Great Game

Golden Sun is probably the best game I've ever played. I love RPG's and this one is right on track. The story is great, and the graphics and sounds are spectacular -especially for a GBA- What I love most is the fact that you have to use logic all throughout the game. This game made me think!!! Overall, it's a great game.

Golden Sun

Golden Sun has been the best game I ever played for the Gameboy Advance. I thought that this game was the best game graphically also. So I will review it for those of you that aren't sure. It's like being gay, your either born a Golden Sun fan or you're not. So I guess that every gamer out there is gay. (Not Me Though) In Golden Sun you get to control the three people known as:Mia, Ivan,and Garet. You get these characters in order of Ivan and Garet then Mia. These characters all have their own unique abilities:Ivan-Earth, Garet-Fire, and Mia-Ice. These abilities can help you in battle tremendously. In this game you also can get Djinn which if put in different groups can cause your character to become a different class. Djinn are elemental and if you want your character to stay the same element you must keep the same elemental Djinn with them. If the same elemental Djinn are added together it will give the character new moves. In conclusion I only gave this game a 4.75 because of the level of insanity in finding the Djinn. The monsters in the game gave lots of experience so when fighting you leveled up like it was nothing. The bosses were one of the hardest things in the game but when you fought them you could pretty easily dismantle them because you could tell from one attack what would hurt and what wouldn't. This is the second best RPG for the Gameboy in my personal opinion. You better get this game before time is up. The game is running out.

I got this game because I heard how good it was, but I honestly didnt think it would be that good. Was I in for a suprise..First of all the graphics are AMAZING!especially the battle scences with the summoning attacks.The sound is magnificant, it even tops Castlevania COTM for best GBA Sound,the conrols are perfect and the gameplay is, well, gloden, with a deep, inviolving storyline and hard,yet fun puzzles. RPG fans this is the game for u, anyone with a GBA,go get this game

An amazing RPG that rivals some of today's best

I was amazed when I first started playing this game Golden Sun rivals some of today's 3D console RPGS even though it plays old-school. Golden Sun is far from being the most innovative game in its genre but its the amount of polish, great gameplay, and longevity that make it such a strong contender. Anyone who has played any SNES RPG should know what to expect here but they key is that developer Camelot did so much to make such an older style RPG so completely relevant is what really shocked me. Gameplay is typical tun-based combat but the graphics look spectacular for a GBA title and they help bring the battles to life and are super duper detailed. Dungeons in this game are excellent I found some puzzles in these caverns had me truely puzzled for a really long time which is a good thing; I really had to use logic and thinking to solve them the puzzles in Golden Sun are brilliant. Music and sound are top notch many beautiful catchy tunes will take your breath away and the many sound effects are well done. Overall I think Golden Sun is one the best games I have ever played it works so hard to make a well polished game that plays totally old-schol.

Golden Sun

What can I say, this game is amazing and let me say I have played tons of RPG games and this one is in my top 10. It has great graphics, sound, and the story keeps you into it all the way. The battle is hard to get use to and there is a lot of talking. I won't even rent it I would go out and buy it right now!

Damn Good

This game is easily one of the best games out there for GBA. The graphics are amazing for GBA standards, the gameplay is superb, and the story is interesting. The Djinn system really adds excitement to the game, also. Overall, this game will leave you staring into that GBA screen for hours.

Golden Sun Shines

This game rocks. I love the GBA, and I love RPG games. I have waited for the two to be in the same sentance together, and Golden Sun was worth the wait. Suprisingly, I actually like the fact that you have to play the second game in order to see the true ending. I think it is worth every minute of playing and is a surpisingly long game for such a small system.

Talk talk talk...

I had to give it a low score becuase they talk a little too much in this game, but the battles are fun, i love the graphics, it seems like nothing is on a scale like Pokemon... I got stuck on alot of bosses too, but thats my fault....
