I know they're leaving room for a sequal, but I finished in about a week of real time, and I didn't play that much. Plus, since you're stuck in Lalivero after you beat the final battle, there's no replay value. Although it left me eagerly awaiting the second one, it also left me feeling a little cheated. However, overall, this is an awesome game. The storyline didn't bother me, because the number of sideplots the ever-altruistic Isaac and crew feel the need to indulge in kept things varied and fun. Overall, I highly recommend this game, but if you're getting it, buy Lost Age at the same time, or you'll be really mad when you finish. Me? I'm promising myself Lost Age as a reward after I finish Finals Week, and I'm counting the days.

This is my favorite GBA game and is second in my all-time favorities only to Dark Cloud 2. The main review may be right about the dull plot, but this game is still amazing! It also works with the GBA Action Replay witout having to type it off the computer, as it is automatically recorded in the AR memory when you buy it.

A game worth spending for

I first bought this game on base when I couldn't find any Zelda games. I was new to the GBA and had no idea what was good. I looked on the back of the packaging and found information of a game with magic (or psynergy, if you want to get seriously technical). Magic was all I was looking for, so I went and bought it. My Zelda obsession went out the window.

Pros: I don't think I could list them all.
-A totally new story unlike others wich are continuations of others. You get the entire story in two games unlike where the first five are only in Japan and they only started in US.
-Djinn. An optional quest which could make you all-powerful. Not only do have attacks and other things during a battle, but you can have multiple Djinni attack in one massive explosion.
-Long gameplay (if you want to get everything). If your just looking to complete the game, it might take under twenty hours for experienced gamers. For me (being new and all), it took nearly thirty hours. But I also got all the Djinn. And then you might want to get ALL possible psynergy, which then you have to get up to level 56 (Isaac's last Slayer class psynergy). Grand Gaia. Now, Even I haven't gotten it yet.
-Multitude of characters. Tons of personalities. Need I say more?
-Even more weapons. We have regular weapons. We have weapons that do even more damage when they unleash there psynergy locked within them.
-Many puzzles that will halt your progress.
-Ability to save whenever you like.
-Battle arena. Face your friends, foes, bosses, or enemies till your head explodes.
-Easy controls. Even though the Djinn need a bit to get the knack of, by the time you get to Vault ('bout 20 min into the game), they'll be second nature.
-Even more Pros.

Cons-Now these are easy to pick out.
-Random battles. It's not that they're "conny" or anything, but when you're in a dungeon or cave and trying to complete a puzzle, every two steps you meet an enemy. In contrast to that, when you're looking for a battle to level up, you don't find any.
-Lack of experience. Lack of battles=lack of experience=lack of levels. It takes forever to level up after you get to level twenty. On my good game, I have played nearly eighty hours, and I'm only on level 52.
-VERY long movie-scenes. If you have some patience or a thirst for a plot, this might not be that much of a con. But if you wanted to play the game again or a boss has defeated you and you have to listen to the same conversation again, it gets seriously annoying. Good thing in the second game, you can just hold the B button and the words go zooming by.
-Only sixteen summons. All summons look stunningly beautiful (except for Tiamet and Cybele...they were a little...blah...), so it's a dissapointment there's only sixteen. In the second game, there's going to be at least twenty more.
-A halting ending. After finally beating Saturos and Menardi after nearly twenty tries and whoppin' the hindquaters off the Fusion Dragon, it comes to big TO BE CONTINUED. For those who loved the game, they must've thrown a fit. For me, I nearly threw my GBA against the wall.

Well, thank-you for any who was able to stay awake through that. I really hope that people buy this game because of my review!! ^.^

AMAZING!

I bought this game about 2 years ago and it is still awesome even after I have beaten it countless times. There is a very great storyline, a reason for everything you do. The graphics are good for a gameboy advance. This game is also long. There are many puzzles and hard monsters. This game will take a long time to beat and remain fun the whole time. I have almost 20 gameboy games and have played almost all that they have come out with and this and golden sun II are the best that I have ever played. It is the only game that I still play on my gameboy. The battles are turn based, though it may seem like a setback, there is so much variety and awesome graphics in the battle sequences. Basically you play a group of 4 players, you start out with one and find the rest, play through hundreds of levels, each unique with cool monsters and very well thought puzzles. There are thousands of items, and your characters grow seemingly unlimited levels as you progress. Multiplayer mode is cool though you can only play with three characters instead of all four. Every aspect is superb and the only thing that I dislike is long cut scenes. If you have any questions about the game e-mail me at m@snedaker.net

THIS GAME IS WORTH EVERY LAST PENNY!

Even if your not a RPG fan its great!

This game is perfect. Ive beat it a few times and its never the same. What i like a bout it is that it will keep you busy for a long while and that the graphics r perfect,the sound trak is great but to really enjoy it get some headphones.Story play is origanal some one you loved dies get beat up three years later youre saving the world.But what i dont like about this game is that it just leaves you with a to be continued.... at the end. over all its the to be continued sign and the to-origanal story play is what made me give this game four stars.three words BUY THIS GAME TODAY.

a flawless RPG

one of the best games to ever hit the gameboy advance.The ongoing storyline that deserves to be made into a movie,3D graphics,colorful backgrounds and screens,and creepy or cool looking monstrs that seem like it will pop out of the screen,what more can u want from an RPG.

An RPG Game Worth Getting

I think that this "Golden Sun" game is a real lot of fun for alot of ages. So for anybody who likes RPG games, this is your best bet!

Finally, a game thats NOT a port from SNES

Its quite possibly the best rpg for the Gameboy platform since Final Fantasy Legend Series. The story grabs your attention at the beginning and doesn't let you go. I recommend everyone with a GBA to get this game.
