Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards: Games
built 231 days ago
Both Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Sacred Cards and Falsebound Kingdom were interesting departures for the series, but looked better on paper than in practice. The idea of introducing an RPG element to the game is certainly a novel idea and one that could work, but the card game system -- which is the heart of the Yu-Gi-Oh! games -- were thrown out. Yu-Gi-Oh!: World Championship Tournament 2004 reintroduces the familiar rules from the card game and places them in a tournament format.

The first game slated for the Fall is Yu-Gi-Oh!™ The Falsebound Kingdom™ for Nintendo GameCube™. A real-time strategy game at heart, Falsebound Kingdom follows the adventures of Yugi and his friends from the Yu-Gi-Oh!™ animated TV show as they strive to escape from the sinister virtual world in which they have been trapped. Fans of the series will now be able to set their favorite TV characters against one another in exciting 3-on-3 monster team battles for heated duels that unfold on a colorful 3D battlefield. Vying for control of the map, players will form a team of three monsters and delegate commands to the team in real time. As the fighting heats up, players can unleash awesome special moves and visually stunning combo attacks.

The Yu-Gi-Oh!(TM) franchise is based on the Yu-Gi-Oh!(TM) comic series from artist Kazuki Takahashi that first appeared in Japan in 1996. It is currently being serialized in SHONEN JUMP, the monthly manga magazine published by VIZ Media. The comic spawned a hit cartoon TV show, a top-selling trading card game, popular video games and other licensed merchandise. Yu-Gi- Oh!(TM) follows the adventures of Yugi, a young boy who possesses the "Millennium Puzzle" that allows him to transform into the "Duelist King" whenever he is challenged.

The battles are handled through the familiar Yu-Gi-Oh! card game where players take turn discarding creatures that can attack each other, and eventually the Duelist if he or she doesn't have creatures to defend him or herself. Traps and spells enhance the creatures and players during their turn...the Duelist who runs out of personal hit points is the loser...so it's important to have a plan of attack with a set of cards that will do this job. The game features more than a thousand cards of different abilities, so there is a bit of strategy in creating a strong deck. Though the game tries to be an RPG, it really isn't. It offers the familiar overhead exploration perspective, but most Duelist battles must be initiated by the player with a tap of the R button...occasionally players will have to enter a battle simply by talking with an opponent, but these are rare.

The top four finalists will not only earn one of four spots to represent the United States, but will ... battle twenty-five competing countries from around the world for the coveted title as "Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Champion." These countries include Japan, Philippines, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, and Canada to name a few. The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World Championship event will be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 28 and 29 at the San Diego Convention Center and will be held in conjunction with the 38th Annual Comic-Con International.

The game consists of a series of card games based on Yu-Gi-Oh!. To win each game, the player must lower his opponent's life points to zero. This is done by declaring attacks onto him using monster cards. The player loses if his own life points are reduced to zero. Everyone starts with 8000 life points.
