CHRONO CROSS
| Description | A sequel to Chrono Trigger in which Serge and his friends cross to an alternate dimension. It features 44 playable characters and has a new battle system in which waits are eliminated and characters attack multiple times. It also has a new leveling-up system that eliminates experience points. |
| Plot 8/10 | It has a full plot with plenty of twists and turns, but it takes long, boring explanations to get through. |
| Characters 9/10 | Naturally, with a great quantity of characters, development takes a back seat. There is a huge variety of different types of fighters and personalities, so nobody has to worry about the fact that some characters are somewhat boring and others are very weird. Also, the main characters are well developed. |
| Fun Factor 10/10 | Running around with silly characters, a fun battle system, and being able to talk to yourself by crossing dimensions? Fun! |
| Gameplay 6/10 | In my opinion, the new battle system is a complete success! However, the experience-free system forces your characters to advance at a certain rate which fixes the difficulty level. |
| Replayability 10/10 | You have to play the game at least three times through to get all 44 characters (and probably at least that many to have played with each one for a significant amount of time). Additionally, there are many endings for you to find. And don't forget about all those secrets! |
| Graphics 9/10 | Not a disappointment at all! The gameplay graphics aren't bad, and there are stunning CG sequences as well! |
| Music 10/10 | Chrono Cross has excellent music. It's good enough for me to listen to it the way I listen to rock music right now. I'm listening to the opening as I write this. |
| Sex Object Factor 10/10 | Come on, there are 44 characters. It's pretty hard to not find one of them not even remotely attractive. The female scene is better than the male scene, since about five of the girls were specifically made to be sexy. |
| Cutesy Factor 20/10 (Not a typo) | Starky, Razzly, NeoFio, Turnip, Draggy, Poshul, Leah, and Pip! Oh, and those are just my eight favorites. ^_^ |
