Why are people complaining about the difficulty of this game. I havn't played it myself yet but the previous games were way too easy. It's good of Konami to vamp up the AI; shows they're actually listening to us gamers for a change (If you're a depressed DDR fan living in the UK you'll know perfectly what I'm talking about).
What I'm suprised about though is that the game is a (E) release....Konami have always been shy towards Europe (the only Yu-Gi-Oh games we have are DDS (without cards) and the Forbidden Memories), also the Yu-Gi-Oh cards only came out over here a couple of months a ago. Plus we have some other screwed up Konami related games series' over here to *coughdancingstagecough*. So when did Konami decide to treat us nicely for a change by giving us a good game before a US release?
Either that or more likely Eurasia labelled it as (E) because it's a multi language cart as a lot of (E) carts are.
p.s On the subject of MTG and all. Yu-Gi-Oh isn't unbalanced, you just need to know how to play well and have a good deck (which isn't too hard considering it's about a zillion times easier to learn than Magic plus the best cards aren't necessarily ones that will cost you several hundered bucks each). Also although they are "fads" as a lot of stuff is, you must commend them on their sucess.
