The newest Yu-Gi-Oh game GX: Duel Academy, new monsters, new challanges, if you love Yu-Gi-Oh you will love this.
You dont play as Jaden Yuki, but you are your own self. The first deck you have is a fire deck, a wind deck and a water deck, more than not a starter deck, but its not that bad as in Yu-Gi-Oh games like "World Wide Edition". However, you got lots of new cards, enemies and challenges. There are some quite big differences from the other Yu-Gi-Oh games and one of them is that you are doing "dorm exams". From time to time there is a "dorm exam" , a exam that is out of three thing, first ten question about duelmonster, then a practical exam that i cant explane and the last one is one duel with the teacher in it you have to do something they tell like play as much trap cards that you can. The second differents is the points, some kind of money that you get with winning mathes and also when you get it from your parents in the game. With that money you can buy booster packs that are in the store and new booster packs come every two weeks or so. In the store you can also use the money to enter a password from a card to get it, but be aware thats not that cheap as the boosters.
There are also some new features like the "timed duel". Thats not really a duel, you have one turn to defeat your opponent, in which you have to think and you have time depending on the level of you "timed duelin". There are 80 different situations, in 4 levels.
In total you can have eight different decks, already by the begining you have as said three, fire, wind and water decks. They are nothing special, but they are ok for some time until you get enough money to buy different boster packs or enough money to enter a password of a card that is written on the card in real life. To enter the password is of course much expensive as just to buy some booster packs. Some of the cards that you can enter the password are worth money beyond your imagination. However, back to the decks, you can create, delete and name your new decks you can make. Its so awsome to make the deck of your dreams.
You live in a dorm, there are three dorm, the best duelists are in the "Obelisk blue dorm", the second best are in the "Raa yellow dorm", and Jaden Juki, his friends and also you at the begging are in the "Slifer red dorm". With compleating the "dormexams" in good way you can go to the next dorm, but dont think that is so easy. When you do one "dorm exam" bad you can be transported back to the dorm below you. There are several some kind of ranks, from a begginer rank to a "king of the games" rank is a hard way.
The fights are cooler as ever, the enemy says somethingin the middle of the fight, and im just so happy beacuse of the new duelmonters. I mean i love to play it, but it gets boring after i time, you leave it and dont play it for a while and then you start to play it again. I cant play Yu-Gi-Oh in reallity, beacuse nobody plays it so im very happy to play it here. And a not that nice thing in the game is when ordering your cards you cant look at the effect or the flavor text of it, come on Konami, how could they do that wrong, or am i just stupid and dont see the button for that, i dont know.
However the game is pleasure to play and mostly for Yu-Gi-Oh fans that need a refreshment. Jaden Yuki and his friends are waiting for you and a whole lot of new challenges.
