Beginning of Destiny is a technically underwhelming, overly dry card battle game that we can only (and just barely) recommend to hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh! enthusiasts.

The Beginning of Destiny had all the makings of a wonderful Yu-Gi-Oh! GX title but its dull single-player story and little interaction with the world make this a boring and repetitive game.

Unless you are die-hard Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic with lots of experience with the game or franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Beginning of Destiny likely won’t captivate you on any level.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: The Beginning of Destiny is another generic Yu-Gi-Oh game with two major sections of gameplay that really do not blend to make a decent game.

A classic case of one step forward, two steps back. For all its positive efforts with varied gameplay and the new story elements, the core gameplay remains the same as it has always been, and the poor look of the game and the terrible sound quality really make this game a missed opportunity.

The only major reason The Beginning of Destiny would ever be worth it for any fan of the series is those three exclusive cards, of which you would need three sets to use to any effect. Konami may eventually get these games to be as consistently solid as their Nintendo DS iterations. They just haven't done so yet.

But perhaps the worst part of it all is that the transplant to a home console has removed a good chunk of Tag Force’s initial appeal: the ability to play on-the-go card battles with friends who also have a PSP and the game.
