Surprisingly fun

This game is very enjoyable. I got the demo from Shonen Jump and had to buy it. What i think some people may be overlooking is this game is meant to be a tutorial game for people who are new to the game. Example is someone who wants to try Yu-Gi-Oh! the card game and doesn't wanna spend a whole lot of money buying cards and then not understand it. With this game the tutorials are awsome very good for first time players. Although i do not have the complete card list yet i am sure it is geared towards begining players.

With the new Kaibi expansion coming out i am sure we will see alot of new cards we wanted from this game. And if you check konami's site there is also a Joey expansion already released in Japan so its only time before it gets here. I have already ordered the Kaibi expansion and can't wait for the Joey one.

My only problems was you can't shut the cut scenes off, i don't like being asked to activate traps and magic cards all the time you have them available, and finally no online play. Hopefully they will work on this in upcoming releases.

All i can say is remember this isn't your typicall game its not geared towards people who already know the game. Give it a try if your a newbie to the game it will be worth it.

Sounds like people have found the same problems I have

I have been looking at the reviews to see if people have been having the same problems that I have. I have just found out why: the game does save your changes but it is saving them to a different folder, the Common Folder. To solve the problem you must change the name of the Common folder to that of the Installation folder and here is how you do it:

1. Go to "Start" (on the bottom left-hand corner of your screen), click "Run" and type in "regedit" in the prompt.
2. Go to "Hkey", then "local machine" and find "Konami".
3. Go into Konami and alter the Common Directory (Commondir) value so it reads:
C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos YUGI THE DESTINY\Common Files

Problem solved!

How do I find this game? It is at its best if you have Joey the Passion, because you can import cards from Yugi into Joey (doesn't seem to go the other way, though). I like the theme music. The tutorial is way too basic and is only for absolute beginners.

Overall, I would rate Joey the Passion as far superior. Joey has a "level-up" from absolute beginners to advanced. As you advance, so does Joey, and he is a far more versatile player. He uses different combinations, strategies and decks.

However, I must say Yugi is polite, whether you win or. Joey sometimes says "you stink" and Kaiba is even more arrogant - he sometimes calls you "a pathetic dog!" Still, if you are a fan of the show, you know to expect remarks like that from Kaiba.

Anyway, if you want to add more cards to Joey or Kaiba, definitely have Yugi the Destiny.

Addicting game!

This is a very addicting game! You have to just keep playing trying to come up with better strategies. Buying another one as a gift for my brother.

i feel that this game will become the most popular yu gi oh games that konami has put out along with yu gi oh the sacred cards. i have been searching along the internet and the promos in the game are anti magic fragrance,thousand knifes which will go perfect with the dark magician,and the final promo is windstorm of etaqua they are some kick butt cards so if you are a die hard fan like me you will get the game but the game is only for a computer. so i hope this review was helpful so thats it good bye.

Best TCG I've played for the PC

This is a cool game and the tutorial is the best I've seen. The repetitive voice and sayings is a little irritating but the duels are terrific! Started playing 2 days ago and won 2 duels so far..against Yami, that's saying something.

while yugi is fun to duel I prefer the power of chaos joey the passion. kaiba is an evil jerk in his game.

The gameplay of the power of chaos is good but you can't use the cards you can't import your deck from one game to the other. You can only use the cards the other games have. And another problem this game has is that it won't keep the changes you make to your deck.

Cool Intro to genre, but gets stale fast

I've watched Yu-Gi-Oh since shortly after the cartoon first made it to the US, and I've played Duel Monsters several times with friends. I was pleasantly surprised, then, when a PC version of the game showed up, especially one that allowed you to duel Yugi himself! So, did it live up to expectations?

The answer is, yes and no. On the upside, the action is fast-paced, and Yugi was a real challenge the first several times I played him. While you start out with a so-so deck, Yugi's is fully loaded, so trying to beat him at first is difficult. The theme music adds to the atmosphere, and changes in intensity if one side gains a large lead (3000 points or more). The card renderings are true-to-life, and getting new cards from a win over Yugi adds to the excitement as you wait to see if you might get a new (and hopefully useful) card.

The negatives, however, soon become apparent. As you add more powerful cards to your deck, Yugi does not. What at first was a challenge soon becomes routine; pretty soon I was beating Yugi nine times out of ten, and usually without losing a single life point. The rare times I lost were usually either because Yugi managed to draw the five cards of Exodia early on, or I could not draw any monsters I could summon onto the field (few things are more frustrating than drawing seven or eight trap/magic cards in a row, especially when you've got plenty of monster cards in your deck). Also, Yugi has a tendency to make some incredibly stupid moves (sacrificing "Dark Magician" to summon "Curse of Dragon"; playing a monster to the field, and then immediately destroying it with "Dark Hole"; etc.) that are hardly befitting the "King of Games." Even Yugi's dialogue--rather charming at first--becomes boringly repetitive, and you can't shut it off. And pretty soon you've won every card available, so that getting that 12th "Blue Eyes White Dragon" just doesn't seem worth the effort (especially since you can't have more than three in your deck at a time, anyway).

All in all, this is a very good intro to Duel Monsters, but you'll be wanting to purchase Kaiba and then Joey pretty soon afterwards to maintain your interest.

Waste of Cash

It's the most disappointing game I have ever purchased. It's the same price as World Wide Edition, yet far inferior. Pros: Cool graphics, it comes with Thousand Knives, and it's on the P.C.. It COULD have been a good tutotial, but Yu-Gi's far too difficult to beat to make it a great learning tool. Cons: You can only play Yu-Gi, who has the same deck throughout the game. You win one card after each battle, usually a common. It wouldn't uninstall from my computer, either. If you have a Game Boy Advance, get World Wide Edition. If not, then buy both. It's portable, uses less electricity, and comes with FAR better cards (Sinister Serpent and Harpies Feather Duster, for two). If you're unfortunate enough to buy the game, sell the cards on ebay to get your money back.

i wish that the game had more cards and more opponents
