Golden Sun

Golden Sun is an RPG for the Gameboy Advance, and it has amazed people how good it is. This game has great graphics for the Advance, and a pretty good story. The game is not too short, and will take a while to beat.

The game starts with your mom shaking you awake because a huge boulder is falling to crush your town. The town elders are using their psynergy to hold it, but they can't hold out for very long. You run away, to where everyone is standing watching a boy named Felix drowning. You run to find someone with psyenergy left, and find some dude. You run to save him, but the boulder falls and crushes Felix and all the people watching. You run for help, and you and your friend Garret run into a couple of mysterious people, who see you eavesdropping and knock you out. The game continues three years later, and you, Garret, Jenna, Felix's sister, and an old man named Kraden set out on a quest to Sol Sanctum, where the boulder came from, and things progress from there.

You go through Sol Sanctum, and after you discover the four elemental stones that give the very psynergy to the world, the strange people that beat you up three years ago arrive and hold Jenna and Kraden hostage. Garret hands over the elemental stars of Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. Suddenly, the Sanctum rumbles. This big floating eye dude, the protector of the elemental stars, pops up. The evil guys, along with Jenna and Kraden, run off through the portal, and you and garret grab the Mars Star, and escape as the protector tries to hold the volcano under Sol Sanctum from exploding.

From here on in, you run from town to town, chasing after Saturos, Menardi, Felix, and Alex, the people who have stolen three elemental stars and have kidnapped your friends. You go on little side quests, meet other characters, like Ivan and Mia who join your party, and you battle through forests, caves, lighthouses, and other place. The battle sequences are about the same as other RPG's, except for some really cool psynergy attacks you can do. The game play is long enough to last a while, and is very fun and moderately challenging. This is really a great game.
