Summary: Not bad and NOT slow if you know the trick!
Review: 2004 is a great dueling simulator, but that is all it is. There is no story as in Worldwide Edition (thought that title's story was weak, but at least there was some reason to be dueling). When I first started playing, I was disappointed that it played slower than the previous title (though not nearly as slow as Eternal Duelist Soul. There is a trick to speeding the game up to blazing speed. Just hold the L button down while you select an opponent. Then the duel just flies! The addition of being able to have 3 different decks is a great addition, but the lack of the password feature is disappointing. I am sure this was left out to even the playing field in the real-life tournaments Konomi is planning for the summer. The editing interface at first seems worse that previous titles, but when you get the hang of it, it actually features more functionality. Nice. This game is great if you only want to duel. That is enough for me and many CCG fans. But casual buyers beware. No tutorial and no story may back this title less appealing and difficult to learn.

Summary: ...worthy opponents...all the cards !
Review: Good News ! Your early opponents aren't going to be the pushovers they were in Sacred Cards. They're not at all afraid to set traps, summon level 5&up monsters, and hit you with Dark Hole and Raigeki. The Trusdale character in particular is going to try to stall your attacks with a blizzard of traps while he plays deck speed cards like Pot of Greed in an attempt to spring an Exodia on you. Tea Gardner, on the other hand, is out to maintain her Life Points. Once while playing her with one of the starting decks the game supplied me, she equipped one of my warriors with a Kisetai, had a Marie the Fallen One in the Graveyard, and an active Solemn Wishes in her Spell Card Zone. As a result, she was walking up her LP by over 1000 per turn. And she had a 2200 defender on the field so I couldn't attack my way out of it. Just as I was thinking of waving the white flag (yes, you can surrender in this game) when Tea's LP crossed the 20,000 mark, she brought a St. Joan to the field and equipped it with both Mage Power and United We Stand, bringing the ATK to 6900 (ouch !). So what-the-hey, I took my finger off the surrender button, sat back, and let St. Joan have her way with me. Not to say that these computer opponents are infallible, though. They will often summon good defenders to the field in ATK position, where they can be picked off easily. And just when they've put you into a sweat by dropping a 2000+ onto the field that you're going to have to rely on something from your deck to beat, sometimes the very next turn they'll summon a low level 5 to replace it (something the Yugi from 'Power of Chaos ' Yugi the Destiny' for the PC would never do !) One of the strong points of Sacred Cards was the environment. The music, the graphics, the sites around Battle City, and the storyline all added up to what was a charming little package. World Championship Tournament 2004 doesn't stand out in that regard (but we're ultimately here for good duels, right ?). The music is nothing but glorified elevator music and I think many of you will find it atrocious. The graphics are a little better, they sort of make you feel like you've stepped in to Vegas to do some slots. I was dismayed to find that you can only see the backs of the cards that are in your hand and will have to toggle back and forth to identify them. But this is somewhat forgivable because they had to make everything smaller in their attempt to be as faithful as possible to the TCG and have all regions (field spell zone and so forth) of the field brought into view. There are over 1100 different cards available in the game and you start out with just shy of 120. After each victory you get to unwrap a pack containing 5 cards and, yes, most of these will be doubles. For best results, try toggling to the left and right to unwrap packs with differently-styled paper on them. Sometimes you can receive 4 or 5 brand new cards this way. Bottom line: While 'Power of Chaos ' Yugi the Destiny' remains the best dueling experience I've had yet (even though it's hampered by the limited cards and opponents it has available), I'm confident that when I've earned the right to play the more advanced characters this new game has, that I'll find World Championship Tournament 2004 to be a worthy and stimulating challenge.

Summary: Useful Information
Review: Here's the Promo Cards WC4-001
Fairy King Truesdale
Water/Plant/6/2200/1500
If this card is in face up defense mode, increase the attack and defense strengths of all of your Plant Sub-Type Monsters on the field by 500.
Promo WC4-002
Kinetic Soldier
Earth/Machine/3/1350/1800
If this Monster is in Battle with a Warrior Sub-Type Monster,
increase this Monster's attack and defense strengths by 2000 for the Damage Step.
Promo WC4-003
Slate Warrior
Air/Fiend/4/1900/400
Flip: Increase this Monster's attack and defense strengths by
500. Decrease the attack and defense strength of a Monster that destroys this one during Battle by 500.
Promo Slate Warrior will be a real Tournament worthy card. Don't trade it away for something dumb. Its value will rise. There will be a REAL (yes, REAL) "Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004" using this game. One world champion of the Trading Card Game...and one world champion of this video game (it uses the same turn based rules as the card game). So link up to your friends, start trading cards and building decks (up to 3).

Summary: Cheap!!! Imitation of previous games!
Review: I agree with those of you who think it's crap. I mean, for computers to cheat(ie. knowing your cards even if they are face down) already exist in previous games like Eternal Duelist Soul & Worldwide Edition. This is just a more advance form of Eternal Duelist Soul. I like the format of Worldwide Edition better, at least you get an identity (it'd be better if you can put you name into it, like GBC ones), calendar, and passwords! Three decks idea aren't bad, but a waste of time and increase confusion. It also decrease card volume (60 compared to 64 in previous games, I think). Also, where are the Egyptian God Cards?!?! Who wants it to be exactly like the card game anyway? Might as well buy THE card game itself. They should allow use of God Cards except in LINK battles to add more fun to it! That's the short-fall of the previous two, but they haven't fixed that. Like I said, this is just a modified version (perhaps for the worse) of Eternal Duelist Soul! The only good thing about Sacred Cards is that you can use the God Cards, but the graphic sucks!!! The game-play is different too, they sacrificed card details and effects for stupid little characters and a lame story-line. You should emphasise on the cards, not the story-line or little funny characters, which you can't even change the face of if you don't like it (no names either!) I don't know what those people in Konami are thinking! They probably don't play the games themselves, and don't know what we faithful fans really want!!!

Summary: I don't know
Review: I don't know about this game because it hasn't been released yet but all they other yu-gi games have been a smash hit. Weather it was Dark Duel Stories to Sacred Cards. So Konami dezerves sme credit. The GBA games has the rules pin pointed, so in a real duel you can pull the trick out of your hat. I woul'd advise anyone to pre-order this game. Lets see if Konami can come through again. REVIEW WRITEN ON 1/2/04

Summary: Don't expect much
Review: I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a game. This game is basically a bare bones version of the Eternal Duelist's Soul. The graphics have been slightly changed for the game board, and some cheesy music added. If you played that early game, you will be quite familiar with this. The problem is, you don't even get the features included in that previous game. Want to speed up the game? Not a chance in options or holding down keys. Looking for a calendar with upcoming events? Nope. Characters talking to you? Nope. It probably took Konami longer to remove code from the Eternal Duelists Soul than it did to add any. What's added? New cards? Hmm... A lot of low to midrange (600 to 1500 ATK), along with a couple decent ones. Nothing stunning. Why bother to invent a new card with ATK/DEF in the 800s? New AI? I can't detect it. Maybe they should have spent some time fixing the old AI since the computer characters still do stupid things like summon a good monster, then use Dark Hole or Torrential Tribute to kill it. They will still use a better card as tribute for a worse one. If you use Imperial Order or Royal Decree, they will still play spells and traps even though they won't work. It is frustrating because this is a bandaid of a few graphics stuck on a gutted version of an older game. Shame on Konami for exploiting the market like this. Don't give them your money.

Summary: I LOVE IT!
Review: I love this game. All my favorite cards(Except one or two) are here, plus a bunch of fun new ones. This game is challenging but fun whether you're starting out the game or are an expert. New characters are hard to unlock, but that just adds to the fun. I for one like this game. I wish I didn't have to sell mine, but I need the money. Peace out.

Summary: ok
Review: I thought The Game Was Ok The Thing that upset me about the game was the inability to put the codes for the cards you have in real life to the game.The cool aspect ofthe game is that here will be tounaments on the game which means there will be more of who is a better statigest than who can buy better cards.The movement in the game was a little to slow for my taste.Also the Als are in my opion are to easy i normaly dont want a opponet who is to strong bt there were espicaly weak.Still i realy enjoyed the game

Summary: This Game Is SO WEAK!!!
Review: I went out and bought this game the day that it came out returned it the day after! Konami made this game a joke! What with no way to input cards with passwords, REALLY S L O W game play (the only way to speed it up is to hold down L and R at the same time) and useless cards to start out with, This is the worst game they have ever made!!!!! I'm going back to Worldwide as it is the best!
