Ok. I'm not really 12. I just couldn't get the server to work. I'm actually 14, and I have never actually played the game. I have however read every peice of info I could get my hands on. So here goes!
Golden Sun (by Nintendo and Camelot) is a RPG based on a boy from a town where people use psynergy, a mysterious energy thats kinda like psycic energy, and are able to fight, and move things with their mind. The hero of the story is a boy named Isaac (Frodo in the beta version) who, with three others he meets in his adventures, has to save the Four Elemental Stones from Saturos and Menardi, who are the games main bad guys.
Moving past the story, the game features great graphics, tight game control, an epic storyline, great battle mode, and SWEET LOOKING SUMMON SPELLS! Sorry...
Golden sun appears to be the first of many great RPG's for GameBoy Advance, and one you won't want to miss!

This is a great game. It kinda reminds me of some final fantasy games and chrono trigger. You can play as 4 characters that each have a differnt element earth, fire, water, wind. the menu function is quite complex. But the graphics are incredible. You should defently get this game if you like the final fantasy series.

I hope

Golden Sun is a classic stly, turn-based RPG. It include magic abilities, summons, and magical weopons to inflict damage or have stratigic effects on enemies or teammates. It is the same stlye as games like the earlier Final Fantasy games, and should be equally entertaining. The game features outstanding visuals on battle, and the summons and spells have nice animation, the best on the sytem so far. The Game Boy Advance is lacking in RPG games, until now.

Great Game!

This game looks truely amazing. If you like the Final fantasy series on Playstation you will definatly like this game. It features vast and complex worlds and has a truely amazing story. The menues are complex but will get easier to uderstand as you move through the game. Play as four characters. The elements include wind, water, fire, and earth. Summon huge creatures who can then combine with other summons and watch as the battle graphics get a whole new and wonderful look. Animation is great and so are the characters. Multiplayer battles against friends and see who is the better fighter. This game looks totally great and should be one of the best RPG's for Gameboy Advance!

Awesome Game!

I just picked up a nintendo power magazine in a book store, and found out about this game! It's a turn-based RPG, with hundreds of options for wepons, armor, and spells. Little sprites, called djins, help boost your psypower (magic). Also, this game has MULTIPLE STORY LINES. even if you've played the game before you can still be kept on your toes. Oh yeah, the graphics are GREAT! I'm deffinitely gonna buy this game!

finaly a good rpg game for game boy advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this the best GBA RPG because of its crisp graphics, excellent gameplay, and interesting weapons. Since I have been up to date on this game, I will tell some info. The storyline revolves around a young warrior who studies the power of earth. He meets people that use fire, water, and wind. The concept of magic is called Psyenergy. The characters collect Djinni to use magic. So when you link, for example, an earth and fire djinn, you may end up getting a volcano (maybe).
So do you see why this is so good?

Solid, Fun RPG

After drooling over pictures of this game for several months, I ordered the Japanese import of Golden Sun when it became available. So far, I have not been disappointed. Golden Sun has all the elements that make RPGs so much fun to play: a story, new magic and items to acquire, etc. The game intro was the first time I had a taste of what the GameBoy Advance hardware is truly capable of. I'm glad to see that true RPGs are making a comeback to Nintendo consoles.
