Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories

"WOW Yu-Gi-Oh is good for GBC!!!"

This is a great game that will keep you hooked for months!!

Graphics 6/10

I admit that the graphics could be WAY better but hey, It's only a GameBoy color so you can't blame them. When you start playing this game you might think that because the graphics are poor the game will suck. IT WON'T! Once you get into the game itself you will not be disappointed. There are lots of cards in the game that can be unlocked by passwords or by obtaining honestly. The graphics are too dark for the most part so I don't really like them. If you like games with dark graphics this game is a game for you.

Gameplay 10/10

If you are a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh series you will understand this game and instantly love it. Even if you don't like the series, you may still like the game. You can gain new cards as you go and even unlock the great exodia (instant win). Collect many card to win in all sorts of duels. There are lots of cards in the game that can be unlocked by passwords or by obtaining honestly.

Sound 9/10

There could be more music but the music that's on there is really good. The music is catchy and also makes you want to play for a long time. There are a nice variety of sounds and music and sound effects are awesome. I only wish there was more music.

2-player

Using a link cable you can duel against a friend. I love this feature because you get to use your own cards against his. The more you play 2-players the more you want to challenge all your friends -- Another reason why this game is a great investment.

Replay value

Even after beating the game it is still loads of fun going back through and getting all the cards. After playing for too long might get really bored of the game. If that happens don't play for a day or so. When you come back to it, it will be a lot of fun once again. Another reason why you want to come back is to find different fusion cards. To fuse, you place one card on top of another and SOMETIMES, depending what cards you used, They will turn into a stronger monster. You will also want to bring your duelist level up so you can use higher level cards. The duelist level is the one thing you should make a challenge. Try to max out your duelist level and use the best card. You will keep playing this over and over.

Buy/Rent

Buy if you love the show.
Rent if you want to try it first.

Overall 9/10
