Chrono Trigger is a game about a young boy's accidental time-traveling whirlwind adventure. He and his friends will travel through the ages, even to the end of time itself, in order to prevent the end of all things. Almost everything in the SNES original (what did they do to Frog's dialogue???) is present, while two new dungeons introduced in the DS port (The Dimensional Vortex and The Lost Sanctum) have also been included. And, of course, there's a new set of touch controls.
Chrono Trigger is pretty much a direct port, so almost everything the original fans loved is still here (why Frog? Whyyyyyyy?????). Each character, location, twist, turn and "tech" is accounted for. But this is considered one of the best RPGs ever for a reason, and it still holds up incredibly well over fifteen years on. Someone who's never experienced the original adventure us just as apt to get swept up in it as they would have been back in 1995. Which makes what I'm about to say next fairly depressing.
Even so, this is still a classic and still a fantastic game that needs to be played by any and all RPG lovers. The controls can be very, very irritating at times but the core experience, characters and storyline have weathered the storm of porting and still provide as much enjoyment as they ever had. I'm still kind of cheesed-off by the butchering of Frog's script, though.
