Chrono Trigger Retro Review

Chances are if you are reading this review you fall into two categories – Someone who has played the game, loved it, and want to see another person’s spin on it; or, you haven’t played it and are curious as to what the hype is all about. Rest assured that Chrono Trigger falls comfortably into the handful of games that can be described as pure perfection. Whether you have managed to find an original copy for the Super Nintendo, or have picked up the DS version, you will not be disappointed by what is seen by most as the best Japanese style RPG to ever grace a video game system.

Best RPG ever...

[Oldsnake007]

[gameguru]

[lifesanrpg]

I love this game! Glad it's back!

[TheStonedSheep]

Really, 10/10? I guess . . .

[Crystallis]

This is Chrono Trigger dude. It considered one of he best if not the best RPG's ever made. Anything less then a 10 would be an insult to the game.

[Clance]

WOW a 10/10?? amazing, must try this out...

[Peaceful_Jelly]

If you like RPG and you haven't played Chrono Trigger... I don't even know what to say really. Even most western RPG Devs quote Chrono Trigger as their main inspiration in the creation of their own games. 0_0

[Peaceful_Jelly]

The only bad thing about this game is that it's too short and even though it has like 20 endings only 2 are worth mentioning. The one were Chrono speaks and the good ending that everybody gets when u first beat the game from start to finish. =(

[gillri]

Huh why havent you guys played this game aleady!? its considered the best RPG ever by alot of publications

@Peaceful_Jelly

the 25/30 hour length make it the game it is IMO, its like a perfect replayale masterpiece

and doesnt have the grinding or long winded narrative of FFVI

the OST and character design are IMO the best ever in an RPG

[Nawabi]

if there was ever a game that deserved a 10... it's this game

[despair]

hmm..score seems low if you ask me...favorite RPG ever easily.

[Der_Kommandant]

That score is too low

[KillerPwned]

This is one of the best RPG`s i have ever played and anyone can play it. It is not to hard it is just right, this is really a true example of a perfected RPG.

This is one of the few games i could buy on various consoles and play over and over.

[LightofDarkness]

This is a definite number one in my book, THE greatest JRPG ever. A VERY close second goes to Xenogears, with Chrono Cross coming third IMO. Then it's FFVI and FFIV for me.

Anyone who's played it, how does the Witcher stack up in the grand scheme of RPGs, as compared to the classics like these? I won't be able to game on my PC for a few more weeks and I'm dying to know.

[Crystallis]

I would put suidoken 2 as my second favorite of all time.

The Internet's 23049485092th Chrono Trigger review. Thanks.

[Louis_Guzman]

Best RPG ever.

[Tex117]

Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPG's ever made.

[sirgames]

wow! although I haven't heard of this game before..it looks pretty cool! xD

[sirlemsip]

Thanks for the comments...

Honestly this is the game that really got me hooked into gaming. The amount of hours i have put into this game on SNES, PS1 and now DS is simply massive.

As I said in the review, if you haven't played it and you like RPGs even the slightest amount you simply must give it a try.
