Follow the steps below:
"Even if you think you don't like RPGs (like I used to up until this past summer), give Golden Sun a couple of hours and see if it still can't impress you." -- Steve Lubitz, NETJAK
"The great combination of splendid visuals and emotive melodies put this game ahead of the pack." -- Chase Nguyen, ALL RPG
"Golden Sun might not have all the bells and whistles of today’s console RPGs, but it is certainly a fun title—and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters." -- Mike Bracken, GAMECRITICS.COM
"It's the best original (nonport) GBA RPG to date, sporting stellar graphics, above-average sound, and a worthwhile experience (at least 20 hours of gameplay) that should make that next family roadtrip that much more tolerable." -- Miguel Concepcion, TECHTV
"The battles though have the best graphics on the game and perhaps the best seen yet on a handheld machine." -- Fenix Down, RPG WAREHOUSE
"Never judge a book by its cover, this game can hold a flame to even the biggest RPG's for any of the console." -- Lik, GAME SHARK
"Like a good book that you won't want to put down. Golden Sun is portable role-playing at its purest. Totally absorbing." -- Rick Moulton, GAMESRADAR.COM
"To be frank, having a GBA without Golden Sun is like having a cow that doesn't produce milk." -- Keith Schaefer, CVGAMES
