Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dawn of Destiny

I purchased the game without knowing about the 3 cards that came with the game. I knew it had 3, but the last thing I had expected was to see them being Widespread Ruin, Dark Sage and the Egyptian God Monster card, "The Winged Dragon of Ra

The 2 hottest cards being the God card and Dark Sage in the Japanese version are now in English.

The game play is also very good too. I loved the fact that it follows tournament rules.

This is the game to get for the XBOX and especially if you are a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanatic like I am.

Simply amazing!!

finaly a 3d yugioh game on a big console. I'm glad I have a reason to dust off my xbox. The game is wonderful but the promo card gimic egyptian godcard which is forbidden is horrible.. I thought upperdeck had more sense than to release a god card before it could see legal tournament play.

Looks better than it is

My 8 year old is a Yu Gi Oh fanatic...a real card collector and my 4 year old likes game battling. When you look on the back of this XBox game, it appears to be a game where you play the actual card game and then battle your monsters.

[...]BR>1. You cannot play a 2 player game unless your buddy down the street bring over HIS XBox console WITH his OWN Yu Gi Oh game and you have a system LINK cable. (What 8 year olds do that anyway) Anyone playing this game will want to battle other players not the Computer Players!

2. There is no actual batlle. The monsters flash in front of you very fast. You get a 3 second glimpse of them

Very dissapointing [...].

basic

Not worth the money, No story mode and you start out with just the basic cards 43 in all. If you want to spend the next year just to build the deck that you want. Just a cut and paste. Gameboy game is more interesting with better cards.

Great, Fun, AMAZING!

This game is great because of the 3D dueling and you also get the WINGED DRAGON OF RA! That caps off anything.

Good, but not for everyone.

Yu Gi Oh finally comes to X-box with this game, and it is a mixed game. Don't expect a game with a story like Forbidden Memories or Falsebound Kingdom, this is mainly just a sim of the card game with the anime characters as your opponents. It has a few negative qualities, which I will list below.

Opponents AI can be a little lopsided. Sometimes they will be stupid, or very smart. Expect to lose quite a few times until you finally get some decent cards.

Getting cards isn't hard, but winning ones that can help you improve your deck isn't easy.

Graphics are decent, but not the best X-box can do.

However, these can be easily dismissed if your looking for a game that is true to the official card games rules. This game follows them almost exactly, and the fact that you get Dark Sage, Widespread Ruin, and the God Card Winged Dragon of Ra as the promo cards is a definate plus. Some might be turned off because of no story, but that is easily overlooked. Try it before you buy it if you're unsure, but it should be a buy for any Yugi fan with an X-box.

Not for beginners

Controls & Navigation - 4 - The menu and fields could use
improvements
Graphics & Music - 2 - Graphics are okay, but music gets
repetative after awhile
Entertainment - 3 - It was fun for awhile, but getting beat up
on CONSTANTLY tends to wear you down.

Overall - 3 - Definatly not for beginners and patience would be
a GOOD thing, especially with the starting cards
you get.

Better than the card board

Yu-gi-oh: Dawn of Destiny finally came out for x-box. For me, it was a long wait for something I could sink my teeth into, being an avid Duel Monster Card Game collector and player. I did not expect another smash hit like Halo, but I was hoping for something a little more in depth. I was disappointed at first when I received the game, but that view later changed. I tried to view the game in two ways. 1) as a gamer and 2) as a Yu-gi Fan.

1) As a gamer, this game is definitely poor. There is nothing appeasing or positive about this game coming from a typical gamer. Someone who is not remotely interested in Yu-gi-oh would most likely find this game boring. There is no definite plot you follow (or at least I haven't found yet), although you do pick up some hints and pieces of a very very very subtle plot. Graphics are low quality and most likely could have been duplicated on an N-64. The buttons are limited and at first very repetitive. I found myself getting very annoyed and just start hitting a button to get out of a window and found I had accidentally skipped over my attack phase or set a card face down and not face up. This is a game I would strongly recommend renting before buying for an avid gamer who doesn't know too much about Duel Monsters.

2) For the Yu-gi-oh fan who's looking to play some dueling, this game is it. It takes a little bit, but the rules are in accordance with the actual duel game.
The perks as a fan: 1) Official game playing, for those who know and want to play the game. 2) Opponents can be a little stupid at times, but then can present a real challenge as time goes on. 3) Actually able to use trap and magic cards. 4) Ability to link to other counsels and duel against friends. 5) Collect cards and find your favorite cards then put them in your deck. 6) Great collector cards inside.
The downsides: 1) could have done more with graphics and actual game play. (i.e.: When summoning a monster, the monster appears on the field and not just when it is attacking or being attacked.) 2) Messages your opponents say become very repetitive very quickly. 3) Could have done a lot more with putting x-box live on it and actually taking the game to the next level. 4) Winning cards isn't hard, but winning the cards you want is extremely irritating and difficult. 5) Despite going by the rules, the game itself seems to become repetitive. Opponents seem to have many of the same cards as you play as well as say the same thing over and over. 6) It's a pain in the butt that you can't discard cards on the field yet the computer can. A glitch I'm sure the company forgot, but an annoying one nonetheless.

I'm sure many players will find other perks as well as other downsides. If you are a fan and there's no one to ever duel with, this is your game. This game is not the worst game out there, but like I said, I strongly recommend renting the game or borrowing it from someone before deciding to buy it; even IF you are a fan.

not much of a good game

This is okay because you get the Winged Dragon of Ra. But I don't like the game. At first, you begin to like this game a lot, but soon you begin to lose interest in this game. One problem is that the cards you get. The cards you get aren't that great. You only get cards from Blue Eyes White Dragon to Pharaonic Guardian, promo cards, Japanese cards, and some animated scards. Another is the 3D battling. The monsters only appear when they attack and all you see is 3 second glimpse of the attack. It doesn't actually look they were attacking. Also this game has no story mode. There's no story making it very boring. If you're a Yugioh freak, buy it. Otherwise, I would recommend you rent it.
