“Sadly, as much as I like the Calamity Trigger, I can't reccomend the PC version, as it lacks feature like online play (if you could be intrested in the online features of a 2008 kusoge), which its still present on PS3, and it runs…”

“Best to get the game on PS3 or Xbox 360. Continuum Shift Extend is a remake of this game. 1. There's no music during visual novel scenes. 2. The frame-rate will continuously drop until you Restart your computer.”
