    This game is probably the most well executed titles in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

    It has every version, as well as tutorials to help understand the game. The script is on point, and the gameplay is just as satisfying as playing it in real life. The constant pop-ups are always frustrating, however it needs to be there to work.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just good but lacks of voice acting. Legacy of the Duelist is probably the most satisfying Yu-Gi-Oh video game I've ever played. I played the GBA games back when those were big, and this game is much more detailed (and has over 6,000 cards to collect). You also get to relive the duels of all five generations of the Yu-Gi-Oh TV series (Duel Monsters, GX, 5D's, Zexal, and a little bit of Arc-V). But I don't really care about any of those except for the original Duel Monsters series, since that was the one I grew up with. It covers a decent amount of that show, but not as much as I had hoped (the Noah arc isn't there at all, and I think there's a bunch of other stuff missing too). That said, most of the battles you care about are there from the beginning of the show up through the Battle City season. You can either use the story deck or your own custom deck for each duel, and you can even play as the opposing side if you want (giving you a chance to use Pegasus' deck against Yugi, rather than the other way around).… Expand

    If you are looking for a straight good Yu-gi-oh game, then this is the one to get. It has online play, a good story mode, with interesting match ups, and is very worth the $20 price tag. Very nostalgic, for those of us who stopped playing a while ago, and really fun. Also, you can play sealed and draft formats, which is a first for me in yugioh video games.

Also, you can play sealed and draft formats, which is a first for me in yugioh video games. Basically, if you want to get off yugioh pro or duel network to a place where not everyone has every card in existence, and there's a bit more polish, then this is worth it.

    The only problem ive been having is finding a match for sealed format. Going to keep trying, and hopefully it works, because that was really half the reason I purchased it.

    Buy it if you are a yugioh fan who wants to play, but doesn't want to buy cards irl.    … Expand

    Do you enjoy playing yugioh? or perhaps enjoyed playing in the past? if the answer is yes then you should definitely pick this game up.I have 50 plus of gameplay I finished the campaign and playing multiplayer online at the moment which is solid by the way. I would also highly recommend this game to new people that want to get into yugioh cards

    I grew up on Yu-Gi-Oh when I was a child. I was 10 years old when the show and cards had released. I had fell in love at first sight and continued to play for 3 years. I had quit for about 6 years and then came back and the love is still there, even though many of the mechanics had changed. I do not like how the way 5ds turned out. But anyway, the game itself is great and has from what II grew up on Yu-Gi-Oh when I was a child. I was 10 years old when the show and cards had released.

I do not like how the way 5ds turned out. But anyway, the game itself is great and has from what I believe all of the cards minus some new ones. The minor complaint I do have is the lack of the new arc not being included, it is nice that the cards are there though. A few of the great adds are the reverse duels which add quite a lot of replayability and the challenge modes. There is also a lack of tag duels in the game which bothers me because they were in the last one. I might be able to understand that they removed it because people wouldn't play the other modes added but tag duels was a big thing. It is still a great game none the less. I would have given it a 9 if it had a tag-duel mode.… Expand

    It's a solid Yu-Gi-Oh! game and as someone who only played the original card game back in the days, the game offers neat little tutorials that introduce you to the new cards and mechanics that have been added over the years.

    In general I think Konami could've done better with the UI, once you get a lot of cards scrolling through becomes really painful and the search function could've been better. If you want to play a Yu-Gi-Oh! on the homeconsoles I'd recommend this one since there is no arbitrary paywall unlike the previous game on the PS3.    … Expand

    El juego perfecto para duelistas de yugi, sin historia extensa y aburrida simplemente las campañas de cada serie y listo, el juego te motiva a ganar y obtener puntos para desbloquear mazos lo cual hace que quieras jugar y jugar y jugar, y siempre vuelve esa nostalgia de la niñez cuando juegas con cartas clasicas, muy bueno la verdad.

Es ideal para probar mazos y combinaciones de cartas que a uno se le ocurran, los desafios de duelista estan muy bien ya que la IA pesee muy buenos mazos que rapidamente quieres armar y poder usar (aqui todo consiste en prueba y error, probar y sacar cartas como en la vida real). El problema que le veo es el de no poder desbloquear cartas a gusto (cuando ganas o compras el pack de cartas las que te vienen son al azar) por lo que gastas muchisimas horas jugando para obtener una carta que quieres y termina siendo muy frustante. No me gusta para nada el hecho de no incluir la campaña del arco 5 de yugioh aunque almenos hay cartas pendulo por lo que no es tan terrible. Excelente juego si lo que se quiere es revivir la infancia y eres fanatico de yugioh.… Expand

    Konami would do well in scouting out a new development team to handle the next Yu-Gi-Oh! game. With the last couple being workmanlike but unremarkable efforts, it's difficult to shake the feeling that without an overhaul the star of this particular CCG is only going to fade further. And that would be a pity, because the core card game remains one of the most strategic that we've ever seen.
