Golden Sun has a really typical, predictable kind of storyline. And the uninspired dialogue doesn't help its cause. As the player, you control Isaac (or whatever you want to call him), and go on a quest to save your friends and ultimately the world. I can't say it's very engaging, but at least it's there.
Fortunately, Golden Sun redeems itself with a compelling battle system involving the four elements (earth, wind, fire, and water), pretty graphics that are reminiscent of SNES beauties like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, and other well-implemented gameplay elements like puzzles that break up the monotony.
All in all, I'm really enjoying Golden Sun so far.
Only played for about an hour, wanted to wait until I bought the game for myself. Still haven't got a copy yet, but I also liked the battle system. Can't quite remember the dialogue, but early on it's pretty standard if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteIf you can get it used for cheap, I'd go for it. It's a great handheld game.
