- All-Reviews - "With more than 40 characters, Chrono Cross is truly epic in scope. Each character has a unique personality, and in that respect, the game certainly continues the legacy of the original, charming classic. While the premise of the game is not terribly interesting, its execution will convince you to go along with it, as the game is filled with fascinating plot twists that affect the characters in a tangible way. Chrono Cross is clearly the best PlayStation game of the year." Review by Darvan with score.

- Chrono Cross - "Graphics are much similar to the eighth Final Fantasy, if not better. Like the first part, enemies can be seen so no random battles. However, there is a battle screen, so the game uses a whole different evironment for battles, which I don't like as much." Review with screen shots.

- Game Revolution - "With a beautiful story, characters that are actually interesting and a fighting system that's more than your typical "attack, attack, defend, blah" devoid of true strategy, this game is the one I had been waiting for." Review by Johnny Liu with score.

- GameCritics - Reviewed by: Dale Weir and Matt Weise. "Chrono Cross is definitely a worthy sequel to Chrono Trigger, in narrative (to a point) but more so in gameplay and general concept. Those looking for some real substance and an imaginative application of ideas into skillfully designed gameplay should definitely check this out. Don't let its looks fool you. It isn't just another Final Fantasy. It's the cure for the common Square game." Also contains screen shots, artwork, and message board. [Registration required]

- The Adrenaline Vault - "If God truly is in the details, then Chrono Cross is suffused with holy light and surrounded by angelic hosts. It builds upon solid foundations, but adds its own unique elements that make the story, combat and gameplay that much more thoughtful, tactically interesting and utterly entertaining. Yet -- and this is truly a sign of great design -- Chrono Cross avoids becoming mired down in its own intricacies, providing a simple interface around a complex and detailed system. Top all of this design genius off with brilliant graphics and wonderful sound and music pumped out in Dolby surround sound, and you have a completely enthralling gaming experience that raises the bar for all RPGs to follow." Review by Mike Laidlaw with score.
