Your Move..make it a good one
I use to laugh at the Idea of a card battle. I thought how funny. I had made fun of my younger cousin for playing the real thing. How could people get so involved in a tedious battle of math. Well when this game came out and I had a DS I thought what could it hurt. Guess what I was so wrong that if I could Id punch myself and say I told you so.
First off in order to be good at this game youve got to be dedicated. Im not just saying that. Its kinda like playing hihg class chess, and you do develop favorite cards after a while. The effects, monster classes, fusions, everthing about the game of Yui gi oh is here and animated well. The only draw back is that the attacks could have been animated like in the show. Instead when an attack is initiated all you see is a slash.
First off for the uninitiated Yui gi oh is a card battle game in which you and an opponent "duel" in a game of wits, memory, skill, luck, and knowlegde of the cards. Sounds dramatic ..I know but it is. At every turn youlll find a card with mew abilities that spice up the game. The names of the cards the effects all of it sucks you in.
How this game plays on the DS? Hmmm seems like the two were made for each other like an oreo or peanut butter cup they mess together so finely.
The touch screen is your best but not only option. You collect your cards from the card shop. The game is taught to you here wether you know how to play or not. You assemble your deck(cards 40 to 80) that you choose. Choose carefully as the effects, amount, type, and other factors all come into play when "dueling". From here you use a little map and traverse it trying to build a rep for yourdelf by challenging others. Should you get good enough youll face off with members from the TV series in a bowl ladder type chamionship. Trust me when I say these battles get intense, complcated, and fierce. You have to play to see it. This game makes you care about whats going on I liken it to Spades meets chess only more complex than both because there are so many cards to collect and use. I have been playing for months now and still havent got all of them. My guess youll have to tradr with human players to get all of them.
Yui gi oh is represented well on the DS and like I said before seems almost made for it the way it plays and uses the dual screens and touch pad ability. This is a great game despite what anyone says and having played other versions after this one it is the best of its kind if you ask me. Pick it up is you have a DS Its got me hooked and I have games like Mario kart DS and New super mario bros so its no easy feet to have someone hooked over these games. Thanks for reading and PEACE OUT!!
