The good far outweighs the bad.

User Rating: 8.5 | Golden Sun: Dark Dawn DS
By s0lidifieds | Review Date:
The reviewer is a little too harsh. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn deserves better than a 7.5. This game is a lot of fun. The puzzles feel 'just right' to me, but the battles can be a little on the easy side, although I've almost died twice from not paying attention. The music and atmosphere is really great. The ambiance of the environment really sucks you in.

The only thing that's annoying, and draining about this game, (and it would get a 9.5 or a 10 if it wasn't for this one thing) is that the dialogue isn't very good. The writing is on the stale side, and not only do the characters talk too much, they also have a tendency to repeat the same things over and over again. NPCs just aren't all that fun to talk to either, although sometimes they will have something funny/interesting/witty to say.

But the graphics are great. The music is perfect, majestic, beautiful and the boss fight theme music is catchy. The gameplay is awesome. The game would be perfect if they just worked on the writing a bit more, stopped repeating dialogue so much, and cut back on all the exposition.
