Wow. Wow. Wow. This game just blows my mind I mean I picked it thinking it would be just O.K. and I pop it in and Wow.The graphics are amazing its not to hard to understand the battle system, just play it for about 3 hours(and believe me it'll fly by) and you'll have it down.the only major problem that could cause any concern what so ever is the long cinematics where they talk and talk for ever but that doesn't take anything away from this game, if youre a kid you'll like the nice colors and if you're an adult you'll like the rich graphics and inticing story line, and the battle system. So buy this game even If you don't really like RPG's you should like this one, It is quite amazing for the very first official RPG on the GBA And for only 29.99 right here you can't go wrong Get it.
A Great GBA Game!!!

Golden Sun in my opinion is probably going to be one of the best Game Boy Advance games to come out. The fighting system is very good, being able to use magic or the djinns to cast spells and summon monsters is very nice. i recommend this game to everyone who has patience, because this game may take a while if you want to find everything.
This game rocks!!

This game is one of the best ever! I'm not a big RPG fan. In fact, I think most RPGs are just plain stupid. The graphics rival those of PS1 games, and even a few PS2 ones. I love using
Psynergy and Djinn. Also, the battle animations are awesome! I never would have thought a Game Boy game would have such suberb graphics? Buy this game now!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely one of the best gb games eva!!!

Seriously, this ranks right up there with zelda and all the other big boys. Graphics outside battle are pretty good and the in fight graphics are even better, both of which are 3-D. It has a very rich and addictive plot, intresting friends and enemies, and mind twisting puzzles. One of the things i like about it is you don't have to do everything in the game. if there is something you cant figure out you can simply move on and do it in a new game later. But if you do everything you get rewarded with unique items that are not necessary but add more fun to the game. Another thing i like is the Djinn system. Djinni are little monsters that are scattered throughout the world you are in. if you find them and use them you can make your character stronger, give your character new spells, and change your character's class. There are five people total in your party, but four is the most you'll have at one time(something happens to one early on). Personaly i haven't tried the multiplayer so i won't comment on that. overall great game.
Best game ever!

I'm not a very big rpg fan but this game is just amazing. The graphics are awesome and the sound is fantastic. The problem is I was going to save it and play it on my plane trip in may but it just jumped out at me and I started playing. Unfortunately there is a lot of talking and you can't save the game while something exciting is happening or when someone's talking. I would give this game 5 stars.
Golden Sun: Hottest game on the market!

For those of you sitting with a Gba or a Gba Sp wondering what game to buy, I have a good recommendation for you. Its none other than Golden Sun! I recently purchased a platinum Gba Sp because I didn't previously own a Gba (the Gba Sp is AWESOME!)and from a friends nomination, I got Golden Sun to go along with it, and I can tell you, that game is SWEET!
Pros:
1. Excellent Rpg complete with item placements
2. Turn-based fighting
3. Awesome powers and graphics
4. Keeps you occupied
Cons:
None so far!
If your willing to buy a game, go ahead and get Golden Sun!
P.S. - after you beat it you can get the neat sequel: Golden Sun the Lost Age
10 Star Game!

The game Golden Sun is a really fun game. You start out in a place called Vale, in the begining there is a giant storm and Jenna's brother Felix dies in it. After the storm passes you have to find a pesron and he will take you to Sol Sanctum. You also have to find Djinni four of all of the four elements you will also need to learn as many different types of Psynergy. There are three different people that you almost must have join your party Garet, Ivan & Mia ( main character Isaac) If you like to explore things then you really should or must get the game Golden Sun. It is an amazing game and has great graphics!!!!
The best gme for the Game Boy Advance!!!

hi,
I have had golden sun for quite some time now adn I have never gotten sick of it. This game is great game it has really good puzzles to figger out and are not too easy or not to hard.
The only downer side of this game is there is a lot of reading (when you start the game you are reading for like 19 mins straight...other than that it is a great game. there was a kid that recammended this game to kids under 12. NO WAY! anyone over 12 would love this game because they will follow the story better. I am 16 adn I love this game I am about half way adn I am very exited of what is coming in the near future of this game. It would also be a good Idea to get this game now to get ready for the sequel of this game coming up. If you don't like reading (like me) then don't worry you will still love this game after you get into the game there aint as much reading and there is more fun adn great graphics. I recammend this game to any age under 17. the lastability is great it is just that it is really annoying to start the game again because there is all that reading. you can not skip the reading at the beginning of the game. the story os kinda exiting anyway so it is great!
after you past the reading at the start of the game it gets exciting!!!
I hope I have convised you that this game is good. I garenty you will like this game.
