I enjoyed it, though I must admit the beginning was flat out boring and the tutorial was just kinda heavy...I kinda laughed when Issac ask you do you know how to use djinn and if you say yes he still teaches you anyway! lol
I really didn't get the points of the emotacons(mispelled) they really didn't nothing to progress the story other than some different dialogue depending on what you chose.
the story was pretty much thrown out the window: first your investigating those "black holes" that suck psynergy and tranform monsters...then you're stopping some evil civilization from drowning the world in darkness...but the ending did do the story some justice(and I can't wait for golden sun 4!!!) the only thing that made the story decent was metting past characters from the previous golden sun games.
the puzzle were very weak, but some of the battles were a lttile complex(mostly those shadow cretures)
I do like that party member now attack other targets if their has been defeated, also how weapons come with a variety of skills to master.(though I think getting the Gia blade and sol blade in one game was a bit overkill)
and they made a little less of a grindfest that the previous titles were(specailly Golden Sun)
I did love the new artwork/summon sequences/battle sequences/psynergy/ect(hopefully we'll have a dark adept in the next one)
GS:DD wasn't the best of the series(GS:TLA is imo) but I enjoy playing it(on my 4'th playthrough) I think golden sun 4 will be what GS:TLA was to golden sun
