DESCRIPTION
Nintendo invites classic console-style role-playing gamers to embark on a new adventure in Golden Sun, the first title in a planned series of releases for the Game Boy Advance. Detailed characters make their way through countless screens of action and discovery, harnessing the powers of the four elements and crafting new possibilities through spells, psychic talents, and the forgotten art of alchemy. The heroes travel the large game world on a quest to prevent rival sorcerers from unleashing a dangerous power on the peaceful land.
Players guide their characters from a high perspective that looks down on each scene from the front. Turn-based battles are seen from ground level for a closer view of each combatant. Emotive animations and swirling spell effects bring combat to life. Throughout the journey, a variety of elusive Djinn familiars may be collected, which can be assigned to characters to augment their power. In addition to boss battles and random encounters, gameplay involves some cunning puzzle-solving, as characters often must manipulate the environment to gain access to new areas. ~ T.J.

“Golden Sun is a typical kids game with silly riddles and poor story development. I don't get the whole purpose of the journey of the four kids beating evil villains. I dare you to remenber the ending; it ist pointless with this "to be continued" setting. It doesn't satisfy me at all. Some words to the battle standards: It is a whole classical role play with attacking, defensing, magic and summoning creatures, so nothing exciting. Villains and the whole enemies aren't much strong. The only strong point is the use of magic outside of battles. Pulling a stone block with magic is really well done feature.
This game is a average gold choin for lonely and boring weekends but nothing memoriable.”

“Golden Sun is a very good RPG, arguably one of the best even. Featuring a rather classic cast in a fantasticly immersive world with some unique gameplay, few were left unsatisfied.
+ The story starts off in a nice and relaxed manner ('cept for some unfortunate boulders :D) but before you know it your band of ragtag heroes is actually out there saving the world. It may be a bit cliché but it's very well done and they made the transitions so smooth you won't even realize what you're doing 'till you can't stop anymore.
+ Djinn, summons, abilities in and out of battle,... The gameplay is very nice and won't dissapoint anyone.
+ Secret Boss. Remember that big tornado in the desert? Why don't you take a spin and enjoy the secret isle and it's epic Boss. *small SPOILER ahead* Try to imagine how it fells to land on a strange island where you can only descent further and further... into the ground... untill you stumble upon a pirate ship and it's ghost captain! *end SPOILERS* I agree that doesn't sound so great but come back to me after you've actually done it and try to say it again :D
- Sure you could use summons... but for what? The only time you'll actually be using them is at the beginning of a boss battle to get a damage boost and some Djinn efects. There are no realy good reasons to use it and the negative aspects are huge: lower stats, worse class/abilities, nothing to fall back on when needed...
- The Djinn alow for a lot of customizability... untill you get enough of them and realize nothing actually compares to Samurai/Ninja. Quite a pity and a severe lack of customizability for the end-game.
A very good RPG. If you haven't played it yet, be sure to pick it up if you stumble across it. Haven't played quite enough afterwards? Don't worry, GS3 is in the making :D”

“A very well made classic styled RPG with amazing graphics for it's time. It had a story that kept you guessing and a cliff hanger making you want more. The neat magic that you could use in and out of battle were very creative and sometimes cinematic. I'd highly recommend this game if you're a fan of classic RPG's.”
