A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Coliseum (Video Game)

I've rented this game, (and still playing it) and it is super awesome! It's lots of fun! Here's a summary:

You play as Yami Yugi and Yugi who are now in a new tournament on an island, sort of like Duelist Kingdom, except it's not run by Pegasus. There are four stages in which you fight five people per stage. You can buy monsters at the entrance hall, but usually you win two from each duel. The game is NOT like the card game like some people think.

Your monsters work like this:
Light beats Dark
Dark beats Earth
Earth beats Thunder
Thunder beats Light
Water beats Fire
Fire beats Wood
Wood beats Wind
Wind beats Water

You start off by picking your symbol, which is a crystal, statue and color combination. Your crystal is either one of the elements and determines your starting monsters attributes.

The games starts off reletively easy, and Joey Wheeler is your first match. It is where you learn the basics of the game, and what happens on certain areas of the bored and how certain things affect your monsters.

There aren't any life points, except on your monsters. The goal of the duels is too destroy your opponents symbol, or to destroy there monsters, and as you go higher into the game, the numbers of monsters on the field may vary.

Right now I'm on stage three, and I'm kind of having a hard time with it, since it's much harder than the first two. I've beaten two of the duelists so far.

The graphics in the game are pretty good, but hey, it's definitely not SquareEnix stuff, but I give Konami their props. During dialog throught the game, they use the American Dub voices to read it, and make the characters talk, and it really isn't so bad. It gets annoying sometimes though when Yami Yugi or your opponent are all like, "I'm gonna win!" or "It won't end like this!"

I personally, love this game, but it's up to you if you wanna play it or not. Just giving you my opinion. I give the game a 10/10.

Get ready for a great Yu-Gi-Oh! thriller packed with rivalry voiceovers, intense action and fun! This game is similiar to chess in most aspects - you have an army of familiar Yu-Gi-Oh! monster pieces and you go up against an opponent with them. Either destroy all of your opponent's monsters or his/her fabled crystal piece to win the duel! Basically, its a tournament where you play as Yami Yugi as you take on familiar opponents such as Mai Valentine, Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood and use many different monsters like Dark Magiciuan, Kuriboh, Blue-Eyes White Dragon and even Exodia! During duels, you're monsters may evolve and fuse into more powerful ones and use special abilitys to take control of the duel! There's a versus (2P) mode and a shop owned by Solomon Motou, Yugi's grandpa where you can buy monsters to improve your capsule deck. There's voiceovers where both characters shout at eachother like in the cartoon and make comments about eachother's skills. This is a very fun and addictive game and I reckon you MUST get it!

If you have any real Yu-Gi-Oh knowledge, in the manga, Capsule Monsters, or "Capmon" is a game the Mokuba Kaiba is a pro at, and he challenges Yugi to the game (and loses) when Seto Kaiba sets up the Death-T to try and kill Yugi. And yes, the game is supposed to be like chess.
