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.

Don't waste your time with this garbage.

I definently have to agree with Spartan 117. This game is pointless. I would probably have to say that even the Yu-Gi-Oh!
manics won't enjoy this.

I got the game free with a magazine and it stank!
It's just like everyother card based game,
and it has more glitches then you can count!
I can beat the came in 20 minutes, and its not much fun.
Oh yes, and how cold I forget about Yugi constantly apearing
on your screen, saying some stupid corney line like
"Lets finish this!" or "Beleave in the cards.........."
And Im acually a Yu-Gi-Oh fan! But I realy sugest you stay away from this boring game!

Could be better

Not many cards... Quite boring with that kind of ammount. It's like if you draw Mystical Elf it automaticly makes it your life saver. Also not enough traps and field magic cards... Just get Joey the Passion it has 700+ cards and Joey is using diffrent deck strategies like Light Deck, Water and Aqua Deck, Dragon's and much more! Kaiba is ok I guess.

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.

Good Game, Lackluster Options

I like Yu-gi-oh very much. I have been a fan since the first cartoon came out. Even though I am a fan I am not bias on my reviews; so here we go.
The game looks beautiful, the graphics are very good. The music also makes the whole experience better. In the game Yugi has cut scenes that are really sweet at first but do get repetitive after awhile. I have heard some complaints on the number of cards available in the game but to me that is not really a problem. You only collect one or three depending on which battle format you choose. Plus they need to save something for the sequel. I know everyone hates that but as a business standpoint its truly smart on there part. So we all knew that was going to happen. I believe the cards available are decent. Only a quarter of the cards in the entire Yu-gi-oh game are worth anything anyway, the rest are throw away's. The game play in this game is entirely user friendly, it is perfect. A lot better than the game boy games, flawless in that area. One more area this game is truly good on is the artificial intelligence. Yugi duels you like a true pro. You feel like he is giving you his best game, no silly moves like the ones you sometimes see in the game boy versions. He is ruthless and goes for the kill, just like any good duelist you would face in real life.
The bad Part of this game is the only person you can duel is Yugi. If I had known that to begin with I don't think I would have bought the game. It totally needs more dueling partners. The other thing that would have defiantly put this game on everyone's to buy list is online play. IF ONLY, could you imagine? AH! yes but its only business, they will come out with that one later too, just watch them; and will charge us twice as much. The bad thing is that there even isn't a two player mode. Come on now that one was totally lame! I can understand the no online play but no two player mode that was just dropping the ball in my eyes. Could you imagine if they had up to four players, so you could recreate those sweet battles like on the t.v. episodes. Can anyone say double duels, mabye in the sequel. Well those are my major gripes.
So I say if you don't mind just fighting Yugi all the time and you're a big fan, give this game a shot. Plus you can always update this game with Kabias game and that will at least give you two people you can duel. Superb graphics and mind blowing easy game play, versus lack of duelist. Its up to you, do I enjoy this game, the answer is yes. Only because I do not play it all the time and the fact that Yugi duels you intensely smart. No lame A.I. like in the game boy games. I hope I gave you a little insight into this game.

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.

can't use cards from one game in the other

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.
