Golden Sun Dark Dawn

I got Golden Sun last Friday and already I've beaten (what I assumed to be) a pretty major boss. (I won't go into too much detail because my boyfriend has been for years for the new Golden Sun game to come out and doesn't want any spoilers) Naturally I couldn't wait for the day to be over so I could start on the game. Unlike other DS games I've played, I've only used walkthroughs when I was good and stuck, like I am now. The walkthrough I'm using at the moment is one from IGN.
So far, the game is ok. The battle style is very similar to that of Dragon Quest IX. Some things I like about Dark Dawn:
  • Characters' item bags have a higher limit than DQ9. This is also a bad thing, as anyone who is currently playing the game will find out.
  • There are no designated save points. The game menu has already taken care of it.
  • Psynergy Points only require the use of restore potions in emergencies.
  • The integration of puzzles into the storyline.
One thing I think the makers of Dark Dawn could have done was allow the player to design their own character.

All in all, good game.
