The Ultimate Game!!!

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.

Good game, nothing new

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.

Carry the best card dueling game around in your pocket!

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. :-)

This game is the best!!

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!!

Best Yu gi oh game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I got this game on 1/18/04. so I just started. Its really great!!!. It follows the offiicial rules EXCACTLY!! but sometimes they dont let you activate Mirror Force or 7 tools of the Bandit whenyou should be able to.

Positives:

You get Harpies Feather Dduster, Valkyrion and Sinister serpent

When you duel, use passwords, or look at your deck and trunk its EXACTLY like eternal duelist soul.

Follows official rules

Can use labyrinth of nightmare cards like Destiny Board, Dark Necrofear and Magic Cylinder etc.

can duel hard people in the beginning.

you get good cards in the beginning like Imperial Order

Negatives

no LOD PGD MFC or DCR.

Opponents are stupid and try to play magic cards when I have Imperial Order

Booster packs suck

If you want to have a yugioh game following the official rules buy this. Its like Eternal duelist soul.

Yugioh World Wide Edition

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...

Battle City on the GBA

Konami and Nintendo have made a great YUGIOH game in the tradition of Dark Duel Stories and Eternal Duelist Soul. The gameplay is brilliant, the graphics are wonderful, and the story is cool.
You enter battle city and duel many people from the YuGiOh TV show. You can duel favorites like Kiaba, Yugi, Mai, and others, or duel people who don't even duel on the show, like Tea, or Mokuba.
The gamplay a lot better from previous YUGiOh games. Instead of looking at sheets of duelists, you get a map of battle city and choose duelists from that.
Another thing that makes this game cool is that there are a bunch of rare hunters to duel. You can also duel Marik, or Dark Joey and Tea controlled by Marik.
I would advise you to get this game. It's worth the money.

worth the buy?

world wide edition is a great game. the promos are harpies feather duster sinister serpent and valkyrion the magna warrior. Over all the game play is pretty good and it is fun and challenging to unlock new packs and characters. The game is revolved around battle city and the rare hunters. The strategy and story to the game is great but there are some bad things
Pros- helps you master the game, current sets, and fun to play
Cons- there are some glitches throughout the game (ex. the game freezing when certain dice cards are used) and the graphics are not the best up to date, also after a while the music gets a bit annoying
But overall this is a good game that most kids will enjoy. :)

A Great Way to Learn Duelling

First of all, I'm an adult woman in her 40s. Every summer, my nephew asks me to learn about something new. Last year it was Bionicles, the year before it was Pokemon. This year? Yup! Yu-Gi-Oh!

I found this game to be a wonderful way to learn about duelling. If you're new to playing the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, I'd definitely recommend this game AND the Prima Guide. The guidebook explains the background, storyline, and rules of the game, and also gives the passwords to all of the cards (which can be helpful when the random draw doesn't produce the Vorse Raider or Gemini Elf that you're looking for!)

For those who are new to Yu-Gi-Oh: don't be put off by the apparent complexity of the game (especially if you're evolving from a simpler game such as Pokemon). It doesn't take long to learn how to duel, especially since this game offers helpful hints and reminders based on the cards in your hand. I found this feature to be especially useful for me.

Midway through playing this game, I had to loan my Gameboy to my nephew, whose unit had broken two days before he was scheduled to be locked up in an SUV with his family for a long trip. I went into immediate Yu-Gi-Oh withdrawal! This is a wonderful game for the beginner, because it teaches the TCG according to the official tornament rules, and is challenging enough to serve as a practice arena for more experienced duellists too.

Pretty Good

This game is pretty good, there are many characters you can duel (last time I counted over 25) and many kinds of tournaments you can participate in,the hardest ones are the Challenge Cup and the Kaiba Corp tournament. After a while you will start having duels called limited duels, for example in one of them you can't use any magic/traps, one of them limits you from playing monsters with over 1000 attack... Those are really hard and fun, after you beat them all, your duels are unlimited (you can play 3 Monster Reborns, 3 Raigekis...) which is awesome. Another good thing in it is that you can type passwords of the cards and unlock them in the game... The cards are only up to Labyrinth of Nightmare, that's the only bad thing I can find in the game. My deck right now is unbeatable,I'll try to find a real challenge...
Hope this review helped you!
