i remember the first time i buy this gem of a game it be christmas of 2003. the first time i play it it start of slowly i have no idea where to go or what to do at all . so by than i give up on it say that i would play it again some other time . that other time wasn not till the next year when i pick up the game around 2004 and play it i figure out what to do and spend month train up play the game . as well a the game play and of course the use of magic and the djinn the elemental spirit creature that be use to summon attack and of course more powerful creature . as well a the rpg element i completely enjoy the story a you isaac or whoever you name the hero a set out with his friend gareth and go around the world of weyard try to find your miss friend and of course save the world from disaster from saturus and menardi . and of course let not forget about the twist and turn of how it would end . if you buy this game i hope you enjoy it as much a i have and look out for it sequel golden sun 2. but the only thing that annoy me about this game be that if you where low on health and you try to return to a town just to get heal or buy medicine a monster or monster may ambush you kill you so that you lose money as well a experience . but do not let that stop you enjoy it at all .
