Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses lets the duelists clash yet again, with all-new more powerful decks!Like the Pokémon games, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses is essentially a computerized trading-card game. Unlike Pokémon, however, Duelists of the Roses is distinguished by a peculiar historical-fiction context and a startlingly steep learning curve. Yu-Gi-Oh newbies be forewarned: This game is better suited for die-hard fans.
Not only does the story of Duelists of the Roses stray from the Egyptian setting of the cartoon show, it strays into a fictional history of the War of the Roses, a 15th-century civil war for the English throne. In this version of events, the war was fought with cards, not swords and bows, and series-protagonist Yugi is actually Henry VII. There are lots more real and adapted history in the game, but it’s really just stage dressing for a series of card battles. Players can choose to fight for the side of Yugi and the house of Lancaster or for the Rival house of York. Either choice leads to different opponents and cut-scenes along the way.
The gameplay itself falls between the simplicity of rock-paper-scissors and the complexity of chess. Players blindly deal monsters off a deck against what your opponent pulls, and the stronger monster wins the hand–and the winning opponent gets the balance of points between the winning and losing cards from the losing player. When a combatant’s life points are gone, the game is over. Duelists of the Roses introduces a leader card to the game, which players use to store their life points and to earn special abilities. Also new is a terrain map that will influence the power of the cards being drawn. For example, pulling a water monster near the ocean will pack more power than a fire monster.
What makes the game so hard is that the computer opponent is an ultimate master of the game’s many arcane rules and the in-game tutorial is a little rushed. The game is forgiving to losers; one needs simply to try the battle again and hope for better luck. The graphics and sound are a little disappointing, but it is the first time we’ve seen these card monsters in 3-D. –Porter B. HallYu-Gi-Oh!

Master Duelist Says:,
INCREADABLE! There really isn’t anything more to say, I mean the first time I saw this game I was blown away by how detailed and animated it was! The graphic are amazing and the game-play is just as good as Forbidden Memories. After all Duelist of Roses is the sequal to Forbidden Memories. Travel through the entire duel monsters world, while battling opponents and winning cards. You as Yami Yugi are once again called to save your kingdom from the evil mage, Seto. Explore many places and theres even a new feature, if you press buttones in certain places you can find secret cards. This is a exquisite game and it is very well made. It is worth buying and i highly recommend that all Yu-Gi-Oh! lovers should get it!

|PREVIEWED IT,
I have actually played a demo version while at E3 and I enjoyed it thoroughly. They only had enough to play 3 cards in 1 duel but from the response of the game, the graphics and the story I just thought it was amazing.
Its up to you to buy it when it is released but I know I will.
Ive been waiting for them to finish and release it for a nice long while.
Im about 20 and love the whole concept but hey thats just me.
If you like the cartoon and the other games at all then you should get a kick out of it.
