This game is a must. Konami takes the wonderful Eternal Duelist Soul up a notch. In Eternal Duelist you dueled in the town of Domino for plain fun. Here, it’s Battle City. Duel new characters like Yugi’s Grandpa, Bandit Keith, an improved Tea, and a new rare hunter: Odion.
Plus, Stairway to the Destined Duel has zones. You can move from zone to zone, challenging duelists and finding an occasional random tournament here and there. And you can do all this in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, or Japanese.
The cards from Eternal Duelist Soul return, but there’s a new addition!(drumroll please!) Behold! Labyrinth of Nightmare Cards!
Your favorite cards like Destiny Board, Torrential Tribute, and Bell of Destruction can now be used!
This is a pretty cool game. It is a good game to get if you don’t have any other Yu-Gi-Oh games, but if you have any others (besides Dark Duel Stories) this game isn’t REALLY worth buying. For you collectors, there’s Valkyrion The Magna Warrior, Sinister Serpent, and Harpie’s Feather Duster in the game box.

Konami does it again!being so far the 6th Yugioh video game,and 3rd gameboy yugioh game, its nearly perfect!There are only 2 things I don’t like about it and they are:1.Its easy as a beginner to accdently run in to powerful duelist like Y.yugi or Seto Kabia on the world map.2.You don’t really walk around in it.
But even though you can’t walk around in it it is still a great game!You baiscly find each availible duelist on each day.You talk to passengers to make the day go by or you can duel.Every monday you even get a magezine with five cards!Because it takes place in battle city,there is always somethig fun to do.But watch out for rare hunters!Any die-hard yugioh fan should buy this game…

I have never played Yu-Gi-Oh the card game or any previous Yu-Gi-Oh game. I am 29 years old and played pokemon extensively with my newphews during one crazed summer of their youth as well as have dabbled in “Magic: The Gathering” and previously the pen and paper role playing games as a kid.
About 1 month ago I purchased a Gameboy Advance SP and bought Wolfenstein (3-D Shooter), Shining Soul (like the first Diablo only with nes/snes anime graphics). My games quickly exhausted I went backwards to Pokemon the Trading Card game for gameboy color which also sticks out funnily in a gameboy sp. If wasn’t too bad but I found the challenge and depth of real play fairly lacking. SO I READ AND RESEARCHED THE NET, READ REVIEWS CALLED MY NEPHEWS AND BOUGHT THIS GAME. Now I play almost too much.
I left off the sound used the passwords for certain cards to make a respectable deck based on the 20 monster 10 magic 10 trap card reccomendation and still preceeded to lost most of my starting games. Frustrated I almost sold the game. I figured a 29 year old should clear any kids game instantly. Well without resorting to outright cheat codes to get multiple copies of the best cards I continued to play and learned the game on the fly. I now can read the different behaviors or card play from the many different duelists and am winning 90% of my games two weeks later. There are also some excellent cards I have gotten from won matches that have no codes and have helped my deck alot. This game has become very addictive yet challenging if you face the tougher duelists. While I doubt any Yu-Gi-Oh tournament expert would struggle, this game has already paid for itself in challenge, fun, and replayability many times over. If you buy it and think its too easy keep playing till you get the unlocked characters, if it seems to hard keep playing some of the easier players. A couple dozen matches in and you’ll start feeling like an expert. (If you don’t play card games like this in real life I would reccomend the game for 12+). Till I find a better card game I can carry around, play by myself and save thousands versus holding all these cards in my hand I’ll be burning up the lithium-ion batteries of my SP hoping the cartridge will come out one day when I finally bore of it.

Well to start, when I bought this game I knew it was going to be good and it was. First of all with the game comes 3 limited edition rare cards, Harpies Feather Duster-destroys all of your opponent’s magic cards, Valkrion the Madnet Warrior- compined all 3 magnet warriors to form him with 3,500 ATK and 3,800 DEF, last is Sinister Serpant- when he goes to the graveyard he is sent back to your hand at the next stander base any time you whant. All 3 cards are really good and if you what to buy them separated they cost [a lot] so you saved money…Well now to the game. This game has a battle city map where you go and duel many characters. I liked it because it’s like the real thing in realy life. For example, theres a map and you see people to fight to and you do also days past by and theres tournaments. I liked it because you can get all 3 God cards but it is so hard to get them, I still didn’t get not even one but at least I know I can get one. I recommend this new game for everybody and it is tons of fun!!

General:
It’s the engine of the previous game, with a different interface.
Positives:
Harpy’s Feather Duster!!
Graphics are improved.
Gameplay during duels is faster, without holding the b button. Yes, the snail speed is gone, good work!
The initial decks are much better than in the previous game. The three are pretty much the same, with different distribution in the number of magic to monster to trap cards. They included a Dark Magician or two, a Summoned Skull, a Fusion and a Ritual Monster with RM Card (Ritual Magic). This is better than 15 monsters under 1500 ATK points, where monsters with 1200 ATK are a threat to most of your deck. Thumbs up to Konami for this design.
Harpy’s Feather Duster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harpy’s FD and Magnet Valkyrion will be selling on e-bay for 50 bucks a pop, I’ve seen the entire magnet warrior set advertised for $150. Makes the economics of this purchase easy.
Negatives:
It’s the same game with a different interface. This may be offset by the number of new monsters in the game, don’t know how many there are yet.
NO LORD OF D OR FLUTE OF SUMMONING DRAGON!!!!! What were they drinking when they decided to take those cards out of the game? Wonder what else is missing. Will find out after playing more.
Lacks originality.
AI still does not calculate the ATK difference with Mirror Wall in place, and attacks – just to lose?? There is no excuse for not fixing this design flaw, except faster production and quicker profits.
Still the same password system. It takes a while to build your actual deck in this game for practice. They should have a point system to “purchase” cards via passwords instead, and let serious players play their real deck in the game. Or why not even add the 4 starter packs as an option among the booster packs after winning a duel?
Overall:
Still fun dueling, not really different than the previous game. If you want to practice playing with the new boosters that are out, this is a must. If you play the actual card game, the cards with this game are worth the purchase.
Did I mention that Harpy’s Feather Duster is actually in here?
Younger players will like the interface and interaction with the TV show characters better.
