    This game was pretty bad but its kind of addicting. On the other hand the show is almost the opposite: I'm addicted to not watcing it.

    It's okay too easy in the begging, and needs battle city rules.

    I, Kestrel Swift, a. k. a. Eternal Duelist, have dreamed of entering the World Championship Tournament, and there's no better way than in Yu-Gi-Oh!? The Eternal Duelist Soul!!!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite Game Boy Advance game, my favorite Konami game, and my overall favorite game! It gave me my nickname!!

    Enjoyable game but to make it challenging they allow it to 'cheat' instead of giving it good AI. In the later duels the opponent obviously knows when it cannot attack a face down card. Knowing the game has to cheat is a little disapopinting.

    This game is fantastic. You don't have to earn starchips to get cards you want like in Forbbiden Memories but its annoying when battling friends when it says wait a moment.

    This game is great! It beat dark duel stories and forbidden memories, the only thing that is annoying is that sometimes the battles are boring and the thing always asks you "do you wish to play a quick play magic or a trap card?'' that can be annoying sometimes. It's good overall.

    Game play can be faster by holding L and R at the same time in the beginning. This game needs more people to duel. Great job on creating the DuelistKingdom Tornament. My deck is unbeatable!!!

    This is alright at the start if you don't know how to play it. but once you get the hang of it, it's fun to play. compared to the world wide edition it's pretty sweet for a trading gard game on GBA.

    Great Game, Nice simulation to a real duelist! Except it sucks how the duelists dont attack always and run into your trap! Or how they know that if a face down monster has high defense or not, that SUCKS!! Consider this a good game though!!!

    If you had a movable person and you can walk to the person it'd be better. Like it was a square with different enviroments when you get new people. And a that opens up when you get new people. And you can just walk to the people.

    This game makes me become a better duelist by this game,but I really think that you should put Black Luster Soldier and Magician of Black Caos to make the game a whole lot intrestng, don't get me wrong because in the tv show they had made it to a card.This game is definitely the best game from all the Yu-Gi-Oh games and other games!!!!!!!!

    Its disapointing because all you do is play the same CPU over and over again but the CPU has a different deck each time (when you pick a new enemy to face) and they progressively get harder. While it is addicting to play, Its addictiveness can only make up for so much.

    In this Game Boy Advance version, "Yugi" fans can duel against dozens of opponents from the TV series or link up with another Game Boy Advance player to duel head-to-head and to trade virtual cards.

    It does give you the closest thing you can get to playing the card game without sucking your bank account dry, and the card game really doesn't need much added to it in order to be fun.

    I was amazed just how quickly I caught on to the rules and effects of the cards in the deck. While I would have been more comfortable with a tutorial option, the game's so simple to understand it almost doesn't need one. Almost.
