"I remember playing this game on my SNES and now they have it for DS wow I am so thrilled! This was the best game. I remember staying up all hours and playing it for 8 hours a day for days at a time. I just couldn't put it down. Once I beat it I had to do it again. I highly recommend this game!"

What's great about it: Everything What's not so great: Nothing that I can think of
"I remember when I was first getting into video games and this is one of the first games I picked up. And still 13 years later (the game was released in 1995) it is still amazing. The story line is great, the game play is awesome. Simply putting this game was before its time, I mean 13 different ends for a super nintendo game. If you loved it back than, you'll love it now.."

What's great about it: Enaging story line and wonderful characters. What's not so great: The new map screen is a little odd..
"Chrono Trigger first hit store shelves in 1995 as a classic, 2d RPG for the Super Nintendo. Since then, the game has amassed a following of old school gamers and new gamers alike.
The game play hasn't changed much in thirteen years, but there are a few new additions. New dungeons and a battle arena will keep those who are playing for the 100th time busy, while the plot and characters alone should appeal to the younger crowd. The game can be played in either DS Mode, where you use the touch screen for the menu, or Classic Mode, to eliminate the touch ability altogether. The game also sports the Playstation animated sequences and the same wonderful music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, Nobuo Uematsu & Noriko Matsueda.
Chrono Trigger is most often viewed as the best game of all time, aside from Final Fantasy VII. To those playing for the first time, you will see why. Enjoy!"

What's great about it: Amazing game, fun music, great character development What's not so great: Minor changes
"This game is probably my favorite SNES game, not just SNES RPG, of all time. The music, particularly the battle music, hooked me from the start when I discovered this gem amongst my dad's collection of SNES games in our basement two years ago. Yasunori Mitsuda, a famed video game music composer, is credited with most songs, while Nobuo Uematsu, the mastermind behind the music of the Final Fantasy series up through the tenth installment, created ten of the tunes. One of those, the first boss battle music (first heard against Yakra) is an arrangement of a song composed by Noriko Matsueda...but I digress. The soundtrack ranges from epic to tragic, and its influences range from jazz to ethnic Indian. In any case, the character development is extraordinary, with everyone's backstory revealed to varying degrees, often dependent on your involvement in sidequests. Techs (short for Techniques, as you may have guessed) are based off of either a character's elemental affinity (assuming he or she has one) or his or her physical characteristics and personality (a couple of girls use their looks to their advantage in battle, for example), and they can be combined with the unique moves of other characters to create even more distinct moves. In addition, some are topographically based; the enemies they target will depend on the placement of the enemies, making battles even more strategic. Some Final Fantasy gamers (particularly VII, VIII, and IX that I know of, since I haven't played others) will be familiar with the Active Time Battle system, which utilizes a bar that empties after a character's turn and refills based on his or her speed proficiency. The added Arena allows you to raise and train a monster of your own, which can compete on just your game or against other gamers wirelessly. My only qualm is that dialogue has been slightly changed (in a few places, not too many) from the original. While it may be more true to the original (I had heard that Ted Woolsey's original translation was good, but not as true as it could have been), it removed quotes familiar to old-school Chrono Trigger gamers and even a couple of allusions. But other than that, the game is awesome and definitely recommended to those of you who have never played it...and even those who have, for the sake of reminiscence and new material."

My Favorite Game of All Time!
11/23/2008
By Scotcho85from Carlsbad, CA
What's great about it: The in-depth story line, awesome soundtrack, amazing battle system What's not so great: That the only re-release was on Playstation (game took forever to load on CD!)
"This game is not for small time gamers! It is very LONG and strategic, 50+ hours of game play to beat it. Best story line for a video game by far, each character has a story and needs help solving some sort of issue. Traveling through time and changing history requires that you go back and forth until things are set the way that they should be, but beware, some of the choices that are made can change the future for the worst! GET THE GAME and love it!"

What's great about it: Everything What's not so great: That it took this long to make it on the DS
"Since this game has yet to arrive on the DS, I will base it off the SNES version which is supposedly almost exactly the same. One of my top games. This game was fun and massive. You have a wide variety of characters to play with, and they each come with their own special moves not only for each other, but with whomever you're battling with as well. The animation is great, especially for when this game was made. The story is long and elaborate with one of the most frustrating bosses you can fight. However the characters are cool, and who you use to fight the boss gives you different endings, so you'll want to finish this more than once. With the DS version, there are supposed to be a few more dungeons to play on to make this game that much longer. I am looking forward to this game, and you should too. One of the best RPG games I've ever played."
