Is Golden Sun: Dark Dawn a great game bogged down by ill-considered design choices, or is it a mediocre game being buoyed by superb production values and sharp localization? Let's consider the facts. The first two Golden Sun games were instant fan-favorites on Game Boy Advance, but despite their popularity they were deeply flawed on several levels. They were painfully slow-paced, aesthetically unappealing, and plagued by some of the most mundane plotting and dialogue ever inflicted upon an RPG. While certainly not bad, they were bland and plodding: an attempt to recapture the spirit of a bygone era of game design that dredged up plenty of bad along with the good.
