THIS GAME [IS BAD] !!!(...)

I got this game the day it came out. I was really excited about it. I got this game in Virginia. We were on our way to Duluth which is an hour away. I opened the game right away and put it straight in my GBA. I played it for about half an hour. The beginning takes 15 minutes by itself. I got so dang bored of this sucky game. So when I was in Duluth I tried to return it but they said I can't return opened products. So I went and traded it in at FuncoLand(GameStop now)for army men sarges hero.

It uses the forbidden memory rules which suck. Even their cards are different. The really good effect cards are just normal monsters. You would be lucky if your deck capacity would even let you put it in the game. You start out with a horrible deck that can't beat anyone. Not even Tristan. And you need to win to get money to either buy cards of pay to import your cards into the game. You can't even put the good cards that you already won from some one because your deck can only have a certain limit of good cards. Even the role playing part sux. They make it so you have to beat that one girl with the teddy bear wanting The Blue Eyes White Dragon and her cards suck but you still don't have enough good cards to beat her ever. Let me refraise that. You don't have any good cards and you probably never will. I know I won't because I will never play it again.

Even their promo cards suck. Who has a Dark Magician Girl any way. If you don't have that card it makes the sage stone worthless. Then who is going to use up room in their deck for a card that makes you offer your Dark Magician to summon the Dark Magician Knight which can only destroy one cards on the field when it is summoned and it can only be summoned by Knight's Title which makes you offer you dak magician.

Do not waste your money on this crappy game. By The world championship tournament game instead for all the newest cards. Or if you wanted to use your cards by worldwide edition but you can only use the first five booster packs. But never by this game or sacred cards. Reshef the destroyer is just a sequel to Sacred cards.Don't waste you money on this horrible game.

If I could I would have rated this game a negitive five out of five.

first impressions of the game itself

The opening sequence sets up the game (and might even hint at something in the upcoming "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie" feature (due in theaters Aug. 13th.) It seems (unless my eyes deceived me) Maximillion Pegasus may be responsible for awakening the 'Reshef' (dark being) of the game's name.

As for gameplay, it feels and looks a lot like Sacred Cards, though I think the character models are improved somewhat. The cursor, which is used to select cards (to play, examine, etc.) has an annoying habit of whirling around the playing field during the duel though, and it can become a bit bothersome. The other feature I will complain about was a carry-over from Sacred Cards (and originally found in Forbidden Memories on the PS One): "alignment matches." That simply means that light-type monsters seem to always beat fiends, water beats fire, etc. The first time you get Beast of Talwar on the field (7 stars in game, 6 stars in real card game) and it attacks a Magician of Faith (resulting in Beast getting blown up), you'll fully understand what I mean. It's something that can be worked around, though you will want to avoid rushing into duels with named characters (like Rebecca and Duke Devlin) because the deck you start out with is weak except for the tribute monsters. Deck capacity can be worked around too, although it is somewhat time consuming and annoying to do so, like with Sacred Cards. However, if you're more into the "hardcore rules" (e.g., using a deck-destruction style deck and activating flip effects/sacrificing that monster), you'll probably get more out of World Championship Tournament 2004. In the end though, with some effort and patience, it's a rewarding experience for any Yu-Gi-Oh fan; and, it may well perk your interest in the upcoming movie (which also shows Pegasus in the trailer at least.)

Better than Sacred Cards

The person below me says the games sucks now is that true? Well consider these facts this game is a RPG/Card Game. Therefore if you don't like walking around and talking to others don't buy it. But I myself like it. It contains the story after Battle-City and a brand new chapter.

The Promo cards are Dark Magician Knight, Knight's Title, Sage's Stone which are excellent combos to the Dark Magician deck. If you don't want these you can sell them for a nice price. Overall get the game if you like Duel Monsters, promo's make it more worth it.

Love the idea, but execution lacks severely

This is a good idea for a game. I got it when it came out. The idea of having a sequel for Sacred Cards is fine. Yet the execution leaves alot to be desired. The starting deck is definitely for beginners and is difficult at first against the more advanced people in the game (Kaiba (if you could duel him straight away), Rebecca (she's a brat anyway), and at first Duke). You can't get decent cards to start with simply because you have to earn the cards. That's fine. If you could walk in with cards like Jinzo in your beginning deck, the game would be beaten in 15 minutes. Card effects are also changed. Along with this garbage about types. Or whatever Konami wants to call it. If you are wanting a game that follows the true TCG rules, this is NOT for you. If you just love Yugioh, then collect it. The cards that come with it are worth the price alone.

I had 60 bucks burning a hole in my pocket and I wanted a game badly. Seeing this was a sequel for Sacred Cards I gave it a try. I bought this along with Rise of Nations for the PC.
15 minutes in I knew this game wasn't going to do any honors to the anime. The dueling is worse in this game than in Sacred Cards. You get no good monsters at the start and at the game shop(owned by Yugi's Gramps) there's no good cards to buy. And without any good cards you can't win easily at duels. Also the cursor has an annoying habit of whirling around the playing field after every time you do a command.
Nearly 30 minutes later I got bored, annoyed and just plain mad that I wasted 30 bucks on a piece of junk. The only good thing that came out of me buying this was I got Rise of Nations as well. So I threw this away and hopped on the computer to play my RTS game.
Don't buy this game unless you're just getting it for the Cards.
The Promo cards are Dark Magician Knight, Knight's Title, Sage's Stone which are fairly good combos to a Dark Magician deck.

THIS GAME SUCKS

This game isn't worth the money you'd end up payin' for it. The only real reason to buy this game would be for the promo cards. If you want a real good Yu-Gi-Oh game, get the World Championship Tournament 2004 game.

Awesome game, awesome cards.

While this game is called the sequel to "The Sacred Cards" they arent really related except in the style of gameplay. The game would undoubtedly be better if it started where the Sacreed Cards left off, but thats a different issue.
The game's story may be its weakest point. You, Joey and Yugi have to get back the millenium items to revive the god cards to seal the "Reshef" away. But once you get into the game. The dueling is loosely based on the card game (loosely meaning, a lot of the effects are wrong but the rules are the same), and you can walk around the world dueling people from the t.v. show. The cards are hard to get though. I've been playing for hours and I still don't have the money to get a single Blue-Eyes White dragon. But if you save your money and get swords of revealing light a long with a strong monster or two, you can go far. You get Slifer (the first god card) very early in the game, so swords of revealing light comes in handy. once you get a god card, though, it becomes impossible to have as strong no-tribute monsters as the opponent. So your magic cards play a huge role.
Now on to the promo cards. Reshef of Destruction comes with three great cards for a dark magician deck: Dark Magician Knight, Knight's Title and Sage's Stone. If you have a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, then this is one of the best combos you could find. With those cards in your deck, you can have a second turn Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on the field. On the third turn you could take out any card in the game for a direct attack by a 2500/2100 monster. I'll explain.
Sage's stone is a spell card that lets you special summon a Dark Magician from your deck or hand. It can only be played if a Dark Magician Girl is face up on the field. Knight's title is a card that special summons a Dark Magician Knight by sacrificing a Dark Magician. Dark Magician Knight is a 2500/2100 monster that has an effect:"This card cannot be normal summoned or set. This card cannot be special summoned except by the effect of "Knight's Title". If this card is special summoned successfully, select one card on the field and destroy it."
The game is great for yugioh fans, and the cards are a must have for any duelist with a Dark Magician.

People may that this game is crap but if you like to walk around in games and not just duel different people all the time this game is for you. This is just my opinion but this game is like the sacred cards. You walk around and challenge people to duel. Now that is better than the world tournement isn't it?
