Hello dsipaint!

Today I am reviewing Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. When I heard a third game was being made for ds, I was extremely exited and couldn't wait for the release. I have now played the game and give a very high score. But enough of that, time for the individual scores.

Gameplay: 8/10

The gameplay of this game was excelllent. The best new feature was probably the fact that psynergy now can be used from a distance, and the range varies from psynergy to psynergy. For example: grip has a huge range, while arid heat has a tiny one. I must also mention the styus use, as it is possible to use just the stylus (or just the buttons).

Graphics: 9/10

You probably expected the graphics to be better than the fiirst two games, and they are. The use of 3D animation makes it a lot clearer. (At one poiny, a character visibly punches another character. You didn't see that in 1 or 2.) The summons look a lot cooler too, and I can see what they are all supposed to be. Great work Graphics team!

Story: 10/10

The plot if this game drove me crazy with memory of the first two games. I mean, you play as the son of Isaic? Since the game is set 30 years after the origional story, things have changed a bit. Izumo has been destroyed b a tsunami, Eoleo is a young man, etc. The only thing that hasn't changed is the age of all the main characters from 1 and 2, even Kraden. I thought Kraden would be dead by now.

Overall: 9/10

This game is one of the best games I have ever played, and am excited to go and play more of it. (Yes, I havn't beaten it yet.)

p.s. I thought the savii was appropriate for the genre of the game, hope you like it.
