The depth is only logic is difficult for laymen to understand and that is exactly the trap that Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force kicks in 4."

"I think, in the end, its fairly clear that Konami has crafted a game for fans of the 5D's series, and if that's you, then you are probably going to love this title. For anyone who's not a fan, it's probably a waste of your money. So consider this a qualified score, for people who want to try this game. But for those who do want to try it, you can look forward to a lot of content in a small package. Frankly, as a non-fan, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4 impressed me a lot more than I expected, and is a real highlight in the PSP library."
Longtime fans will have no problem diving in and putting together their favorite styles of decks, then taking them wireless to duel against other like-minded human opponents. There's more that could have been done with the single-player portion of the game design here, as after four Tag Force adventures the 2D cutesy style and lack of any real sense of interaction with the storyline or characters is disappointing -- it'd be nice if Konami could take some cues from itself, and from the more robust story modes being crafted for other Yu-Gi-Oh games on other systems.
