The best game ever!
User Rating: 10 | Chrono Cross (PSOne Books) PS
Many people have played Chrono Trigger. And they loved the game. It is known as one of the best RPGs ever. When fans of this game heard Chrono Cross was coming out, they eagerly waited it's release. But Chrono Cross isn't a direct sequel of Chrono Trigger. It is a different game, with a different story and premise. Even so, Chrono Cross manages to hold it's own, wether or not you played Chrono Trigger. The story in this game is amazing. You are a boy named Serge. Everything is going fine, until he finds out that he has died. He mysteriously appears in a new world, where he finds a tombstone that says he died 10 years ago. A girl named Kid joins him on his journey to find the Frozen Flame, which controls time. Serge must go from world to world to find this with the help of Kid and many other allies he meets along the way. But a cat man named Lynx is in there way, trying to find the Frozen Flame himself. The story in this game is better than any other in a game in my opinion. The gameplay in this game is very simple, and doesn't take long to get used to. It's your basic turn-based RPG style fighting, but has some real time elements. You have a bar with seven spaces. The more momentum you gain in a fight, and the more good attcks you get off, the more the bar gets filled. The attacks take away some stamina points. There are weak, medium, and strong attacks. The stronger the attack, the more stamina points are taken. There are also special moves that each character has. And you can avoid fights easily. You see all your enemies on the screen, so you can go around an enemy if you don't want to engage in combat. This lets you decide when you may want to train and improve your skills, which is great. Also, after every battle you have the option of healing yourself automatically with the items you have. Also you can escape a battle any time you want, so if you're doing bad in a fight, and you need to regroup and regain your health, you can escape the battle. This makes the game much easier. Throughout the game you will meet many characters, each with their own story. You can play as each of these characters. You can get many people to join you throughout the game. There's probably about 30 to 40 people you can have join your party. At the time, the graphics of this game were gorgeous. All the different enviorments looked lifelike. The characters all looked great, all with their different and unique appearances. The different enemies all looks great. And the combat looks very fluid. Today it still looks great. The music in this game is some of the best ever. It has some of the best music in any game ever. Probably the only game's music that is better is the Final Fantasy series. The music in this game will be remembered. You will be thinking of the great tunes and melodies in your head for years to come. The music in this game is astounding. Overall, Chrono Cross is my favorite game of all time, and I've played my fair share of games. Even if this game did come out in 2000, you would still be amazed by the game today. Everything about the game is perfect. You will probably find no problems with the it. Every aspect of the game is pefect. This is the pefect game for all RPG lovers, and is a masterpiece. It is a must have for all people that like RPGs.
