Elemental, meaning "Aqua, Pyro, Forest, Wind, Earth, and Thunder.
Also, Shadow, Light, Fiend, and Dreams. I mean, a puny Shadow-type Kuriboh can beat a Light-type mighty Blue-eyes White dragon.
That's not all either, buying a card from the card shop costs a fortune! Deck capacity gets on my nerves,so does the "costs" of
cards too! You may be able to use egyptian god cards like the
"Winged Dragon of Ra (Pheonix Mode)" but trying to keep monsters on the field is infuriating, like boss duelists. SOOO HARD, that if you make 1, just 1 mistake, before you know it, he'll use
"Raigeki" and start going midevil on your life points. Lastly, bosses like Sol Chevalsky, Reshef the Dark Being, and the people in the Hall of Eternity have over 15,000 life points!! But aside from that, it's cool! I got to give Konami their props.

This is a good idea for a game. I got it when it came out. The idea of having a sequel for Sacred Cards is fine. Yet the execution leaves alot to be desired. The starting deck is definitely for beginners and is difficult at first against the more advanced people in the game (Kaiba (if you could duel him straight away), Rebecca (she's a brat anyway), and at first Duke). You can't get decent cards to start with simply because you have to earn the cards. That's fine. If you could walk in with cards like Jinzo in your beginning deck, the game would be beaten in 15 minutes. Card effects are also changed. Along with this garbage about types. Or whatever Konami wants to call it. If you are wanting a game that follows the true TCG rules, this is NOT for you. If you just love Yugioh, then collect it. The cards that come with it are worth the price alone.

The game's not out as I write this, but since I act as a Duelist Leader for my retailer's weekend Duelist League games, I thought I'd offer up this information. Of course, this is preliminary and subject to some minor level of change. ;) The promo cards included in this game are...

[1] ROD-EN001 : Dark Magician Knight [monster - 7 stars]

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Knight's Title" (GB8-002) is in play. If this card is Special Summoned successfully, select 1 card on the field and destroy it.

[2] ROD-EN002 : Knight's Title [magic/spell card]

Activate this card by offering 1 face-up "Dark Magician" on your side of the field as a Tribute. Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician Knight" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.

[3] ROD-EN003 : Sage's Stone [magic/spell card]

You can only activate this card when there is a face-up "Dark Magician Girl" on your side of the field. Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand or Deck.

You're supposed to be able to wager, buy and sell cards (just like in Sacred Cards), so this should help experienced players get knee-deep very quickly. Hopefully, there will be some appearances by faces from the anime which only started appearing within the video games in World Championship Tournament 2004.

I'm getting this game for christmas! Along with a GameBoy Advance SP onyx. I've seen some screenshots and i gotta say I'm impressed. And the promo cards are also great, since I got a Dark Magician deck. I always liked the Yu-Gi-Oh! games and pokemon, but pokemon had something Yu-gi-Oh! didn't, RPG features, but then The Sacred Cards came out, the first Yu-Gi-Oh! game with RPG features, with graphics way better than any Pokemon game. A year later came reshef of destruction the sequel to the Sacred Cards, with better graphics than the Sacred Cards and any Pokemon game. If you're a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan i recommend you buy this. I know I will. Below is my christmas list:

1.- GameBoy Advance SP Onyx
2.- Yu-gi-Oh! reshef of destruction

OK THIS GAME IS GREAT! BUT U WILL BE TOTALLY LOST IF U DONT GET THE STRATEGY GUIDE. DONT GET A USED GAME UNLES U WANT TO PLAY A GAME SOMEONE ELSE STARTED BECAUSE WHEN U START A GAME U CANT START A NEW GAME.
THE PROMOS ARE GREAT:
NAME---------------WORTH

Dark Magician Knight-$24.99

Sage's Stone--------$19.99

Knight's Title--------$19.99

i think this game would be awesome. the graphics may be a little off but stilll looks kewl. most yugioh games is just dueling but in t his game u can walk around and duel instead of dueling one com. to another. u get to walk around and talk to people. all i have to say is this game really looks awesome. for those who think this game is crappy i dont know y but there might be some reasons. like i heard this guy saying that they changed the rule about dueling in this game but i dont know maybe he was mistaken or he just dont know how to play. this game should rock!!!!!!!

The person below me says the games sucks now is that true? Well consider these facts this game is a RPG/Card Game. Therefore if you don't like walking around and talking to others don't buy it. But I myself like it. It contains the story after Battle-City and a brand new chapter.

The Promo cards are Dark Magician Knight, Knight's Title, Sage's Stone which are excellent combos to the Dark Magician deck. If you don't want these you can sell them for a nice price. Overall get the game if you like Duel Monsters, promo's make it more worth it.

The opening sequence sets up the game (and might even hint at something in the upcoming "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie" feature (due in theaters Aug. 13th.) It seems (unless my eyes deceived me) Maximillion Pegasus may be responsible for awakening the 'Reshef' (dark being) of the game's name.

As for gameplay, it feels and looks a lot like Sacred Cards, though I think the character models are improved somewhat. The cursor, which is used to select cards (to play, examine, etc.) has an annoying habit of whirling around the playing field during the duel though, and it can become a bit bothersome. The other feature I will complain about was a carry-over from Sacred Cards (and originally found in Forbidden Memories on the PS One): "alignment matches." That simply means that light-type monsters seem to always beat fiends, water beats fire, etc. The first time you get Beast of Talwar on the field (7 stars in game, 6 stars in real card game) and it attacks a Magician of Faith (resulting in Beast getting blown up), you'll fully understand what I mean. It's something that can be worked around, though you will want to avoid rushing into duels with named characters (like Rebecca and Duke Devlin) because the deck you start out with is weak except for the tribute monsters. Deck capacity can be worked around too, although it is somewhat time consuming and annoying to do so, like with Sacred Cards. However, if you're more into the "hardcore rules" (e.g., using a deck-destruction style deck and activating flip effects/sacrificing that monster), you'll probably get more out of World Championship Tournament 2004. In the end though, with some effort and patience, it's a rewarding experience for any Yu-Gi-Oh fan; and, it may well perk your interest in the upcoming movie (which also shows Pegasus in the trailer at least.)

From my opinion, this is not a very good game. First of all, the duelists are waaay too easy. 2.You have to pay 1000 zenie in the game to enter a card into the game, if u mess up the numbers you dont get the money back.

Yu-GI-OH! Reshef of destrution is a pretty good game.Its fun to play, but some of the players are almost unbeatable, or they cheat!But its still exeptionally fun.This game is a great gift for any YU-GI-OH! fan.
