Reviews around character (4.52 of 5)

  • The gameplay is awesome, the characters are great, and the story is unforgettable
  • Now, to the cons of Golden Sun...specifically, the plot and the characters.
  • There's also an issue where, if you set all of your characters to attack one enemy and that enemy is destroyed, the characters that attack him later have their attack wasted.
  • The graphics are great, the story is great, and the characters are great
  • With great characters, setting, story, music, and well everything this is a must have..

Reviews around system (4.42 of 5)

  • They bring the magic (psynergy) system alive amazingly.
  • You use Psynergy, the game's magic system, to solve puzzles so you can progress through the game, giving it its own unique challenge
  • This activates the temple's defensive systems, which sends huge boulders crashing straight for the center of Vale
  • It has an intricate magic system with little creatures called Djinn.
  • "Golden Sun" has a very good magic system, Psynergy, and you have to use it throughout the game, but it doesn't get boring

Reviews around music (4.18 of 5)

  • The story line is great, the graphics are fantastic, and the music is outstanding
  • The music is great, nothing is more annoying then music you can't stand in a game like this
  • This game has an outstanding storyline, great graphics,and great music!
  • I truly loved the music and felt that it fit the game very well

Reviews around play (3.89 of 5)

  • Golden Sun is one of the best RPG games I have ever played
  • even some Play Station 2 and Game Cube games pale in comparison.

  • The bosses are cool and 3-D(like all the monsters), they are challenging and not too hard.

Reviews around people (1.85 of 5)

  • The music is like little people are trapped in the GBA and singing
  • Some people complain that the plot of Golden Sun is a little
  • The people look halfway realistic (for a GBA game).The story fits perfectly for an RPG and the game is long considering that it is a GBA game and that there is going to be a sequal
  • 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
  • Some people may complain that this game is not long enough, but it amazes me that they can put as much as they did on a tiny little cartridge about as big as a bite size Hershy candy bar

Reviews around guy (1.44 of 5)

  • But their are 4 bad guys who stole the 4 stones.the earth would be destroyed if the 4 crystals weren't brought back
  • Once again, as with many other RPGs, you are called out to save the world by collecting a number of magic items both before and from the bad guys, as many critics have pointed out.
  • the plot is basic RPG: bad guys steal something, you must get it back, they want to destroy the world, you have to stop them
  • The characters are great and the enimies are actully hard to beat, which can be good or bad, but it makes it more intersting to have a tough bad guy
  • The "Bad guys line up here, good guys line up here.
