The story worked well for me as a kid, but every time I tried to replay it, I felt like there was WAY too much dialogue. Not that dialogue is a bad thing, but they were using way too many words to say something, and never seemed to get to the point.
But the soundtrack had a lot of memorable hits. I haven’t played the game in more than a decade, but I can still remember a few of the tracks. The GBA itself didn’t have the best sound production capabilities, but the compositions in Golden Sun are fantastic from what I remember.
I’ve played the original. Graphics and puzzles were outstanding, especially for so early in the GBA’s life.
But I found the music and story to be underwhelming. (Except for the Venus Lighthouse theme, that was quite the banger)
Is the second game better in those regards?
