Summary: YuGiOh! World Championship Tournament 2004
Review: It is my kids favorite game and he has had it since it got out!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Big anticipation. Bigger disappointment.
Review: Let me just say that I am as big a YuGiOh fan as there is. I play and collect the actual TCG and have all the GBA games. While I will say it is nice to have access to alot of the newer cards in this version, there is NO PASSWORD system. You have to rely on the computer to "give" cards randomly. I have maybe 20+ round played at this point and already have multiples of useless cards. That is not any fun if you can already play the game, and have played with a well built deck. To make it worse the game is painfully S L O W, with no way what so ever to speed it up. The only reason a single game would last 10 minutes is because the computer feels it neccessary to show every card played, for at least 5 seconds, before it proceeds (which may not seem like much but, it feels like an eternity when you got several moves in your head) and shows every phase very S L O W Y. If you take this game at face value, it's still fun because it's a new Yu Gi Oh and the 3 cards that come with it could actually be useful. Although the double of whammy of below elemetary pace and NO custom password system (which makes even less sense, because of 3 possible decks to build) kills what could of been without a doubt the best one yet. I was really disappointed.

Summary: BEST GAME EVER MADE
Review: my uncle works for konami so i have played this game. it rocks. it beats the other 3 combined. it follows the story and you duel better than the sacred cards

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent game, phenomenal increase in challenge.
Review: Now for someone who has played this game before I do have to say that yes I am disappointed in the lack of a password system (the same as I have noticed with "The Dawn of Destiny" for the X-Box), but I like the idea of earning everything the old-fashioned way at times. Also for anyone who is irritated by the slow speed of the duels, there is a trick re-introduced from "Eternal Duelist Soul": as you select your opponent hold down the "L" button and do not let go until the Duel starts. The speed will increase by at least three times. This helps the duels go by much quicker. Again, this is an excellent game and "the" software to own if you plan on attending the World Championship 2004 in Los Angeles for the "King of Video Games" championship.

Summary: Yu-Gi-Oh for 2004!!!!!
Review: Now, this game seems to be the best GBA game out there so far, here is a list of features...The artificial intelligence will be greatly improved then previous games to add a better more realistic feeling that your opponent is worthy. Also there is going to be over 1,000 cards in the database and you now will have the ability to create three different dueling decks. Also the graphics have greatly improved from the previous games, also with all the original characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh TV show!!!! So I think this is going to be a real interesting game to say the least!!! Well, that's all, see ya'll!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The other ones were better.
Review: One day Konami made a card game that had potential to become as popular as football. Then that same person slapped on a corny story that was based on the card game and made the card game based on the story. (I'm confused too.) Then they made a game for the gameboy advance that directly recreated the actual card game, with excellent AI and most of the cheesiness taken out. It was called Eternal duelist soul. Then they made another one with more cards and an improved interface, called Stairway to the destined duel. Then Konami apparently fired all their good programmers and created World championship 2004.

The good AI was gone. Your opponent would summon a huge monster, power it up to haides and back, and then sacrifice it to play a weaker monster. Then your opponent would wait until he had used up his summon for his turn and play 'Dark Hole', wich destroyed all monsters on the field WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY TO DESTROY ANYWAY, MEANING YOUR OPPONENT JUST SLAUGHTERED HIMSELF BY KILLING HIS OWN MONSTERS AND LEAVING HIMSELF OPEN TO ATTACK ON YOUR TURN.

Most people who have played this series complain about the game being slow. In this game you have an excuse because the game play is stuck in slo-mo, wich nobody wanted to play in in either of the earlier games. What made Konami think that people wanted to use up ten minutes taking three turns? The phase change messages are annoying, slow, AND YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM STOP!

Then you can't take passwords off your real life cards and use them in the game and it's almost impossible to get good cards. Worse yet, the cards you start out with would be pleased to be called 'pathetic', because that's much more credit than they deserve.

I have to mention that you can also trade and play against anybody else that has this game. The only problem is: Nobody else has it. The reason for that being that nobody wants it. The reason for nobody wanting it is hopefully obvious by now.

You can't play hardly anybody unless you've played hundreds and hundreds of hour long duels, wich after a few games, you won't want to do. I seriously suggest that if you are reading this review, you hit the back button on your browser and search for 'Stairway to the Destined Duel'. Trust me on this, if anything.

Summary: One Small Step Yu-Gi-Oh.....
Review: Review of Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2004
(New Persons' Guide Below Initial Review)

This Game will make Sacred Cards look like a bad joke! BUT if you enjoyed playing the god cards, well don't get your hopes up. This game will be ABSOLUTLY and TOTALY TRUE TO THE YU-GI-OH! GAME!!! I can't stress that enough. Also, since this game will resemble Yu-Gi-Oh! World Wide Edition and Eternal Duelist Soul, You'll have to eccept the "Step by Step" format, "Draw, Main, Attack, End Turn. Fortunatly, the Speed of transition between one phase to another is MUCH faster than Eternal Duelist Soul, for which for those of you who haven't played it yet ( or before) was painfully slow. It took a whole second to make any kind of action whatsoever. NOW World Wide Edition Improved the speed by a lot but still, At least in This game, you can toggle the speed >Yes!<

NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NEW TO THE YUGIOH GAME UNIVERSE (Below)

=========
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game has struck HUGE with people all over the U.S. Japan and even China. In Japan, The first Yu-Gi-Oh! Game Released was from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Format, manga or Japanese Comic Books. The Trading card game was called
"Magic and Wizards" and thus, only occured in ONE Yu-Gi-Oh! Comic, "Cards with Teeth" When re-named "Duel Monsters" the Konami Company quickly adopted the title and released the first Yu-Gi-Oh Video Game (Game Boy) named Duel Monsters (1) and also 12 of the Prototype Trading Cards which were the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards EVER MADE. They were White Colored and Included "The Cyclops" (Hitotsu-me Giant) "Ryu Kishin" and others.
After the TITANIC release of DM1 The Konami corp. Decided to begin a TV Sires named "Gamble Master", an extremly low budget short Yu-Gi-Oh! film siries which included the manga (Comic) "Cards with teeth" After a few years (1996-98) The Company finally got the funding to create a Yu-Gi-Oh! Telivsion siries based on the card game. Thus, the Yu-Gi-Oh! you see today. America Adopted Yu-Gi-Oh! in Summer 2001. and saw instant succes. The Vidio game industry has also boomed. Since the first game, there has been 8 Duel Monsters Games in Japan, and if you want to know the first game in America? "Dark Duel Stories".....

.....wow. that took a while! Hope you found that helpfull

Summary: A Big Set-back for the YuGiOh GBA Series
Review: This game could have, and SHOULD have, been so much better. The ability to maintain 3 separate decks is a welcome addition, as are the great number of new cards.
However, the lack of a password system and the incredibly slow pace of the duels make this game almost unbearable. I thought World Wide Edition was a much more enjoyable game.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Worth it?! YOU BET! If you believe me, look up Sarcasm!
Review: This game is great having all the latest cards, yeah, but sadly with the loss of the password system, the game seriously lacks. They should've allowed us to create our decks, like the decks we own by adding the pass feature so we could put in what cards we have to make our deck.

Otherwise, this game is too hard to understand in the deck building area and a little too hard to get the cards you want. If I were you, I'd buy Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the destined duel and get used to having only up to the LON boosters.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004
Review: This Game is hard to play. The AI are cheater. And You can't find some character unless you remove some cards from your deck.
Like for example Joey, you can't play Jinzo. If you have Jinzo in your deck, Joey won't come out. For Mai Valentine, u can't have Harpie's Feather Duster. And Ishizu Ishtar you have to drop
all of your magic and trap cards. And now I don't even know how
to modify my deck to get pass Shadi. They said there are over 25 but Shadi is only #23. Who is 24 and 25.
