Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Like the Pokémon games, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses is essentially a computerized trading-card game. Unlike Pokémon, however, Duelist of the Roses is distinguished by a peculiar historical-fiction context and a startlingly steep learning curve. Yu-Gi-Oh! newbies be forewarned: this game is better suited for die-hard fans.

Not only does the game's story stray from the Egyptian setting of the cartoon show, it strays into a fictional history of the War of the Roses, a 15th-century civil war for the English throne. In this version of events the war is fought with cards, not swords and bows, and series-protagonist Yugi is actually Henry VII. There's lots more real and adapted history in the game, but it's really just stage dressing for a series of card battles. Players can choose to fight for the side of Yugi and the House of Lancaster or for the rival House of York. Either choice leads to different opponents and cut-scenes along the way.

The gameplay itself falls between the simplicity of rock-paper-scissors and the complexity of chess. Players blindly deal monsters off a deck against what your opponent pulls and the stronger monster wins the hand-- the winning opponent gets the balance of points between the winning and losing cards from the losing player. When a combatant's life points are gone the game is over. Duelist of the Roses introduces a leader card to the game, which players use to store their life points and to earn special abilities. Also new is a terrain map that will influence the power of the cards being drawn. For example, pulling a water monster near the ocean will pack more power than a fire monster.

What makes the game so hard is that the computer opponent is an ultimate master of the game's many arcane rules and the in-game tutorial is a little rushed. The game is forgiving to losers; one needs simply to try the battle again and hope for better luck. The graphics and sound are a little disappointing, but it is the first time we've seen these card monsters in 3-D. --Porter B Hall

GamesMaster Magazine
"Plenty for the Yu-Gi-Oh fan to love, including a built-in lesson in English history."

5.0 out of 5 stars yu gi oh fan, 18 Jan 2004
It is a great game I personally like the monsters coming alive and how you can move around.

Not as in the Game Boy one's were you put them on the field and they stay put its allot closer to the TV series in that way.

The game play itself is a bit harder than other games of Yu-Gi-Oh ,the field gives your monsters a advantage and disadvantage, it also reminds me of the dungeon dice monsters cos u move around.

In the latest series you see they have a special monster as the deck master the game also has this isn't it.

Your deck is a bit less powerful than your opponents but that gives the strategy ago as you have to think about every last move in the game,
and eventually build the deck up with cards that you win.

You don't get booster packs for winning you go on a slot machine and get 3 cards instead which gives the game it's lifespan, but I would have preferred booster packs in the end.

The AI is way smarter in the game as to other games as well.

The game is based around the War of the Roses hence the name Duellist Of The Roses, yu-gi being Henry Tudor which is all wrong as we all know that's all MADE UP, that the war of the roses was not fought with cards.

But that's the story line which is quite good once you get into it, at the beginning you get to choose which side you want to be on YuGi's or Kaiba's also the choice to have a practise duel which I recommend.

Now the graphics are pretty good if you ask me ok not the best in a ps2 game but this is only a card game really is it not.

You also get 3 cards but I wont tell you what they are as its a surprise.

Last but not least or well ok it is, the music it could have done with some different music.

Overall I recommend this game to fans of yu-gi-oh with points off.

lifespan-9.
graphics-8.
playability-8.
storyline-7.
music-5.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best game ever, 2 Aug 2005
By Weejohn "J. Cunningham" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
I think this is the best game i have ever played in my life. It is a great adventure strategy game with loads of cheats and secrets, to be revealed. Battle through both sides of good and evil. Can you master this great game.
