Video Game Reviews of Yu-Gi-Oh GX: The Beginning of Destiny
Customer Review: Better than I thought!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't play PSP games so I have no idea what the other yugioh games were like so this review don't apply to tag force. However I will compare to Duelist of the Rose and Forgotten Memories which are both played on Playstation 2. I felt that Capsule Monster Colisum were too different to be compared to other Yugioh PS2 games because of its limited monster pieces and single direction storylines. It have been a while since Duelist of the Rose came out so it was exciting to see that a new Yugioh game finally comes out for PS2. Compare to PS1: Forgotten Memories, there are very little wasted monsters when you go for a ransom amount of cards as the rules for getting points to get stars were very frustrated and you often get gluts of weak monsters while builting the numbers of stars to buy stronger monsters. Some of the cards have very different functions when you had played Duelist of the Rose for a while so it can be confusing at first while playing The Beginning of Destiny. For a examples - The Duelist of the Rose have Rigras Leever as a Immoral Card - immune to Crush Virus. Rigras Leever was important for me in the game as it cause both me and the other Duelist to discard all cards when flipped up - after I made sure there were only worthless cards in my hand. In The Beginning of Destiny Rigras Leever changed functions a big deal. Now the card can't be flipped at the first play and its type is Plant/Effects and only removes 1 card from each player with each player choosing the card to discard so the useful of Rigras Leever decline for me in this game while other monsters previously worthless for me in Duelist of the Rose became more valuable in their uses.
Compare to Duelist of The Rose which plays only one on one, you play tag force, which can be both a blessing and a curse. The fun is picking the right teammate (you have to duel that person first in story mode - win or lose it doesn't matter the person will appear in free mode) and let the teammate shore up your weakness. The curse is that the teammate may make very stupid mistakes that have you cursing at the tv like for some reason the computer teammate loves to putting a weak monster that was on defense changed to attack mode and see more lp drained away when the opposite team attack that monster.
Star ranking is far very important in The Beginning of Destiny compare to Duelist of the Rose. In Duelist of Rose you can auto play Blue Eye White Dragon from the first play since there is no restriction on summoning it. In THe Beginning of Destiny which gets more complex later on - I will just explain the simple point - If you summon a monster on the first play, the card must have up to four stars on it - Blue Eye White Dragon can't be summoned in the first play it have more than four stars - instead you have to wait for two four stsrs or less to be played out first on your side of the field - on the third play of the game, the monsters are tributed (meaning they're out of the playing and in the graveyard) to summon Blue Eye White Dragon. There are monsters that can be summoned by only one monster tributed and other must require specific conditions to be able to be summoned.
There are much more to explain but I would rather let other people add more reviews.
Otherwise the game, Yu Gi oh GX THe Beginning of Destiny is intresting and kept me busy - already in two weeks of play I have 600 different types of cards and it's not even the weekend of the first week at Duel Academy - use free games often to build up dp (or gil, money) to buy more cards.
There are a few negative points to this game - For some odd reason some cards appear in your hands much more often - I believe that the game don't deal cards at random but are biased toward certain cards. The second and the most frustrated aspect of the game for me is you can't change a decision you made like putting the monster in defense mode when you want it in attack mode - it's easy to press a button by mistake and this is way before battle mode.
