Golden Sun, was the first game I ever got for my Game Boy Advance SP. I still have it and play it occasionally. It is still, after having it for a pretty long time now, one of the best games I have ever played. The fighting is very similar to Final Fantasy, in a sense that it is turn based and you can do the standard Attack, Defend, Item, Magic, Run. Those are pretty much the standard turn based selections. The graphics for this game are truly stunning, whenever I use a giant spell, I always have to watch the vivid colors and effects. The story is pretty standard, your a young boy coming of age and there are troubles in the world, and what better way to stop them by sending to teenagers out on their own! right? Well, cheesy as it is, that is what they do, but by the end of the story it is not just you (Isaac) and your buddy Garet, you also befriend a little guy named Ivan, and a girl named Mia. The story is a little slow to start but once you get going it becomes truly epic. The final battle between the four of you and the villain Saturos is truly remarkable. The game is filled with challenging puzzles and quests. This is one of the best GBA games, and is my #10 on my favorite games of all time. A must have for any GBA owner.
