I really wanted this game to be great. Guess it was too much to ask for.
You know a game is bad when it's visuals are better than it's gameplay. In essence- what's the point? It's like watching a bad movie. And I say this honestly- the Yu-Gi-Oh games are better than this. Not to say that the
Yu-Gi-Oh games are bad, but if you have ever played one, you know that the production values aren't very high (they don't have to be, but at least they know what they're doing- more exp.).
One thing that's good about this game though, is that it's addicting, but for the wrong reason: the game is WAY too hard. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but my opponent gets all the right cards at the right time, on a consistent basis. What's even more frustrating is that you can play with the same decks as your opponents, on the easiest mode, and could swear to god that the game cheating.
But as I said. It is addicting none the less. One other thing, which I don't know how much longer I can tolerate along with the difficulty issues, is the deck management system- you can only use certain cards in certain decks (only 17 extra)! WHY STAINLESS STEEL GAMES!? WHYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!? And you only get one card for winning some duels- never more than one at a time- and, this is more opinion than anything, but the duels go too slow for the 1 card reward you get afterwards.
Overall: The game is too hard, there aren't enough cards and options to do with them, and the rewards aren't satisfactory. Oh, but the graphics are pretty though... the downloadable content better be above and beyond what's already in this game. I can't recommend this game to anyone that has a soul.
