And the soundtrack on Chrono Trigger is the best ever. I listen to it (and remixes) frequently... I just got this for DS, and half of the reason I'm playing it is for the music.

I suppose if you hadn't played the SNES version, you couldn't necessarily judge, but I'd be interested to hear what the differences are between the old console version, and the DS version, if there are any.

I haven't played too far into the new one yet, so I can't give a complete comparison. But there are reviews out there...

Basically the entire game is the same, but they added dual-screen action. So you can control combat on one screen, and watch the combat on the other. Stuff like that. I need to keep playing it.

and wikipedia says:

The DS re-release contains all of the bonus material from the PlayStation port as well as other enhancements. The added features include a more accurate translation by Tom Slattery, a dual-screen mode which clears the top screen of all menus, a self-completing map screen, and a default "run" option. Masato Kato participated in development, overseeing the addition of the monster-battling Arena and two new areas, the Lost Sanctum and the Dimensional Vortex. One of the areas within the Vortex uses the "Singing Mountain" song that was featured on the original Chrono Trigger soundtrack. These new dungeons met with mixed reviews; GameSpot called them "frustrating" and "repetitive," while IGN noted that "the extra quests in the game connect extremely well."

so I guess there's some extra levels.

Yeah, what he said. The biggest change though is that you can control EVERYTHING via stylus and it actually works pretty well. Being able to tap icons during combat to unleash attacks allows you to fight stuff off much quicker once you've learned where all the combo techs are.

Two thumbs up, fun for the whole family.

Chrono Trigger was totally rad. If you don't have a DS, you should at least download a rom of it. Really good classic gaming.

Please wait...
