    Lives up to its exceptional pedigree. Not only does this sequel bring back all that was great about the original, but it's longer, harder, and more involved.

    With a pleasant mix of a fantastic storyline, great character development, good pacing of action and adventure, pleasing graphics, and challenging, but fun puzzles, makes Golden Sun practically the “dream” game for fans of the RPG genre.

    Makes some solid refinements to the series' gameplay, features a longer quest, and makes some nice tweaks to the series' presentation.

    The story does finally wrap itself up nicely, and the way you meet up with and fight against your former selves is a rarity handled well. Not a classic game, but very solid nonetheless.

    More of the same, but not like that's a bad thing. Still a drag to level up, and the same Psynergy based-solution dungeons. Easily the best RPG for GBA right now... until FF Tactics Advance is released. .... and FF8? What in god's name are you SMOKING?… Expand
