Guide Review - Golden Sun - Game Boy Advance
This game has set the standard for me in relationship to how a game should look on the Game Boy Advance. I was blown away at how great things looked on my tiny screen.
You play the role as the hero, and start out as a young boy growing up the town of Vale. Through some crazy circumstances, you start out to defend the realm and stop an evil force from lighting the elemental towers.
The game play is excellent. Throughout the game you collect and tame Djinn. Small Pokemonish monsters which will enhance your stats, change your powers, perform special tricks, and when combined with other djinn of the same type can accomplish devastating attacks with dazzling special effects.
