Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009


If the title makes sense, then so will the game

Some Yu-Gi-Oh! titles are perfectly playable without prior knowledge of the trading card game. Not so here. This, the latest in the World Championship series, is firmly for fans only and utterly impenetrable to the uninitiated. And why not? Dumbing it down for noobs would no doubt infuriate the faithful, who will of course know that 5D’s is the new anime series and the basis for this game outing.

This is a decent package. On offer is a fat story mode, with high-quality animated cutscenes fleshing out the tale of a young duelist with amnesia who battles with characters from the TV series. In World Championship mode you can play solo or get on Wi-Fi to have it out with anyone in the world. Good stuff for the hardcore.
