While its not going to turn any heads when it comes to presentation or originality, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009 is a solid game thanks to its source material With nearly three thousand cards to collect, downloadable ghosts to duel, and online opponents to conquer, this game has plenty of bang for your buck. This is the kind of game that you can keep in your DS for quite some time. If you're looking for something new, you're not going to get it, but fans of series and fans of the card game will have no reservations for picking this up.

Trendy Gamers: After the complete disaster that was the XBLA Yu-Gi-Oh! game, my faith in the series had almost all disappeared. So, when I saw this game at the pawn shop, it took me some convincing to pick it up but luckily, it restored some faith I had lost.
Abridge? Whats that?
I watched the new Zexal TV show and it is atrocious, they really need to bring back the original characters.
