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

The Best Yet

I've not been a huge fan of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" video games - up till now. "Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dawn of Destiny" is definetly a cut above "Forbidden Memories" and "The Duelists of the Roses" (I don't have a GameCube.) The biggest problem with this game is the fact that it has no real storyline other than this: You're a beginning Duelist challenging master Duelists such as Yugi, Kaiba, Joey, Marik, and Bakura to Duels. Your first opponents are three Duel Robots, as Seto Kaiba (jerk) periodically taunts you between Duels. After defeating his scrap metal, you go on to more powerful Duelists. The graphics were great, but there wasn't enough of them; Each battle between two monsters lasts two seconds or so. This game was great because we finally get to play on the console with the REAL rules instead the variations we've seen in previous "Yu-Gi-Oh!" console games. I mean, "The Falsebound Kingdom" didn't even involve cards! Anyway, I wish this game had a storyline, because with all of the interesting characters (such as Bakura, Shimon, Ishizu, and other lesser characters) I reckon Konami could have put together a good one. Hopefully, the next "Yu-Gi-Oh!" will have a rich and exciting storyline combined with the original gameplay.

A definate for the fans.

This is the best yu-gi-oh game out there except for the tcg. This resembles the card game the most out of all the card games i have seen so far. Its quite fun and if you are a fan of the tcg it comes with 3 trading cards you will enjoy.

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.

god card in this is fake

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.

Good game overall. Many characters from the show to duel against. Many different cards to win along the way. You can customize up to 3 decks and save your progress within 5 memory locations. Triple duels are fun; you play consecutively against a set of 3 characters to unlock the next set of 3 characters (with increasing difficulty of course). Eventually you'll run out of characters, which means you'll have to whip up on people you've already played against to increase your card collection.

Library mode allows for some great 3D views of the monsters. I guess most of the memory went to this end since graphics for the actual game seem fairly low-rez; it is difficult to read the text on the cards. The battle clips are short, and perhaps that's a good thing so as to keep the flow of the game going. The characters don't actually talk like in the PC games (Yugi The Destiny and Kaiba The Revenge), but the text of what they say matches their individual personalities.

My biggest gripe, some of the characters seem free to bend certain rules. For example, multiple copies of Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, and Exodia pieces in a deck, or how about the ability to flip summon Man-Eater Bug and then shift it to defense position within the same turn without the aid of other card effects! For sure this game could be improved upon, but keep an open mind and it's tons of fun and a good way to practice your dueling skills.

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.

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 [...].
