Waking to the Golden Sun



Golden Sun (GBA $10) is quite the game. Of course with it being on the Game Boy Advance it seems like it is old, but to many still a favorite. Golden Sun starts out with a couple of characters interested in psyenergy go to Sol Sanctum and run into others who make it erupt and release the Djinn. They must then go on an adventure to capture all the Djinn and keep the villains from lighting the lighthouses that could very well destroy the land.
The Djinn are helpful in battle as you can use them themselves to cause massive damage then you can even use multiple at once to cause great spirits to come and help kill your foes.
The adventure leads the main characters into interaction with others and a growing alliance that helps to cease the actions of those who are trying to light the lighthouses. All see the danger that is upon the world, but only these four can stop it.
The battle system works in that you have turns to attack, defend, use psyenergy or items and then it plays through the actions and shows great graphics. There are many different places to explore. Caves, desserts, a lake where you travel by boat, and other dungeons let many monsters appear and places to find Djinn and other items including swords, armor, and healing items.

Overall, it is a Rpg that truly delves into a world of monsters, powers and plot as you must defeat those who are trying to destroy the world.
