Stratton, Stephen. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (Prima Official Game Guide). Roseville, CA : Prima Games, 2010.
Plot: A game guide for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for the Nintendo DS. The book provides maps, insights, and tips for the widely-anticipated game (the previous incarnation was published about seven years ago).
Genre: Video Game Guides
Reading Level: The game is rated E10+
Similar Titles: The Prima game guide collection
Personal Thoughts: The guide is useful, but has room for improvements. The maps clearly note locations of important items and offer much-needed guidance through the complex dungeons of the game. However, the guide also consists of many spoilers (excessive notes about the plot) and notes on all encyclopedia entries. While the entries are useful, particularly to series newcomers, they do not assist with game completion. Notes on move availability or class statistics would be much more beneficial. So, while it provides useful guidance, it could offer more.
