    An excellent game, but I would have to recommend Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel to Yu-Gi-Oh! fanatics over this game.

    The RPG side of the game is limited to running around town and finding opponents to duel, but the duelist leveling system does add a new wrinkle to the gameplay.

    Regardless of your skill, everyone will be thankful for the improved battle interface. [Feb 2004, p.114]

    While the basic Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay is here, with some nice new visuals, the overall experience has been far too simplified with easy AI opponents and little motivation to improve one’s deck.

    A drastic step backwards from what the past two Yu-Gi-Oh games established on the Game Boy Advance.

    Casual Yu-Gi-Oh fans may not find enough new in the game to make it worthwhile. [Feb 2004, p.155]

    Not only virtually unplayabe for non-fans but I find it extremely difficult, almost impossible to recommend to fans, period.
