Chrono TriggerA classic RPG returns. How does Chrono Trigger hold up on the Nintendo DS? Gus Mastrapa looks at the game's time-bending charm and convention.

I picked this up for the Mrs recently. We're both Chrono Trigger fans but I can't go back and play games again. Bugs me. She likes it though.

I'm curious. What bugged you about it? I found this (my third or fourth play by now) still fairly fun. I liked watching the story unravel and the fights are as engaging as old-school, turn-based fights tend to get.

Not to be pedantic, but the Square-Enix Tax usually refers to the fact that they sell their portable games at a $5 markup over every other portable game. In this case $39.99 instead of the more standard $34.99 or $29.99 for a first-run DS title.

Oh, the game doesn't bug me, the fact that I can't really play it bugs me. I've wanted to go back and play so many games and I've found that I just can't due to one factor or another.

Thanks again, Gus. IYKWIMAITYD
I was flying through this game until Magus overwhelmed me - utterly. That wasn't a complaint. I enjoyed the 'schooling'. The complaint I do have is only from the DS adaptation. Those icons (see screenshot above) are terrible. When using icons less is more. At some point they stop being easily understood and become ugly buttons that make me neglect the stylus all together.

Thanks for that Dave. I've always consider SE fans taxed from every angle, so I guess it works on multiple fronts.
W1ndstorm, I found myself playing DS mode, but still using the d-pad for my selections. I can see people new to RPGs, especially those now weaned on the DS and stylus gaming really taking a liking to that method. Even if the buttons are honking big and ugly.
Jason, my advice this year is to play at least one of the following DQ IV, FFIV or Chrono Trigger. They're good for yo
