game! I am someone old enough to remember the Chrono Trigger for the SNES and I even played it not too long ago. It's a truly awesome RPS with a great storyline, good graphics, and spot-on music. Overall, I was very glad to see that the DS version stayed loyal to the greatness of the SNES version. Now a whole new generation of fans can enjoy Chrono Trigger in all its glory. One of the biggest pros of Chrono Trigger clearly is the storyline. It has plot twists and... Read more
