Latest Update: Nintendo DS Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009 can be downloaded now.
Review selected from palgn.com.au:
Reviewing a game like this is hard. Not because it’s overly complicated – more so, it’s the type of game that you see released every year. The Yu-Gi-Oh! series definitely has its core followers. It’s established itself as a popular collectible card game, and just like Madden, has its yearly updates on a variety of gaming systems. For the hardcore supporters it won’t matter what we write here. For instance – Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s promotes swine flu. See, it won’t make a difference. For these players the yearly updates are needed to stay competitive. The added cards from the last gaming edition are critical in virtually recreating Yu-Gi-Oh!’s metagame. Like previous years, Konami are bringing another annual championship edition to the DS. However, it suffers from an identity crisis in what it truly wants to provide for prospective players.
The story campaign is nothing special. Players take the role of an amnesia stricken protagonist, who awakens in the ghetto slums that everyone refers to as the Satellite District. Slowly putting the pieces back together with the help of new friends, it’s revealed the player is actually a ‘Duel Runner’ duellist. The premise of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s revolves around this gimmick; having duellists motorcycle race against each other in stadiums known as Turbo Duels. The player begins with a starter deck and must search 3D environments to progress the story. This leads them to converse and, you guessed it, duel with characters scattered over the game world.
It’s an ugly game world at that. We know the DS is capable of producing good 3D visuals, but often the end result reminds us more of early PlayStation titles. This is the route Konami bizarrely have opted to go, meaning you’ll see plenty of jagged edges and awful textures at times. Animation isn’t so crash hot either, but if you can live with that and the visuals you’ll find a basic enough package of a single player story. There’s some light puzzle solving, road blocking opponents that must be defeated and of course the new Turbo Duels.
