After the extreme similarity of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s 2008 World Championship game to the prior year's 2007 product, IGN began to get concerned that fans of the card-battling craze weren't getting enough fresh content to justify the purchase of an "all-new" game. Those concerns, though, have been left in the dust. They are very impressed with 2009's Stardust Accelerator, as it's entirely a new creation -- still built on the solid foundation of the incredibly deep and strategic Duel Monsters card game design, but with a completely new and unique Story Mode adventure that rivals the feel of some first-party Nintendo console RPGs, like Pokemon Colosseum.

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.
Crispy Gamer writes: "I'd never heard of this game before it hit my doorstep, but the back of the box seems to indicate some mix of collectible card game and racing game. That's enough to get an hour's worth of playtime."
Stardust Accelerator is passable only when you look at what makes Yu-Gi-Oh! so popular. Konami only had to incorporate the cards and the rules (that have been in place for how many years now?) and they would've been golden. Everything else is below par and not worth your money.
ah a 8...
This game looks pretty good.
