Video Game Reviews of Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Customer Review: YOU SHOULD BUY THIS GAME, AND THE FIRST GOLDEN SUN, TOO!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game a while ago, as soon as I saw it on the shelfs.If you buy this ggame, you should really buy the first game (also Golden Sun) because it gives you a whole other half to the amazing plot.
Both the games are THE BEST GAMEBOY ADVANCE GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED!
Graphics are utterly amazing. Music is great - hearing it through earphones adds alot to it as well!
Gameplay is great. The begining of both games is simple, so that you can get an idea of what's going on. The game soon becomes a complex game, challenging and fun. It has great replay value because you can always try to get all the Djinn, elemental creatures, weapons, and summons to get more powerful. Each step is an attempt to get into and solve the lighthouses, and you go through many challenges. (Note: if you REALLY get stuck or just want to make sure you haven't missed anything along the way, look up the game on the internet)
The battle scenes are great, and the summons in particular have AMAZING graphics.
I can't tell you how much fun this is. It's the best game I've ever played, BUY IT!!! MAKE SURE TO GET THE FIRST ONE TOO, TRUST ME THE MONEY IS WELL WORTH IT.
REVIEW: Picks up perfectly from where golden sun ends. Great graphics and music. Engaging plot. Three save files. Visit numerous new areas, including Lemuria. Great of replay value.
cons: you can't go to the place you went to in golden sun at all. (note: you can still get the djinn.)
IT GOES BEYOND A STAR RATING... 10/5 stars+ !!!!
I'm serious ... this game is a must have for an adventure game lover, or a great way to introduce someone to GameBoy Advance! :)
Customer Review: THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE!!! READ TO FIND OUT MORE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw Golden Sun was when the first version came out, and I thought that the game would be plain stupid...but you have no idea how wrong I was! After playing the first version "Golden Sun" I was in love! The graphics for these games are absolutly stunning and clear, as well as bright and colorful! I would say this game is definitly not a dissapointment.The only problem is that if you want to play this game, you have to play the first one first, or else you will have no idean what the heck you are doing. Anyway, the story for this game is really great and characters have some pretty amazing personalities. I like it how all the different characters have different attitudes about their experiences in the game, and it really makes it a whole lot more interesting. I like how in the beginning you leave off in the last dungeon of the first game, only you're different characters instead of being Isaac, where in this game you play as Felix, Jenna's brother. Even though I recommend to buy and play the first version, some of the text does go back to the othe game so that you're not totally lost.
Ok, now back to the game! This game has so many amazing dungeons and enemies, and I would say that they are way more challenging than the first game. As you get farther in the game the enemies begin to get really strong, but it's really fun to battle them. And don't worry Golden Sun fans you do get MORE Dijnn, yeah thats right MORE Dijnn. Now for those of you who don't know what Dijnn are, they're elemental allies that help boost your magic, and character stats such as attack strength. There are also some really cool NEW attacks in this game, even for the characters from the last game. Just wait until you learn about the hidden summoning tablets that you have to find.
The summoning tablets able you to sommon very powerful monsters that can cause so much dammage that it can kill a whole party of enemies in one blow. (Yes you need Dijnn to be able to summon these awsome creatures!) Although it is very challenging to find these tablets, but it is way worth the wait. There are also 2 special summoning tablets that you can only get if you have all the Dijnn inlcuding the ones from Isaac's party. I almost forgot! You can transfer your data from the first Golden Sun game to the new game, so make sure that you have all the Dijnn in the first game or you will not be able to receive the 2 special summoning tablets, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on these! Especially because one of them gives a lot of damage as well as reviving any downed allies and restoring their HP.
Now more info about the battle! Even if you don't transfer data from the first Golden Sun Game you will be able to meet up with Isaac and co. Anway, when you have Isaac's party with you, you are able to switch out characters if their magic or HP is low, the only problem is that you can only switch out one character at a time. This means you need more strategy than ever! But do not take this special treat to your advantage. That's basically the only new stuff about the battle scences, otherwise everything is basically the same. Although there is new battle music depending on who's in your party at the time.
Like I mentioned before the dungeons are more challenging. If you're not a patient person then I recommend that you buy the guide book, because some of these places are very tedious. When I played, there was this one dungeon and it drove me crazy because it was almost like a maze. But I do have to admit that it was quite challenging and fun! You will also have to collect pieces of a trident in the game, and even though it may sound easy it is not, because all the pieces are in different places, so don't give up hope if you cannot find them...because they're out there somewhere.
Back to the characters. Now for those of you who thought that Felix is some evil person you are totally wrong. He plays a really great role in this game, and it's really cool to see Jenna and Felix battleing side to side. You also get to know more about the mysterious Sheba and about her past. A new character in this game is an allie named Piers, who comes from Leumuria. You also get to know more about his life and what the mysterious Lemuria is really like. There are so many mysteries about each character, but no worries, you find out everything in the end. And for those of you who wondered "Does Isaac ever talk?" well yes, in matter of fact he does! So this is really exciting for some, and believe it or not Felix has a few lines as well.
For those of you that like the villians, then you should definitly keep reading. Just like the last game there are two main enemies. There names are Agatio and Karst, and you DO NOT face them only once, which is really exciting.
There is really so much more to tell but I don't want to give away all of the amazing details and secrets hidden in this game. I would have to say that ending is very amazing and this game is definitly not a disappointment!

Customer Review: I can't talk...
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is the... BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. How the crap did they do this with just a GBA/SP? I've beaten it and it calls everyone to play it. I cuold tell you the story, but it's too long. Rember this though, this is one of Final Fantasy's greatest rivals.Customer Review: It deserved a sequel?
Summary: 2 Stars
How did the last one deserve a sequel? granted they never finished the story but who the hell cared? the story was LAME. And in response to people that try to write like "true RPG fans" they aren't this is a VERY simple bare bones RPG veterin RPG players will get bored and lose interest VERY fast in this game the battle system was the only redeaming quality but it couldn't save this train wreck of a game because they wasted so much time talking. holy crap let's sit around in town talking about everything we're gonna do then talk about it while we do it then discuss what happened and the consequences afterwards but also for fun we'll throw in a whole bunch of worthless dialouge that slows the process down so that it takes 3 hours just to say that you did a good job in the last dungeon. just wanted to shut it off at times but I had to play through it with the hopes that the ending would be worth it and it wasn't worst part about the games story was the fact that there weren't any twists the people at nintendo made sure of that through over explaining every step the characters took. so unless you like wasting your time with endless dialouge skip this game.
