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.
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.

Since 2004, Konami has given the public annual releases of their World Championship series (although oddly enough the 2007 and 2008 installments were released in the same year). Even though the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise isn't as popular as it once was, these titles still manage to generate enough sales for Konami to keep coming back every year. This year they have decided to treat us to Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator World Championship 2009."
