Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos - Yugi the Destiny, Konami's latest title to bear the license of Kazuki Takahashi's popular anime, is little more than a bare-bones digital version of the collectible card game upon which the franchise is founded. For Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, the meager options make it less attractive than one of Konami's dozen or so other, more fully featured Yu-Gi-Oh! games, and to players who don't already have an investment in the series, it has about as much to offer as a game of solitaire.

Power of Chaos is a pretty dry translation of the Duel Monsters collectible card game.

The card game itself is virtually identical to the one seen in the Yu-Gi-Oh! cartoon and the real-world Yu-Gi-Oh! collectible card game, so fans should be instantly familiar with how to play. First-timers, of course, will have a slightly steeper learning curve to deal with, especially if they're not already knowledgeable about the basics of collectible card games. Most of the basics are elementary enough that you'll likely you'll likely catch on with a bit of trial and error, though the game features a serviceable tutorial mode, and the manual that comes with the game is dense with specific information about the subtler nuances of the Duel Monsters game.
