I personally thought that the game was a mix of ZELDA and ANY decent RPG game. It added that RPG touch without that POKEMON-ish feel to it. Great puzzles, abilities, and a nice plot. ... Can't wait for golden sun 2 bye.

Best game yet for GBA

Golden sun has got to be the best GBA game I have ever played. The first time you play the game you know that the game is going to be good. The graphics and sound are amazing. The game has a very good story line and will keep you hooked from the beginning to the end. The game took me at least 42 hours the first time through and even then I had not got all the items. The game takes a lot of time to finish. The final boss in the game is very hard to beat. The game plays like most RPGs deffeat monsters in battle to get experince points and level up your party. If you have a game boy advance but do not own this game go out and buy it. You will not be disappointed.

AWESOME!

This is the best game for GBA I have ever played. The graphics are like PS one graphics! The music is like little people are trapped in the GBA and singing. The plot and story are fantastic. BY THIS GAME!

Now to start this off, I am not the greatest RPG gamer so I am not too experienced in this genre BUT, I can give you my opinion of the game. For this game you go around to different cities and towns, and different people join you. Battles oftenly come up against monsters and to defeat them you can use your weapons, or this really cool thing called Pysenergy. During the game, as your levels rise, you can start to learn more spells of Pysenergy which really makes the game fun. The only problem for me is that I keep on dying at one place because there are too many monsters, enough said, I enjoy the game, and most people will too.

The Best Original RPG on the GBA Bar-None

While there have been a lot of ports of some fantastic SNES RPGs on the Advance system, there hasn't been any original titles to take advantage of the Advance's powerful specs. Enter Golden Sun, which has graphics that probably couldn't have been done on a Super Nintendo and a storyline that gives Breath of Fire a punch in the stomach. Nothing will come close to this game till Final Fantasy Tactics.

good the first time, but the second time...

the first time i played this game it felt like i was playing something too huge 2 fit on a gba game cartridge thingy. the second time...i beat the game in under 15 hours. the only thing really keeping u from continuing in this game is not the monsters, but the puzzles. some cool places like crossbone isle, but thats about it...great game though, nice graphics, ok plot...this game is basically zelda with three other kids who join u and magic power stuff. pretty cool

Great game, but needed a little more

I've played some of the great titles in RPG history: Final Fantasy (4,5,6,7,8,9,10), Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Lunar (1 and 2), Star Ocean 2, along with many others. This game definately is up there as one of the more well made RPGs. With an amazing battle system that pushes the limits of the GBA, this game's graphics quality is amazing. It's music is well done, could be better, but overall not bad. The character designs are well done and the world design is pretty darn straight forward. The only problem with Golden Sun is that it has no character development, the characters pretty much just fall into your lap with little development or setup for who the characters REALLY are other than just another addition to your team. One other minor problem is that Golden Sun is set up to be a trilogy, if you want a game with a straight beginning, middle, end, don't buy this game, however, if you're looking to the setup of what could be an amazing epic adventure, than this RPG is definately for you.

Great graphics, and fun!

The graphics on this game are simply great! The story is also very fun, and the controls are easy to figure out. Even though many say that this is right out of a book or magazine, I love the game. I fell in love with it when my brother's friend let me borrow it for a while, and it convinced me to buy it! This is a fun game, for people of all ages! It reminds me of Final Fantasy in a way, but it may be just me. Why only 4 stars if I like it so much? I only give things I am CRAZY about 5 stars. Anyway, I recommend you playing this game before you get it, simply because certain people may not like the style of the game. However, I loved it, so I suggest just playing it to test it out.
Pros:
1) Great sound and graphics
2) Interesting storyline
3) Fun to do
Cons:
1) Hard to figure out at first
This makes a great gift, and is a great addition to anyone's game collection!

Classic RPG experience 101.

I have heard so much good thing about this little gem even before I bought my GBA. Naturally, this game became my first game to be played.

Let's break down this game without spoiling it.
Graphic: Thumbs up, way up!! I have yet to see any better looking RPG made for GBA. It has charming 2D graphic combined with jaw dropping 32bit effect. The result is very colorful and graceful scenery inside out.

Story: Nothing new here. It certainly isn't bad, but lacks any twist or kick. That makes it rather blend story for experienced player.

Sound: If you liked the sound of Star Ocean: The Second Story, you will like this equally. After all, it is done by same composer. Did I mention that he also participated in Valkyrie Profile, as well as Star Ocean 3, and sequel of Golden Sun.

Overall: Definately one of better RPG to play. If you want to start RPG but without traveling back to past, this is the game. I hope the sequel improves the story.

ONE WORD "AWSOME" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breath Of Fire 1 and 2 are good but the graphics [stink] and so does the music but in Golden Sun this game has it all . There are a lot of puzzels that take like 10 -15 minutes to solve. The music is great and the summuns are awsome.Even some of the regular moves look cool like ragnarok. "thats my favorite attack". You can not beat this in less than 3 days if you play 7 hours a day. There is also 2 player mode when you use a link cable and battle a friend . ...
