Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: The first Yu-Gi-Oh! game to emerge on a next-generation videogame console, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses, traces the lineage of Yugi and Kaiba - as the two duelists clash yet again. Battling each other, as well as characters from the hit animated TV series, players will attack with a powerful deck, ferocious monsters and mystical traps. The new Card Movement Battle System ensures that you will have to think strategically in order to become the supreme Duelist, while 680 beautifully 3D rendered Amazon.com: Like the Pokémon games, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses is essentially a computerized trading-card game. Unlike Pokémon, however, Duelists 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 story of Duelists of the Roses 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 was fought with cards, not swords and bows, and series-protagonist Yugi is actually Henry VII. There are 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--and 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. Duelists 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 Amazon.com Product Description: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses features all of your favorite characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated TV series. The new card-movement battle system encourages strategic gameplay, while 680 beautifully rendered 3-D monsters keep the onscreen action exciting and engaging. The game includes three exclusive trading cards. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not what most people are expectingFirst of all, ignore the backstory. This game could very easily have been set at any point in history; aside from inspiring the classical background music, the setting has as much influence on gameplay as in any Yu-Gi-Oh game: nil. Duelists of the Roses is a cross between Duel Monsters, Dungeon Dice Monsters and shogi (not chess). Duels are fought on a 7x7 board; you have a Deck Leader that represents your encampment, and from there summon monsters from your hand to the board to fight ...

This game does have some historical content (war of the roses) and tries very hard to make you think that you have free will by letting you choose at the beginning whether you can be good or evil (With Kaiba or Yugi.) That aside though, the rules are different to regular duelling. It involves a grid of sqaures where each card is moved like a piece ...
