Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Those of you that have played the last two will know how frikken glad I am that this game is in my hands. Don't get your hopes up yet, for all you know I may score it hard.

First, the game is old school, don't like text, too bad, don't like RPGs... why u reading this then? Still it's still the same well rounded battle system that people who've played know well. Story "events" are freely scripted so a base scripting of where and when is understandable, but the drop off points of no return are a bitch to figure out!

Second, the story events have text in red that tells you what they are when you touch them, good luck hitting them cause you will miss several, don't worry it's background info for first plays and story depth. It gets annoying very quickly.

Third, the battle system is turn-based gold, as expected, Djinn and Psyenergy is back, very epic summons made me... well to say it's epic is an understatement, JUDGEMENT! Weapons now have a limit power, use them enough and criticals and unleashed abilities.

Fourth, spoilers for fans, you've been warned
Here is non spoilers all Dijinn now have different looks, also there are now more than 72, but over the game you can only get 72 of them

Character stuff is spoilers

Damn that winded me, so what do I rate this game, 7.5 of 10 still it isn't a bad game to play even if you never played the first two, also for those who saved their GBA games to transfer don't bother

I haven't beat it yet so I didn't look at the spoilers but so far the game is awesome. I love that you can now have 72 Djinn which far exceeds the first two games. I like how the feel of the game is the same as in the first two, they didn't change too much. But I agree, if you like the first two then you'll definitely like this one.

there were 72 in the first two games, now there appears to be more, you're still limited to 72... so yeah

Piers(not seen) is a captain and major trader in the world... Nowell(in game for 5 mins) is currently stalking him... reverse pedophilia? Felix and Sheba aren't seen either.
