If you liked WC2004, you'll REALLY like this game.

This is the 2nd (that I know of) game for the GBA that uses the rules for the actual card game (duel monsters). If you bought World Championship 2004, you'll like this game.
There are a lot of things different about it: you have to walk around to choose someone to duel, and you can talk to them if you want to, as compared to WC2004 where you just pick a name from a list.
In this new game, you get "duel points" after you win a duel, which you can exchange for packs of cards, as compared to the old game where you just got a pack of cards. I like the new way better because you can save up your points and buy a "box" of packs, or even another starter deck.
One main bonus of the new game is the Password feature: for a mere 1000 duel points (it takes about 3 duels to earn that much), you can enter in the number that appears in the bottom-left corner of any [real] Yu-Gi-Oh! card, and if it exists in the game, you can buy it. If you don't have any real cards, you can easily find a list of all the cards and passwords on the internet.
I bought 3 new GBA games a couple days ago, and I've played this one BY FAR the most. If you like dueling with real Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with real people and going to real tournaments, you'll like this game. You can also link up with someone else who has this game, just like in WC2004.
About the restricted cards: Every time you go home to 'sleep' in the game (that's how it saves), the "day of the week" changes. There is a different restricted list for each week. There might be 6 cards on the list, or only 1. The cool part is, if you don't like the restricted list (like, if they restricted your favorite card), you can just save the game ('sleep') 7 times in a row and presto, you have a different restricted list.
Number of decks: In the old game, you could only have 3 different decks at a time. In this new game, you can have A LOT!!!! I haven't scrolled down the list yet, but you can have at least 6 or 7 different decks. Awesome.
If you like playing duel monsters (not masters), you'll like this game. If you like watching the tv show and you only collect the cards and don't actually duel anyone with them, then this game might not be for you.
I really liked WC2004, but I like this game even better.

Another item on the list of buy for the cards, not the game

VERY ANNOYING.

This game even starts off annoying. You must BUY your opening deck with duel points that you start with. Now, that is okay but when the starter decks are Yugi's original, Seto's original, and Joey's, then that is a little rough given this game goes by the NEW rules. The first time you try to get into a duel, you are penalized and cannot duel because the deck has Monster Reborn or Dark Hole or Ring of Destruction. All illegal cards now. So you have to take out those cards and put in crappy monsters (1400 or less attack) and try to duel people so you can get points to get more cards.

Given that there are NO easy matches in here (even Tristan will kick your butt this time), getting points is VERY hard. Not to mention you have to go to your house after you do win and sleep to save your win because I've not found that it auto-saves yet. And each time you sleep, the day of the week changes. So basically, you get 1 duel a day unless you push your luck and risk more.

This entire game series is really getting to the point of not being worth messing with. If I didn't have to give it at least one star, I wouldn't bother. It's a sad day for those of us who love the Yugioh franchise.

purty good

I bought this game for my son so he could duel on his own. He spends a lot of time with the game, it is his new favorite, so it must be pretty good. It looks a little boring to me, but I am not really into dueling.

I think not

This game was so boring when it came out. It was all hyp nothing more. the AI still sucks, the cards you get suck even the whole RPG theme it has going sucked. Like one someone said you get your first starter deck and you think your ready to go nope, some little loser starts bothing you and telling you that the cards in your deck aren't meant for dueling so you have to discard them from your deck. The game is slow the whole thing about resting is boring , dueling a dog is stupid and i still wonder why we're still useing some guy we dont even know. The guy has goku hair if you look at it, im serious. But over all the game is a waste of money. If you want to dish out cash you might as well send it to me.
