Golden Sun is such a cool game! Once you start playing it you can't stop. The graphics are great, the story is great, and the characters are great! The ending, although it's sad (this is my opinion, and often my opinions on what are sad are usually different from other people's opinions), is great, too! If you want to play a totally great game for Game Boy Advance, this is definately a perfect game to play!

Golden Sun according to some has a familiar storyline to other "boys save the world games" But this awesome game is a portable gamers dream come to life. (Not to mention change many people's opinion on RPGs for life.) I for one was never really a fan of RPGs but all that changed after I joined the adventures of the Eath Adept Isaac and the rest of his Adept companions. I personally can't wait for the sequel to be released here.
Golden Sun is the best.

I have this game and it is the best game for the advance yet. Graphics are the best you can get on advance. Story is exellent. 21 places to go. Awsome battle mode. So far in my game I am 3/4 done. I got this during Christmas. This game will keep you playing long after the sunsets. Sound-effects are great. In battle mode your energy attacks sound if you were right there fighting with them. I really recommend you to get this game. So far this is the best game for advance of all time.

This game is really cool. You fight monsters with swords and use powers called phyenergy. it takes forever to beat and it is really, really challenging. There are puzzels, mazes and battles. Gradually you become better and get better phyenergy. I have been playing this game for a total of 40 hours. Buy this game before it is out of stock.
WOW! it roxors!

This game totally blew me away. It has an amazing story and great gameplay. You can use your magic powers and the powers of the mystical creatures called Djinn. The only thing bad about this game is all the dialogue. Theres enough to write a book. But all in all, if you have GBA(gameboy advance) This game is a hafta-have game.
I lovelovelovelovelove this game!!!! It's my fave^-^

Golden Sun is such an awesome game!!!! I highly recomend it for anyone who likes the Zelda games. The four main characters are Isaac, Garet, Ivan, and Mia. So here are some of the best parts of the game: It's purty challenging, it just depends. I beat it within the time of a little less than a year with no help, and my friend beat it within the time of about a month, but I'm pretty sure he used an online strategy guide.... Psynergy is soooo fun! You can do so much stuff with psynergy, like carry things, read people's minds, and use it in battle. And each psynergy attack has it's own animation! Also, if you're one of those weird people that make my eye twitch *twichy eye* and must have good graphics in a game, then believe me, Golden Sun has AMAZING graphics! And the music is soooo kewl! There was only one small thing that kinda bugged me a little, there's a buncha talking in some parts.... but.... that's okay! ^-^ Okay, uhhh.... so uhhhh..... buy Golden Sun NOW!!!!
((BTW I really do have Golden Sun plushies, I made them myself^-^))
Excellent RPG action...

The Game Boy Advance is one of the best systems out right now. Better than XBox and almost as good as GameCube and Playstation 2, this system is currently spawning (and respawning) some great games. "Golden Sun" is one of them. The story is about a group of boys who use psynergy to bring down a group of theives and save the world (or something like that). The graphics and music really make the game great, though some of the plot devices are predictable. But "Golden Sun" is a great game for a long car ride or Math class.
Stunning game. Amazing graphics, sound and more.

Few games for the Gameboy Advance has stirred up more rumors and speculation than Golden Sun. Nintendo yet again brings us a breathtaking game for it's latest portable console, the gameboy advance. Golden Sun brings the player hours of fun with amazing graphics, crisp and clear sound, and one of the best story lines of most of the current gameboy advance games. Many hail it to be the best Gameboy Advance game, while I do not quite feel this way about it I do believe it to be a wonderful game that you can immerse yourself in for hours of detachment from the outside world, to put your self into a fantasy world where you have wonderful abilities known as Psyenergy to help you on your quest. Golden Sun also leaves way for a complete series of games, and with Golden Sun 2 coming out within a few days many more hours of fun await.
Absolutely Breathtaking

Golden Sun is one of those games that just makes you want to find more programmers like this. It is an awesome game where you can move things in the environment and take care of puzzles and such. It is a non-linear game that allows you to finish some tasks before others. Like most RPGs you have Djinns that you can summon or just set on your characters to give them different classes.
The magic system is similar to other RPGs, but some magic can be used on the world as well, giving you more options and a tactical advantage when exchanging classes around to achieve some spells. The game rocks, with great graphics and awesome gameplay. Its also not a frustrating game and its not hard to get stuck in some places. The sequel apparently allows you to send data back and forth, so the game has potential for re-playability.
There are tons of items and cool things to do in the world. You can do some "side quests" in which you help someone here and you go back later and they will thank you. If you think you've found it all, go and give the world back a turn, you might find some people willing to say different things. Its a preety decent game.
There is little downside to this game as everything rocks about it. Most people I've met find the ending lacking, but I thought it was a perfect for a sequel. In my opinion the end bosses are too easy, but that is just my opinion ;) Hope this helps.
