Yu-GI-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5.




Yu-Gi-Oh, the world where card game is serious effing business. Yerp, that's right folk; where a simple card game can determine your fate. Whether you kill a person or not, kick your neighbor pet, thrash your friends toy, or even whether your are a semi-divine being in your past life can be determine by a simple card game. However we're not talking about that today k? Today we're (or rather I) gonna talk about the latest addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! PSP game titled Yu-GI-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5.

The story is quite simple in this game, set in the time where Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series happen; you are a simple no name red hat (until you enter his name that is) interacting and befriending with various character from 5D's to save the world, or just couple with the mook to win a card game tournament. Simple right?

However to meaty point of this game is the shear amount of card it offer. There are 4,727 cards, including cards from Starstrike Blast, Duel Terminal 10 -Raid of the Inverz!!-, Structure Deck 19 -Dragunity Drive-, and Extra Pack Volume 3 and game exclusive card to be collect and utilize to completely decimate your opponent! (Note: No actual character were killed in the game). For Yu-Gi-Oh! fan this is a good chance to create and test your RL deck. For those who can't afford to by those physical card, now its time to try the virtual one and battle with your friends thru ad-hoc!

The control is quite simple (Hey, its a card game. How hard can it be?). Basically your will be pressing the X button to interact with different command. The sound is fine. Although there is no voice-over..and I think they re-use some of the sound from last Tag Force. The graphic however is beautiful. The picture on the card can be clearly seen. The character portrait/profile is superb. And I must say, as usual for Yu-Gi-Oh! game, there ton of re-playability. There are tons of card to be collected, and each main character storyline is different from one another.

Well the flaw is there is quite a lag in this game. For one in battle, the AI will really take their time setting their card and all. And another is when your accessing your card collection. There are really noticeable lag.

My 2 cent? I'd say this is a must for Yu-Gi-Oh! fan. The number of the card available alone is  a big plus. You may even learn some new trick for your game.
