Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul, this game brings back a lot of memories for me. It was the first Yu-Gi-Oh! game I had ever owned and I loved it, the game centers around you being a duelist, you must first choose a starter deck then you are sent directly to a menu with the options Campaign, Deck Edit, Calender, Record etc. If you choose Campaign you will see the first four duelist you can face Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Tea and Bakura. They are all fairly easy but you have to beat them a set amount of times to move on to more challenging duelists. Every time you defeat one you are given a screen where you choose from a list of packs and you get five new cards. A new feature that was added to this game that I found interesting was the Calender, on certain days on the calender you will see that there will be a tournament so you get to randomly face one of the opponents that you have unlocked and win some very rare cards, also there are magazine subscr Another thing I really liked about this game is the fact that while you are playing, it is like an average duel with your friends unlike Dark Duel Stories where you just throw out monsters and hope for the best. This game actually has strategy behind it, and at times it can make the game more challenging. I rated this game a 10, like I said before I owned this game at one point and really loved it. It made me feel like I was an extremely good duelist if given the correct cards. And I think the only thing that did bug me about the game was that you were given God cards randomly but couldn't use them, I mean why? It just didn't make sense to me, because all you could do was just look at them. Anyway, I rated the graphics of this game an 8, they where really good and the mouths of the characters even moved while you read their dialogue. The cards looked pretty good, the only thing I didn't like was the moving background of the dueling field it often made me feel dizzy and sometimes just flat out got on my nerves. For the sound of the game I rated it a 7, it could just be me but at the beginning I really liked the music and enjoyed listening to it but after a while I just wanted it to stop. The music eventually got stuck in my head and drove me crazy. It is a nice catchy tune at first, but then it turns into the tune of death. As the for addictiveness I rated this game a 9, when I first got the game I just could not put it down. I even stopped playing my Pokémon games for a while so I could focus more this game. I was hooked, it is fun and a great way to test your skills as a duelist and if you are a new up and coming duelist this game is a great way to figure out how to play the duel monsters card game. As far as depth goes I gave this game a 7, it is a pretty long game considering you do the same things over and over again. Once you get to the last set of duelists you will soon find out that there is really no official way of beating the game and you just go back and keep dueling over and over the people you already beat or just start a whole new file. The difficulty I gave a 7 as well, because at the beginning (like most games) when you are dueling Yugi and Tea and company, you will see that they are super easy and can be defeated in no time. But as you move on and face more people like Marik the game becomes harder, the hardest opponent that I remember is the duel computer, it's deck was suppose to be constructed to be a perfect match against your deck making him harder and harder to face each time, but once you get into the groove and beat him a few times he is really no problem at all. Overall, this game was an amazing addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise and I hope that one day they make either a remake or another game just like this one. I had a great time playing the game, and reviewing it. And I really hope this review inspires you to pick up the game and try it out for yourself. I might even begin a new file again, it was very entertaining the first few runs I had of the game and I would recommend this game to any Yu-Gi-Oh! fan young or old.

XxEzraxX : Nice review. I'm on the borderline when it comes to yu-hi-oh. I don't hate it but it isn't my favorite thing out there. But I guess I can try to play this...eventually. Again nice review. |
