Introduction:

So here you are, a young boy named Issac (You can name him anything really....I tend to keep the real name but ya know you can change it but whatever) and you awake to your village being torn to pieces by a nasty storm; which somehow makes boulders fall??? Okay anyway so yeah you basically need to run around and try to help everyone in the village and stuff. You then come across these strong arse men that think you over heard them talking...(which you did) so of course in games the bad guys blow it WAY out of proportion and of course...attempt to KILL you. They just really knock you out...and you start out...ermm....I forget its like 5 years later...or something

Story:

The main story is this, you and a friend from the billage Garet and this other girl...Jenna I think it is and a old fella go up to this restricted temple of a sort and try to find its secrets. When getting threw the puzzles and such they find these stones...or crystals...and they try to take em but THEN those dirty ol' bad guys from 5 years *or around 5 years* comes and TAKES some of them from you, and are going to light all the lighthouses. Now no one has any idea what that might do to the world, so you decide HEY LETS GO STOP THEM!! oh hehe you also go cuz they got your friends...but yeah you go on a quest to try to stop them from possibly destroying the world, you make friends, enemies, ya know the classic RPG.

Gameplay:

Okay now for game play, it is basic but if your into the classic RPG battle system, you will fall in love with the game, all the characters in the game carry a unique element, FIRE, LIGHTNING, WATER, AND EARTH. And with that comes a whole group of unique SPELLS. And also you get to wield some kick arse weapons...so who NEEDS em; also you walk around like a classic RPG, can interact with like book shelves, seeing if items are there and such.

I give the gameplay: 8/10

Graphics:

Well....this is kinda the downside, during battle the graphics kind of look like they were clumped together, making the characters look larger and crapier. But the graphics during regular game play, in my opinion are great...so I will have to average it out so...

I give the graphics: 6/10

Sound:

hah...its a GAME BOY GAME PEOPLE...but yeah for game boy sadly its horrible, but look at it THIS way...plug in your little headphones....into a cd player and listen to some of your favorite music!!!.. ^_^;;;

I give the sound: 4/10

Replayability:

Well it is really a question of how you liked the game, me I would play it over again and try to find some good weapons, items, and some secrets, and take my time with the game, so yeah if your into RPGs and love going back and finding cool little extras, the replay is medium.

I give the replayability: 7/10

Challenge:

Well...I will be honest, training is how you say...harsh/frustrating...I got to the last boss and was 22 levels under the lowest recommendation...I did beat it but I mean JEEZ you don't even want to know how frustrating it is, but yeah the game is definitely a challenge

I give the challenge: 8/10

Value:

....wait....value? you mean is it worth your money....? Well the game is kinda old so yeah its cheap and FUN ^_^;

I give the value: 8/10

Overall:

Overall this game is a challenge, okay graphics, fun gameplay, and sucky music. So unless your really REALLY picky about your music, this game is very good, not many PLOT TWISTS...until you get to the second GAME MWAAUHUAHUHUAHUAHUHAUHAUH....^_^

I give Golden Sun: 8/10

Conclusion:

...........Ummmmmm.............SONY FOREVER!!!!
