Dark Dawn
The Dijinn are back and summoning them shows some pretty nice views. These little cut scenes are also able to be skipped, so if you quickly grow tired of watching them; it just takes another button press to stop it. There are both old Dijinn and new ones in this installment. There are a total of a whopping 72 that you can find and use and a total of 30 summons. You dont need to collect them all and during your first play through you are bound to miss many of them.
If you missed the first two games you can find little books in the game that explain what happened in them. You dont really need this for anything, but it is a nice touch for those who have not played the previous ones.
To go along with the above statements at certain times certain words will be underlined in red. You can add these to your Encyclopedia to learn more about them. Such things as what Adepts are. There is a total of 179 of these.
I really enjoyed the world presentation and the map. They are nothing fancy but are very pleaseing to the the eyes. I find them better than what they where in the first two.
You can set your Psynergy to the left and right shoulder buttons.
I enjoyed the puzzles and use of Psynergy. I am not a big fan of Puzzles in most games. However I do expect this from Golden Sun and really like how whole temples are just one big puzzle. You also get to explore and figure out most temples with little interference from enemies.
Artifacts are back and you dont need to really farm to afford them.
You get to use new characters. With this there are many familiar faces.
I do want to say I did enjoy the story. However, I wont give anything away.
With different weapons you can master certain abilities
I enjoyed the option to use the stylus over buttons.
Things that annoyed me a bit.
The game starts out very talk heavy and a tutorial of sorts is built into the beginning of the game. This seems to happen a fair amount in the game with some dialogue going on longer than it really needed too.
I found it to be a bit easy, but that is very subjective.
It has points of no return.
I dont like scoring games, so I have no final score.
