Good RPG, but a little strange.

Golden Sun is arguably one of the prettiest and best GBA games ever seen. I can definately agree with that. However, I could not stand the dumb story line. You start out living with your depressed mom and act like children pretty much all the way through. Supposidly these guys are teens, but Nintendo clearly aimed it toward an everyone audience. I would have liked to see some profanity, and characters that actualy acted like teens, rather then moms. Oh well. On the bright side the visuals are great and the battle system is original. It just depends on how old you are and what your likes and dislikes are I suppose.

Horrible Game

When I first bought this game, I thought that it was going to be cool. First RPG on GBA and all, but the story doesn't even end. You have to buy Golden Sun 2 to finish the story. Plus, the characters spend 10 minutes a conversation to make stupid faces and talk really slow. The gameplay is pretty good, but the talking makes it all bad. Sometimes they will go into a talking scene and I can't save. It's just a horrible game. Just borrow it from a friend. It's not worth the money!!

Engrossing but also confusing

This is a decent RPG game that features an expansive environment and tons of fun for RPG diehards. Unfortunately for the average gamer the gameplay is too complicated -- this game has by far the thickest manual of all GBA games I've seen. The graphics are attractive. Even though the storyline is quite lame and laughable, RPG fans will be easily engaged. All in all, a game worth getting.

this isn't good at all.

This game isn't very good. first, You have to go through lots of very difficult levels, The people spend forever talking, and you have to find some artifact to restore the world. you have to use psychic and magical powers lIke earth, wind, sun, and fire(which i don't like). so iwouldn't recommend this game to impatient gamers.

DON'T BUY! Read the numbers...

I have this game and it's good, but it is a waste--YES, a waste--of money. How so? Read the numbers... oh, and if you are thinking "quality over quantity", believe me, these games have PLENTY of quality:
FF 7--15 dollars, 50+hours of gameplay
Chrono Trigger--Free(Emulation), 15-20+ hours
Legend of Dragoon--15 dollars, haven't finished, but the first out of four discs is about 17 hours
Half-Life--30$(Half-Life generation, look for it all over the net... has Half-Life, Opposing Force, TFC, and CS) 16 hours single player (IF you have played through the game many times and are a TOTAL expert at it and know the puzzles well, first time through the game is around 50 hours) Potential 100+ hours online IF you enjoy deathmatches/rescue the hostages/capture the flag and take it a step at a time, cause you won't be an expert at it at first (ESPECIALLY CS). Also, if you have a fast connection, there are hundreds of fun single and multiplayer mods out there...
Everquest Trilogy--30$ initially, 12$ per month, HOWEVER you get about 20-50+++ hours per month since this game is so addicting...
Sonic Adventure--10$(Dreamcast) 'bout 12 hours earning all the stuff, still great deal...
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal--YES! I have definitely outgrown Pokyman, but for the younger ones...30$, 120 hours of gameplay if you like collecting, trading, and training pokemen...
That's all I feel like writing down! Clearly, Golden Sun is a horrible financial deal... AND, while 30$ is a petty amount, if you like to make the most out of your money...

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

It is hard to describe a game like this one. To put it simply, this game has unbelievable graphics especially for the GBA system. Interactive gameplay. Interesting story. Really cool spell effects. All in all this game is the RPG players dream come true.

Best looking game for the GBA!

Not only does this game look incredible... but it's also very fun. They did an excellent job making this game and the reply value is excellent. You can even battle a friend with a link cable.

I'll make this short. It's like Final Fantasy, only better (generic, no?). I'm not a real fan of fantasy-setting RPGs, but I've made my exception. Getting a GBA? Are you a RPG junkie? Look no more. My only complaint is that the battle system is a lot like Final Fantasy: two sides (you and the enemy), your characters just stand there until it's their turn to fight. Yea, they just...stand there.

Golden sun {translation, an upgraded version of final fanasy

This was the best game that I have ever played in my life. The story line is great, the graphics are fantastic, and the music is outstanding. It starts out were you{isach},garet, and jenna, go into mt. aleph. mt. aleph is the place were the elemental stars are hidden. the elemental stars are there gems that you throw into the right lighthouses. if all the lighthouses are lit, then great danger will come upon the world. A evil rio of four, santaros, menardi, felix, and alex, steal the elemental stars, and Its up to you to stop them from lighting the lighthouses.

this game was a trill, I highly reccomend you buy it. the only thing I don't like about it is that once you beat the game, then you can't continue it. But don't worry, in 2003 they are going to came out with a sequel called: Golden sun, the lost time.
if you have a gameboy advance,BUY IT!!
