Yu-Gi-Oh! fans will lap this up, but it's the least beginner-friendly game we've ever played. [May 2009, p.88]

The game was so amazing, playing as a cute and powerful Duelist kicking the ass of some of my husbandos was amazing. The only issue is that you only have three synchro monster before the very end of the game :'(

The game was one of my favourite when I was doing tour of Europe. The difficulty helped me improve as a player of the IRL card game, even if the game had fewer cards.

There's plenty here for series veterans to enjoy, but the merciless complexity of the AI will intimidate newcomers.

An excellent port of the card game to electronic form. Previous versions have been successful, but the story line and the racing added to this latest edition, plus the inclusion of new virtual cards, plus the limited edition physical cards included in the case, makes this a must-have for any Yu-Gi-Oh fan.

I'm very impressed with 2009's Stardust Accelerator, as it's entirely a new creation -- still built on the solid foundation of the incredibly deep and strategic Duel Monsters card game design, but with a completely new and unique Story Mode adventure that rivals the feel of some first-party Nintendo console RPGs, like Pokemon Colosseum.

Fans of the series will be thrilled while the rest of the population is left out in the cold.

An update needed for some with the host of new cards introduced, but the basic single player Story Mode feels rushed and tacked on. Unfortunately, you can't help the feeling it's also the reason behind the rehashed World Championship elements, when development time could of went into giving us something fresher.
