Well I like the game alot. The storyline is ok...but to me it was like chess. Plus it made me use my brain for once. The graphics are cool lookin. The weird thing was I changed name to different names and got different decks. Try this game if you like stratagy games and of course Yu-Gi-Oh!.

its pretty good if you cheat in it according to my son. he looked passwords but he still thinks its hard!!! he also says it takes forever for him to rank up!!! the enemy has extremely good deck leader abilities lke lp recovery. Its only fun if you are very experianced (and cheat alot). Always rent this first
ps if you want the best deck type in for the name jeff, you get kaiser dragon 2100 atak as strongest with sky dragon 1900 attack
...Well it deserves some recognition

Before you say anything I am not a Yu-Gi-Oh card freak (sorry fan) and my younger brother bought this for one of my birthdays.
This game does have some historical content (war of the roses) and tries very hard to make you think that you have free will by letting you choose at the beginning whether you can be good or evil (With Kaiba or Yugi.)
That aside though, the rules are different to regular duelling. It involves a grid of sqaures where each card is moved like a piece on a chess board and you have to defend your king known as the leader of your deck. I'm used to complex rules in games and once you get to grips with the rules this can be quite a strategic game with advantages being affected by the terrain, monster affects and trap cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh nuts will love this...if you're not though you'll get bored in the end. But then again isn't that the case with everything?
Not what most people are expecting

First of all, ignore the backstory. This game could very easily have been set at any point in history; aside from inspiring the classical background music, the setting has as much influence on gameplay as in any Yu-Gi-Oh game: nil.
Duelists of the Roses is a cross between Duel Monsters, Dungeon Dice Monsters and shogi (not chess). Duels are fought on a 7x7 board; you have a Deck Leader that represents your encampment, and from there summon monsters from your hand to the board to fight for you. Monsters move around in different ways and the boards and comprised of varied (and mutable) terrain, so there is a great deal of maneuvering to lure your opponents onto ground that will favor you.
Aside from the fusion mechanic, which combines specific weak monsters to make stronger ones and requires experimentation and taking notes, the game is remarkably simple and -- provided you have the manual or the strategy guide -- easy to learn. (Do NOT attempt to play it without either. The in-game tutorial is terrible.)
Overall the game is fun, although very hard at first ... for the most part I see this as being a two-player game, with the NPC opponents as a means of training. (Once you have a decent deck you can stomp the AI in any match.) I'd recommend it more to wargamers and strategy gamers than Yu-Gi-Oh fans, though. Really, it's far more fun against an opponent who can actually think, and I don't believe there is any online play function.
