This is spoiler free, don't worry.

I'm about 5 and a half hours in, I've got 2 Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter Djinn, and 3 Mars Djinn, and also found 2 Summon Tablets. I have to say.. much like the 2 before it, which pushed the graphical limitations of the GBA, Dark Dawn does the same for the DS. The graphics and animation are amazing, with all characters and enemies being fully animated 3-D models each with their own item using, spell casting, attacking, and death animations, and it all goes together beautifully. Everything feels very fluid, and the spell animations are some of the best I've seen. Not just on the DS, but in RPG's in general, and the summons... oh man, the summons. They are absolutely amazing looking.

In terms of gameplay, it's everything you've come to love from the previous Golden Sun titles, and so much more. New puzzles, new Psynergy granting items, expertly designed dungeons, and cleverly (almost mean) hidden Djinn. The combat, of course, is the traditional turn based battle system that the Golden Sun series has mastered.

Now, for the people who have not yet played this game.. think for a minute how good this game will be..... go ahead, give it a nice thought.

Now multiply that thought by 10, and you've got about half the amount of SuperAmazingAwesomeness that Dark Dawn delivers.

If you have played (and beaten) the previous 2 Golden Sun games, this game shouldn't give you too much trouble in Japanese, if you do not know the language. The downside, of course, is not being able to understand what people are saying, which is a very pleasurable part of Golden Sun. You'll still be able to tell what's going on in terms of story, though.

My score for the game is... (Let's see.. my thought of the game is "It will be amazing".. so now I gotta multiply that by 10... which gives me... Super DUPER amazing... okay, let's go with that)

A "Super DUPER amazing" out of 10. And remember... that's only half of the amount of awesome this game delivers. Oh, and there are 83 total Djinn to collect. Let that sink in. Eighty-three.

I skipped town and went to the red Chinese looking place. I went straigh to the palace where Heart is, and that girl gives you a scroll, then you fall down the hole. I got back up to the town and now the guards won't let me back into the palace and I have no idea where to go next, please help.

You have to leave town and proceed down.

To the place with all the water? I went there but I have no clue what to do there either, there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can go.

Did you show the scroll and then use whirlwind on the raft to make your way across the water?

Depends on what card you use. The only cards that are working at the moment are AKAOI, R4 Wood 1.15, and DStwo.

Go to the water place to the south west of that town. Talk to the guards, and it will bring up your menu automatically. Choose the scroll you got.

Mix up your Djinn so that Matthew (Your main character) has Fireball. After that, bring up your menu, go to Psynergy, choose fireball, and blow up big flowers.

You equip it to Tyrell and use it to drain the water.

Tyrell (Fire Adept) is the only one who can equip it. Give it to him and have him equip it to learn Evaporate.
