I love Yu-Gi-Oh! and have many different games of it. The graphics are good. Sound is ok. Nothing outstanding. However it is the game-playing where this game falls on its' face. I don't think it even has a tutorial to help with the basic functions. Customizing the character and rider is nice but that is about the only good point there is. Even if you a fan rent before you buy.

Thsi game has the cards, the racing... wait, the racing?? This game is pretty much only about RACING. True, you do play Yu-Gi-Oh cards, but it's nothing like playing another Yu-Gi-Oh game. So, racers, go ahead, Fans, please don't.

This game is HORRIBLE. One, the mosters dont even matter there atack dont even hit unless your rihgt next to the guy and even then its alomst inpossible to hit him or her so its basicaly a racing game. Two, theres no tutorial so you dont even know what your doing. I REALLY hope you take my words into consideration.\, so don't wast your time ordering this boring game, or as i like to call it Konamis WORST GAME EVER.

the rules make no sense the tracks are a pain they set up against opponents that that u shouldn't have to face until later in the game and the oldest rule of yugioh is killed off as if it never had anything to do with the game i say if your life points run out its over

i thought this would be good. i liked other yugioh games. The racing part of the game didnt wreck this game. it added a nice touch. the thing that killed this game in my opinion is that they dont give you enough good cards at the start. i kept coming near the bottom cuz my opponets got monsters but i got nothing good. After an hour, i put it in the mailbox. its not terrible. it just is too much about racing and not enough about yugioh

please try again

I got this game, played it for an hour, and calmly but quickly sent it back, I lost on the first level, and I had no idea what I was doing, the game doesn't even have a tutorial, and its really confusing watching everyone draw their strong cards while your deck only contains like 15 cards, so I suggest you avoid even if your biggest fan, because its confusing its annoying and after an hour its boring

This game is a bad game now I only played the story mode but I couldn't take anymore of this game, and here is why.

First off the story mode is short and I mean really short you could probably be done with it in 1-3 hours depending on how fast you learn,

and you will have to learn fast because it doesn't give you any instructions on how to play it just throws you right into the race.

the only alright thing about the game is probably the racing,

but I'm kind of reaching on that, it's not very good but at least it's something

my score for this game is a 5 out of 10

your best bet is to rent this game and see if you like it, but to me, I would rather get the DS game as they usually hold up better to their big console counterparts

Wii Need a Real Yugioh Console Game

The things that this game has:
-Lack of cards in the card store at the beginning of the game
-Characters getting harder and harder too quickly during story mode
-I don't have much to add since I didn't get very far

The next time a Yugioh game for a Nintendo console other than the handheld consoles like the Nintendo DS is made, the guys working on it should make it like a regular Yugioh game for all systems: just playing card games.

Wheelie Breaker: For Yu-Gi-Oh Fans Only

Based on the Anime or the Magna (don't know which word applies), Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Wheelie Breaker gives the fun of a racing game and the headaches of the card game named Yu-Gi-Oh.
The idea is simple enough - go through three laps against one or more opponents on a track. Whoever crosses the finish line wins.
But there's a monkey wrench thrown into the words - namely the card game. Players summon monsters to blast the other players, lay down trap to counter another player's attack or use magic cards to improve their chances of getting first place or by improving their monsters.
The main story line has you battling against several other characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's anime, starting with the weakest characters and working your way up to the hero of the anime, Yuskie.
Or you can also play a Cup series against the AI. There are three cups: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each cup has a set number of tracks. Win enough tracks in Bronze to unlock Silver to win enough tracks in Silver to win gold.
Or you can also battle against your friends with or without AI players in a single match mode, but you can only do it off line (no on line modes here.)
One major problem - if you're not a fan of the card game, then you are going to get lost trying to understand what all these different cards do and how they make your bike perform better. (There's a lot of cards out there to be discovered) This game will not give you any help other than a basic explaination of the cards.
You heard me: there's no in game help or tutorial on how to steer your vehice or how to build a great deck or any strategy tips.
Fans of the card game will find a lot to enjoy, and they should rent this game to see if it's to their liking. Heck, some of them may actually buy it.
But for the rest of us, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Wheelie Breaker is just too complex and convoluted to enjoy. SKIP IT.

This is not a very good game. Its not much of dueling but racing and the cards help you like speed up or slow the other racers down. The graphics are moderate for a wii game and the storyline is not good but short and simple. If you like these types of games and or are a fan i reccomend renting this game first before buying.

if any one is a yu-gi-oh fan ull like this game its based after the new show. In story mode u have to race other players and try to slow them down by using monsters or spell and trap cards.Their are two ways to beat them one by getting to the finish in 1st place or decrease their LP o 0. Its all about racing so if you are a racing fan as well thats good. over all its a funn game to play.

Ive been playing Yu-Gi-Oh for years and in my opinion, this game is ''NOT GOOD.'' A 4 year old might be entertained but not someone who has played Yu-Gi-Oh. First off, the card text has been change so if you see a card and recognize the picture it doesn't do what you think. And no tutorials. Your running blind starting off. Besides a cool cover this game has no positives. Bottom line, if your playing a Yu-Gi-Oh game that is not on the DS you,ve just been had. Keep this one under your drink and out of your WII.

I actually like the racing engine. The controls are really stiff but once you get the hang of it and stat boost your bike a bit it becomes immensely satisfying to handle the corners properly. Other than that the music in this game is amazing. I like the atmosphere in some of the stages. The game even has 2-4 player split screen and the gameplay works really well for this. The single player duels can feel unfair, so the game is about the feeling of having to "cheat" to win. Things such as saving all of your boosts until the last lap, tuning your bike to best suit that particular course, and unscrupulously using Sonic Chick to stay invincible. (and simply hope your opponent can't find a way to remove it) On second thought, boosting and Sonic Chick seem to comprise 90% of the game's strategy. Fine with me.

when first saw this game i was just thinking it was just going to be one of those dumb card games then i found out it was more than that it was a racing duel! i never thought they would make a game like that. the best character i thought to battle with {summoning} was the junkyard warrior he was one of the strongest monsters.
