"Crono Trigger" is the most praised RPG in video games history. It leads the Top-50 lists from American specialized magazines. It's breaking all retails and rental records. In short, it is mind-blowing gamers around the world.
This the story: Crono, the hero, goes back in time to hunt Lavos, a villain who plans to kill every terrestrial life form. His mission is to prevent the douche-bag from fulfilling his plan.
Our hero is not alone on this adventure. He's aided by an inventor, a frog (?!), a neanderthal woman, a little robot and a princess.
The game features nothing less than ten different endings. Developed by Square, the same company that developed "Final fantasy" and "Secret of Mana" - two spine-tingling RPGs - "Crono Trigger" mixes fast paced action and dialogs. The level of detail is startling: you're gonna hear even the sounds of the animals in the forest.
Jokes are a good addition too: almost every dialog has a bit of humor. Finally, pay attention on special effects: they are blockbusters. You cannot let "Crono trigger" pass you by. Play it using a bib.
