1 out of 5 stars Bad in todays standards   December 27, 2006

The graphics and sound are abysmal. The card pool is small. The game doesn't follow the Yu-Gi-Oh rules. The opponents are random. Get a better Yu-Gi-Oh game.


5 out of 5 stars It's time to duel!   August 7, 2006

This was KONAMI's first try at making a Yu-Gi-Oh game.....and it was a complete success! In this game, there are five dueling stages. You have to beat everyone in one stage five times, in order to unlock the next stage.

The stages and the duelists within them are as follow:

STAGE 1
- Tristain Taylor
- Joey Wheeler
- Mai Valentine
- Mako Tsunami
- Yugi Mutou

STAGE 2:
- Esp Roba
- Rex Raptor
- Weevil Underwood
- Rare Hunter
- Arkana
- Seto Kaiba

STAGE 3:
- Paradox
- Ishizu Ishtar
- Slysheen
- P. Seto

STAGE 4:
- Darknite

STAGE 5:
- Yami Yugi
- Nitemare (need password)
- Shadi (need password)
- Yami Bakura (need password)
- Marik Ishtar (need password)

This game is cool because if you collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards, you have an advantage! At the lower left-hand corner of each card, there's an eight digit password. When you choose "Password" on the Main Menu, and type in the password - the card will be recorded in your chest. When you beat someone in a duel, a random card will also be added to your chest! But what's this 'chest' ? Your chest is where the game keeps stored all the cards that you have earned so far. Your deck has to have 40 cards, so when you want to add a card to your deck - all you do is go to your chest! You also have a duelist volume. You earn points that are added to your duelist volume when you win duels. Each card has a number from 0-255. Obviously, the higher the number, the stronger the card. So even if you get a card added to your chest, that doesn't mean that you'll soon be able to add it to your deck if you want. The higher your deck volume, the more stronger cards you'll be able to add to your deck. Cards like "Feral Imp" (ATK/1300 DEF/1400) is kind of weak, so it's only worth 27 points. Easy to get even with a low deck volume. Cards like "Blue Eyes Ultra Dragon" (ATK/4500 DEF/3800) or "Gate Guardian" (ATK/3750 DEF/3400) cost 255 points! You must get more points for your deck volume to make your deck volume really high! That way, you'll be able to add very powerful cards like that to your deck.

"Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark Duel Stories" also comes with three random cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game. The awesome game also lets you create your own cards by putting to halves together. Kind of like fusion monsters. Besides that, if you have a Link Cable, you can link two Game Boys together and duel against someone who also has this game. You can even trade cards with them!

Overall, this game is a must have. We all know that Game Boy Color games are so old and unpopular, but this one is must have! This game is one that you will never ever get bored with. I, myself, am not that big of a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh. I mean, it's not bad, yet it's not good. It simply is okay. However, this game is all you could want!!!!!



3 out of 5 stars Not half as good as some of the newer games   March 25, 2006
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As much as I'm a fan of Yugioh, I'm sad to say that lately my oppinion of the game has gone down the toilet. Games like Nightmare troubadour are better.
For one, the monsters have.. Element types?... Sure that makes it easier to win, but it's just... weird. You can't even play more than one trap card, only one can be in play at once, and if it's not used in one turn, it's gone. All the card effects are messed up, so if you play the card game, then consturct your deck in DDS the same way, It's almost Guarenteed to fail. Since when does the Harpie lady sisters say "+2 power for own harpies dragon"?
If your a huge fan of the series, then I would say buy it. Same to if your just starting out. But if your an experienced duelist and have a DS, I say go straight for Nightmare Troubadour, unless you want every game created.

This Game is pretty much an awsome game. There is one problem: Strings is not in this game. That is what makes Stairway to the Destined duel better. This game has the following duelists: Tristan, Yugi, Mako, Mai, Joey, Esp. Roba, Weevil, Rex, Seeker, Pandora, Kaiba, P. Seto, Ishizu, Slythereen, Yami Yugi, Nightmare, Bakura, Shadi, and Malik.
