    Good, but not great. Fans will have a great time though. Everyone else will be a little bored.

    It's hella fun but its hard to get a specific card out of da packs. Eternal Duelist was easier to use. But da cards are way better and its way funnier with the new cards cause da eternal duelist had lame cards!

    Great for fans of collectable card games but, probably not a lot of interest for others. It's a good alternative for when I'm not playing Magic The Gathering: Online.

    You can only make so many Yu-Gi-Oh games before they get terrible and this is a prime example of that. You have to grind out playing for hours in order to advance in the pathetic story and even then its over as soon as you know it. Its just another pathetic game imo.

    One of the best. Pretty good. Should start out with this series on GBA. Needs harder difficulties. Don't need to buy packs and just win them, makes it better than the future versions.

    After seeing the metascore for this game, I felt compelled to make an account just to write this and give it a 10/10. I had this game as a young teen and played it for hundreds of hours. It's addicting and completely engaging, and if I picked it up and started playing again I would still enjoy myself.

    This game is a masterpiece. I grew up playing this game as a kid and I still love it to death. The gameplay is amazing and addictive and I consider it to be one the best Yu-Gi-Oh games ever.

    Rock solid yu-gi-oh game based on the original era of cards. Plenty of cards, plenty of characters, an evolving meta, and a hidden secret plot. Let's go.

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

    A must-own title for fans of the cartoon and a strong buy for fans of strategy games in general. [Summer 2003, p.52]
