3.0 out of 5 stars Some improvements over Yugi, but still room to grow, February 21, 2005

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos: Kaiba the Revenge (CD-ROM)

In my review of Yugi, I had pointed out some problems with that title that made the game go stale rather quickly: no increase in Yugi's playing level, rather limited number of cards, relatively poor AI, and repetitive dialogue that you can't shut off. So, would the next game in the series address these issues and become a real improvement on the original?

The final verdict: a mixed bag. Kaiba does increase his skill and deck level as you make upgrades in your deck, so he makes for a more formidable opponent. Not only do you have access to all the cards you accumulated in the Yugi game (and can immediately substitute them in the rather-weak starter deck you first receive) but you also can win cards from an additional trove that comes with the Kaiba game (over 300 total between the two). The AI is far better, as well; Kaiba rarely makes the more horrendous errors that Yugi does--though he can still have his "duh" moments.

So what wasn't improved? For one thing, there isn't a way of tracking your progression or playing level except by the number of new cards you've won. You can tell that Kaiba is playing with tougher cards, but there's no "rating" system that really lets you see that in any tangible way. And there are limits to how much improvement Kaiba makes. Hence, while it may take longer before you reach the "ho hum, we've done all this before" stage than it does with Yugi, you can eventually reach that point (though Kaiba will still give you more of a challenge than Yugi). Also, there's the "repetitive dialogue that gets old quickly" problem still present, and still no way to shut it off. Finally (and perhaps a little picky here) the music in this game is rather lame. The opening title sounds more appropriate to a duel with Dracula than with Kaiba, and the duel music sounds like it was performed by someone who's seen an electronic keyboard before, but never actually used one. (I do like the "rock-paper-scissors" music, though.)

Overall, Kaiba is an improvement over Yugi, but it still has room for some significant improvements.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice addition to the saga, September 15, 2004

This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos: Kaiba the Revenge (CD-ROM)

Being a previous fan of Dual Monsters I of course had to check this game out. I do agree with others that posted a review, the repeat of dialogue does get old fast.. but.. nothing that would make me want to stop playing. The interesting thing about this game is that Kaiba will adjust his deck as you upgrade yours. Making him a continual challenge ! This game links with both "Yugi the Destiny" and "Joey the Passion" which is very nice. I can win cards in 'Joey' or 'Yugi' and they show up in the Kaiba version, which makes the headache of building your deck much easier. I highly recommend buying the other 2 versions within the 'power of chaos' series to get the full effect of this game. All 3 in the series offer different features. The main one being that the 'Joey' version allows you to dual against others connected on your network (ie.. only within your house or computers you link together =( .. but still a very nice addition. Also .. 'Joey the Passion' unlike Kaiba , will actually use decks seen on the television show. For example, he used Weeble's deck a couple of times and wooped me pretty good. All in all I give Kiaba the Revenge a 4 out of 5 star rating. 4 stars vs 5 mainly because of the repetition of dialogue and the fact that they should have implemented the online play earlier. Still.. it's worth the purchase.

P.S. If you want to experience the same type of gameplay with an added bonus of being able to play against ALL the popular characters of the show... I recommend Eternal Dualist Soul, or World Wide Edition, the Gameboy Advanced version of this Dual Monsters game.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good game, April 16, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos: Kaiba the Revenge (CD-ROM)

This is a very good game because it helps a lot for those who don't understand the duel monsters game.

The game graphics are good, the music is OK and the cards in the game have very good effects. It's a shock to suddenly see the Cyber Jar on the field and having all of your monsters destroyed!!

This game helped me to learn a lot and I am a pretty good duelist now. It even includes an update for Yugi The Destiny. The update makes better decisions and makes Yugi even better. Also, if you have both games, you can bring more cards into the game and make Kaiba's Revenge bigger and badder!

I recommend this game to any Yu-Gi-Oh! fan.
