Yu-gi-oh
The gameplay of this magnificent game is its shining feature. It near-perfectly recreates a real-life deal, with the same rules and cards. The battle system is simple, easy to use, and rarely annoying (the only exception is how the game will sometimes keep asking you if you want to destroy your own trap). The huge variety of monsters allows for themed decks, elaborate combos, cunning traps, and magnificent monsters that can blow you opponent away. Yu-gi-oh puts a lot of emphasis on cunning by allowing you to lay face down cards, and some monsters have effects that are triggered by laying them face down. The duals are always fun and different, because the decks are shuffled every time. Except for a few select opponents, the game is also not too hard. And if you ever get tired of fighting the computer opponents (although they are quite skilled), you can always battle and trade with a friend.
The cards you play with in duals all look very sharp and colorful, and it is never hard to see which one you are looking at. Although the duels do not look very fancy, the background changes depending on the field.
There is a variety of music in EDS, and not very much of it is repetitive. The characters on levels 3 and 4 all have their own music, some of it very good. The level 1 music can get annoying, though.
There is really no storyline in The Eternal Duelist Soul, but it does not really matter.

It does seem unusual for a game with RPGlike gameplay to not have a storyline, but it doesn't matter.
The Eternal Duelist Soul does not get boring immediately after you beat the final duelist; I am still not bored of it. It should keeps you occupied for several months, especially if you also collect the
