Graphics 9/10
For the earlier GBA game this had pretty good graphics. The charcters were detailed...especially for a GBA game. THe running motions were pretty accurate as well. Bottom Line: Well above average graphics.
Sound 8.75/10
Aaaah the great sound of Golden Sun. The sound fit most every mood perfectly. The peaceful sounds inside of Vale the starting town. The hopeless sounding music of the Venus Lighthouse. The overall sound was pleasant so in general good sound.
Gameplay 10/10
I simply adored this game. It set the standard for handheld turn-based RPGs. You could have almost endless combinations of class, djinn, and psynergy. The battle system was classic and the summons were very cool. The bosses were challenging and original. I also liked how you had to actually use your powers to solve the puzzles. Great gameplay.
Overall 9.25/10
This was my favorite handheld RPG of all time. I loved the storyline it had never even been attempted before. The villians were of complete originality and the suprise last boss was very cool. It was kind of annoying when you went through extremely long talking scenes. But overall a great game. Id say it was the best GBA game of the year it came out.
I completely beat this game. I loved it. Opinions?
