Good day everyone and welcome to my review of Yu-Gi-Oh! - Worldwide Edition - Stairway to the Destined Duel on the gba. This is one of the many Yu-Gi-Oh! games released on gba since most of the gba games with the series is usually the card focus instead of board games.

History: The franchise started in 1996 as a card game which later got an anime series which spanned generations. For the sake of this review i'll just stick to the original series Which nearly every gba Yu gi oh game is part of. I'll explain the gameplay in the game play part. I also may give a shout out to the manga series as well since its a bit darker than the anime in some aspects (Please read the manga to find out what i mean) The game plays like the card game in real life. Despite how tricky the game has gotten like with complicated effects to new game styles

Gameplay: The game plays like the how the card game works with players starting off with 8000 life points. The goal is to take your opponent's life points down to zero By attacking the foe with your Monsters. The monsters can be summoned or the more powerful one will need to give up a monster or two or a few to play a very powerful monster. The cards show different colours that has ways to work. Yellow Monster cards doesn't do a thing besides attacking, Orange are the effect monsters, Dark blue are ritual monsters. Green spell cards, Purple as the trap cards. Granted there are other ways to win like getting the 5 cards of exodia on hand (forgive me if that's a spoiler) Zero cards left or another cards. The game lets you get to pick who you want to face. The game uses anime characters with their own decks and tricks they will pull off to defeat you. Upon defeating a player you get a chance to open a booster pack with a few cards at random. You also get free cards from the magazine on mondays and the password for the cards where you have to put a number in and you'll get a card with that number.

Graphics: The game looks ok for the gba. With a basic map and icons with passengers or the characters from the anime. Which they look great especially with the monsters they are their icon which you only see if you lost to them.

The music is ok my guess nothing to write home about. You get a song when your in the map or dueling, talking to a duelist or getting a card.

The game can be pretty tough depending on how you set your deck up. The cards being shuffled With you getting the best cards right out of the hand or cards you can't use yet. Which leaves you open to some major life point loss or the entire match. Not to mention the spells and traps your Opponents will lay down to hinder you. As well able to summon the strongest monster. But always trust your deck and the heart of the cards you'll be able to win if you're lucky.

The only reason the story is left out is due to the only goal is to be the best duelist in the battle city Nothing more.

This kinda wraps up my review of the game i hope to see you guys soon happy gaming everyone!

Its funny how I never played the video game of this anime, but then I would watch it, and also play the card games. Its sad I never got into any Yu Gi Oh games. Thank you for doing a review on this game. I feel most anime I watch either some or most I don't play the game on or I forget too.
