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.

What do you get when you cross Yu Gi Oh with the power of PC? The best Yu Gi Oh game ever!!!!!!!! The graphics are superb, the game play is so ridiculously simple that my cats could play it and the replay value is through the roof. People complained that there are only 155 cards to get. How many more do you need. All the good ones are here. Raigeki, the Exodia cards, Spellbinding Circle. The only down side is that there is no 2 player option, but we will all survive. The game AI is a little unever. Yugi beat me with Exodia three duels in a row!!! But I never get tired of seeing the big guy come out and blow me to kingdon come. Hope the review helps. Happy holidays.

A very enjoyable experience!

I had gotten a preview of the game through Shonen Jump magazine, liked it, and decided to buy the game when it came out recently. It was money well spent--this is one of the best games that I've played in a long, long time.

The gameplay is very intuitive and easy to understand, and there's also a helpful tutorial mode that should take care of any questions. The graphics are excellent and extremely fluid,and the rendering on the cards is the best I've seen in any Yu-Gi-Oh game yet. The background music is fun and adds to the game experience.

I'll second the other reviewer in saying that the AI is pretty good. Things get progressively more difficult (there's no mirror force or Exodia in the beginning, for example) and there's always a new challenge. It's quite addictive and the replay value is excellent.

I do have a couple of complaints. It would be nice to have an option to shut off the cut-scene animation; Yugi's comments are fun in the beginning, but the fun wears thin in short order. If you set certain trap cards you'll be asked over and over again if you want to activate them; after being asked for the 100th time if you want to activate Dragon Capture Jar you'll be grinding your teeth.

And 155 cards just isn't enough. No Blue Eyes White Dragon? No Red Eyes Black Dragon? Where's Relinquished? The Magnet Warriors? Ultimate Blue Eyes? Grateful Dice? Skull Dice? Time Wizard? These are all cards that appeared early on in the Anime, and it would have been nice to encounter them in the game.

These are all minor quibbles, though. Konami has put together an excellent game, and I would be quite happy if they'd use it as a template for more games to come. You won't regret this purchase.

Huge Potential, But Another Yu-Gi-Oh Game Blows It

WWE still holds the crown as the best Yu-Gi game as Konami dissappoints with Power of Chaos.

It had huge potential... great graphics, cut-scenes, etc. But every area is a let-down.

First, it is a HUGE deal that they don't include ALL the cards. They do in the GBA version why not here?

Second, you can only play Yugi... this get lame fast!

Third, no multiplayer... this is what the card game is all about. I would forgive # 2 if they had a multiplayer system. You could have had online tournaments and everything.

After the absolutely horrible The Sacred Cards came out, I had high hopes that Power of Chaos would stop the quality slide... but it continues the distrubing trend of rushed games and gameplay.

Die hard fams will enjoy the game for about 2 days.

A lot of promise, but zero bang for your buck.

I received Yu-Gi-Oh: Power of Chaos as a Christmas present. Being a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game and the animated series, I was excited at the prospect of a game that combines the best of both. worlds. Having been fortunate enough to play the demo version, which came packed in a copy of Shonen Jump magazine, I had some high hopes for this game. Did this game live up to those hopes? Yes and no.

At the start of the game you're given a bare-bones deck and you immediately enter into dueling with Yami Yugi. The voice clips in this game are excellent, and the intense music really gets your blood pumping as you play out your moves. The music changes when one of you takes a big life-point lead, which really adds to the sense of victory or impending doom as you're about to win or lose a duel. It was a very exciting experience, and I felt as if I really was dueling against Yugi from the cartoon.

That excitement only lasted for the first few duels, however. After that the novelty wore off and the boredom began to set in. You see, Yugi is your only opponent, and he only has a few lines of dialogue, so you're going to be hearing the same phrases repeated over and over. I can only hear Yugi say "oh no!" whenever I play a trap card so many times before I start getting annoyed. I understand that this is the "Yugi" edition of the game, but no matter the reason, having only one opponent, who repeats the same couple of lines over and over, is unforgivable.

There are only two actual game play modes. You can play against Yugi in either a Single Duel or a Match Duel, which is three duels played consecutively on a best-out-of-three-wins basis. That's all. There is also a replay mode where you can save your previous duels and watch them over again. The game also features a tutorial which does a good job of familiarizing you with the game's rules. This feature alone makes this game good for a Yu-Gi-Oh newbie.

Also, there's only roughly 155 cards in this game, from the Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon set, the starter decks, and a few of Yugi's personal staples, like Mirror Force and Spellbinding Circle. Also, you start off with a crappy deck and from the beginning Yugi has all the best cards, giving him the advantage. And, like the animated series, Yugi always seems to draw that one card he needs to beat the snot out of you every single time. Nothing is more frustrating than having Yugi on the ropes, only to have him summon Exodia, which makes him automatically win the duel. Players beware: 2 out of 3 times I lost to Yugi, it was because he summoned Exodia. He manages to play it a lot! So if you are a Yu-Gi-Oh newbie prepare to lose a lot of duels and get very frustrated.

Winning duels yield very little besides yet another repetition of the same two audio clips from Yugi. Winning a single duel will give you only one new card as a reward. Winning a match duel will give you three cards. All in all, winning duels just doesn't feel rewarding. Nothing is more frustrating than winning two grueling duels against Yugi, and only get three worthless common cards for all that effort.

So overall, anyone looking for a deep and worthwhile Yu-Gi-Oh experience should pass on this game. Its tutorial feature makes it ideal for newbies who are just getting into the game, however, and for kids who really want to play against Yami Yugi, like in the cartoon. Yu-Gi-Oh collectors may want to get this game for the three trading cards that comes packed with it, as well.

It's not that this is a BAD game, it's an excellent concept and could have been so much better if only the developers had given you more to do. If they had included more characters, more cards, and more game play modes, this game would be a force to be reckoned with. As it is, Yu-Gi-Oh: Power of Chaos feels like it's only half a game.

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

This game is very enjoyable! Yugi is constantly talking and the graphics are terrific! I liked the cards that came with it too.

Who wants to see all 155 cards?
