    It’s not exactly a sequel, but more of a standalone expansion pack with improved gameplay. Get it!

    Other than the addition of a few hundred more cards, a slight tweak in pace, and a new style challenge interface, there's not much change to the overall game design. It's still a great strategy game.

    What this game lacks in glitz and glamour, it makes up in structure, skill and longevity.

    Simply what a game is supposed to be. No tricks, gimmicks, and no need for hype. It's pure, addictive, mind-buzzing gameplay.

    Diehard fans will probably find the added cards and light quest mode to be worth the investment, but casual "Yu-Gi-Oh" players who already have "Eternal Duelist Soul" may not want to shell out $30 just for a minor update.
