5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yu-Gi-Oh game. Ever. March 16, 2007

A Kid's Review

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I've played a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh! Games before, and to be honest, some games like the Eternal Duelist's Soul and Rhesef of Destruction didn't just make the cut. This one, however, you customize your character. You are a member of duel academy. To top it off, your choices of cards are staggering, topping at least 1500 cards. The main objective in this game, well, is to duel. And it's practically the only way to advance. This may sound good, but sometimes the game can get painfully difficult, not because of the duels, but because sometimes there's a specific event you have to get by to proceed and it simply will not happen. Don't fret if this happens, just play the waiting game. You'll find a guide for it on Gamespot. Even better, when you put your cursor over a monster card, you see that monster in full 3-D. Unfortunately, the lack of monster animations actually attack eachother can make the fights painfully boring. As you start the game, you start out with a relatively weak deck. But soon enough, you will be able to purchase cards from the shop to improve deck strategies, and you get a pack that might hold the Exodia cards right off the bat. But, with the ever-persistent Forbbiden-Restricted card list, you won't be able to use them. If you've played Nightmare Trobadour, you might find the way to find duelists familiar. You move a little fancy thingymabobber around with your stylus, and when the thingy turns red and starts beeping, search around until a red marker appears and go over there to duel. You can also find duelists in certain "Hotspots" like the academy lighthouse. Finally, you get to have a spirit partner. You know how Jaden can see his Winged Kuriboh, Chazz his Ojamas and Chumley his Des Koala? Well at some point in the game you duel either Oscillo Hero #2, Jerry Beans Man and Adhesive Explosive. In the cuteness factor, I strongly suggest Jerry Beans Man. If you don't get him, you can easily shut it off and resume from the save point for another shot.

With all said and done, I recommend Spirit Caller to all Yu-Gi-Oh! Fans, and you might learn a thing or two even if you aren't. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Continuation of Nightmare Troubador February 5, 2007

By Scott Shelburne

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Spirit Caller is a follow-up game for Nightmare Troubador with more and different cards, and a slightly different layout and story line. What remains the same, most importantly, is the battle scenarios. This is what has been so helpful for my son to understand strategies and problem-solving, while following something fun.

If you liked Nightmare Troubador, but were satisfied once you completed the final battles, move on to a new game. If you liked the challenges of the games and enjoy seeing new Yu-Gi-Oh cards, get this game without hesitation. The new layout and new story line will not wow you in comparison to Nightmare Troubador, but they keep you interested enough between battling duelists.

For parents like me, this game (as well as Yu-Gi-Oh Nightmare Troubador), is great at teaching strategy (and even reading!!!) and a game you can play together with your child - if your child is between ages 5 and 8. I guess for older kids there is just the fun factor. For adults, it helped me understand what Yu-Gi-Oh is basically about. On a side note, I still do not understand Pokemon, and I've now given up. Otherwise, I would write reviews on those games as well.

By the way, you do not need to get Nightmare Troubador before this game to follow the story and strategy line. However, I would highly recommend you do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good game but.....[a teens review] December 20, 2008

By yoly

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

I love this game really. I love yu-gi-oh over all and really im a bg fan of most of their games. But this game while it was fun and had very cool events and you can even make friends and track them to duel them which is a very nice thing. I didn't like the sorta time limits there was ("Woah its time to go back to the dorm!") And some of the charaters are just plain impossible to beat. (ok not impossible but realllly hard) Ima person who loves hard duels so I like it. You can even buy cards which i thought was nice since they werent a lot. overall pretty good but be a pretty big fan before you buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars good summary of the Yugioh GX season 1 & 2 June 27, 2008

By Scott Maxwell

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

this game is pretty sweet, its a great summary of the first and second season of Yugioh GX. if uv playd nightmare troubadour which is a summary of the original series.(which only ends with the final duel with Dark Marik). u will like this game its the same set up. but strategically its a good game with all the GX cards u know and love. it's a good summary of the first season but it chops up the 2nd season and ends the game with the homecoming duel which is the best part. the game does mix up some of the names of some of the cards especially the Elemental Heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT! September 13, 2008

A Kid's Review

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is pretty fun! I don't own it. My friend let me borrow it, but I'm SO gonna get it. I wouldn't expect this game to be so fun but it was! The only thing I don't like about it was the fact that in some Spirit and Shadow game duels, if you lose, you get game over! I reccomend reading walkthroughs and saving before those events!

Overall, I would reccomend this game to ANYONE!

Rating: 4.9 Stars (round it to 5)

I liked playing the game and getting introduced to both characters i knew and new ones too.
I also enjoyed the duels and constructing multiple decks and improving them as I acquired new cards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game! March 31, 2012

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

As a fan of the anime and manga the game is based on, it's pretty good. There's a good amount of different characters to challenge, and the card selection is pretty decent. Though, still lacking compared to the newest games, but it's understandable.
For fans of the GX anime, I would recommend this game.
