This is a very interesting game. It was one of the first games to utilise time travel.  It starts off in a sleepy village.  You are woken up by your mother and reminded that your geeky girlfriend has invited you to a carnival, where she is unveiling her latest invention.  So off you go and whilst there you bump into a stupid women which you have no choice.  It is an integral part of the story.  After finding this pendant that is about four yards away from the moron, you give her back her pendant and she asks if she can hang out with you.  You don’t have a choice and she then follows you like a lost dog.  Eventually you find you geeky girlfriend and the show starts after going to every event, even if you don’t really want to.  She tells ever one that she has invented a matter transporter and demonstrates it by putting a man in one booth and sends him to the other.

The women who is hanging around you asks her to transport her between the two booth but this time something goes wrong, (Like we didn’t see that one coming).  She is sucked into this weird blue portal and disappears.  Geeky bird that for our purposes I called Brenda tells you that we, (What do you mean we.  You’re the one who screwed up, not me.)  have to go and find out where she’s gone and return her from whence she has gone.  By the way we is you.  So you jump through the machine and after a drug induced trippy  journey, you appear at the top of a mountain and the is the start of the time travel epic that is Chrono Trigger.

You first go to 65,000,000 BC, at first but eventually go to different time periods. It can get confusing.  Later on in the game you might have to speak to a women in one time period and time have to go back to a previous time zone and get what ever it is that you need and go back with it to continue the game.  In this game four dimensional gaming is more than a Sony gimmick. 

This game is about seven to eight years old but if you look past the graphics, is in fact a really fun game to play if a little confusing.  I think this was the last Super NES game made by Squaresoft.  Don’t let that fool you, this is a masterpiece and is probably the only game that uses time travel successfully.  There are many funny little jokes thrown in.  If you are of a religious nature, don’t take this seriously it’s only a game.

As for replay value, I don’t think I would replay this that often.  It’s long and confusing.  I think it has a couple of different endings, don’t quote me though.
