Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos: Joey the Passion review:5 stars (this rocks!@!!!!!!!!!) - okay, lets get started. this game is for veteran players (i recommend) cuz joey is very cunning and tends to go for flashy moves, and uses brute strength too with a very nice combination of magic and trap cards. he also may be very annoyin sometimes. i liked this game cuz it was a grea t improvement over yugi the destiny ( which i have and think its too easy to beat) and kaiba the revenge ( which was too hard for beginers and had WAY too many complicated cards) i'm a pretty decent duellist myself too.

some combos to look out for: summoner of illusions effect: summon a fusion card on the field and at the end of the turn, destroy the fusion card. activates by sacrificin summoner of illusions. he really got me with that one. it's hard to counter and it's surprisin to see blue-eyes ultimate dragon attackin u.
5 stars (BIG improvement over Yugi the Destiny) - So Konami did OK with Yugi, but left room for a lot of improvement. They did better with Kaiba, but still had some things to work out. Would the third time be the charm with Joey, and see them produce an excellent game?

The short answer: an emphatic YES. For starters, Joey has over 700 cards you can access, including all the ones from Yugi and Kaiba. You don't have to do anything to access cards already won on the two previous games, the program automatically gives them to you. Joey also contains a "level stars" system that allows you to track your skill level, and Joey alters his deck and his playing abilities to match yours. Even better, you can LOSE levels with losses, so there's always incentive to win enough times just to stay where you are! For fans of the cartoon series, Joey plays with a variety of decks as featured in various episodes: Escaroba's "Jinzo" deck, evil Bakura's "Spirit Board" deck, Weebil Underwood's "Insect Queen" deck, the "Revival Jam" deck used by the Marek slave that had "Slyther, the Sky Dragon" (though no Slyther is in it), etc. (I've not gotten to level 9--it's tough just trying to stay at level 8--so maybe Joey uses Marek's or Pegasus's decks at that level?) The game always remains a challenge, and with all the new cards, there's always something new to try for.

In addition, the graphics and music are great, and Joey's smart-aleck dialogue gets you into the action enough to where you want to put your fist through the screen to shut the little punk up. (Unfortunately, you still have no way of turning it off in case you want to save your monitor from such violence.) You also have the option of limiting Joey to just the cards in the "Joey" set, or allowing him access to all the cards available. You can block "forbidden" cards from being used or allow them into the game for more possible playing combinations. And you can import/export cards as you can in the other versions.

The only minor complaint I have (other than not being able to shut Joey up short of turning off the sound) is that you can sometimes win a special-tribute monster card before you win the necessary cards to summon it. I've won three "Red-Eyes Metal Dragon" cards...but STILL haven't won the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" card needed to use it! Eh, well...There's plenty of other strong monsters to be more than a match for Joey. This is an excellent game.5 stars (One of the Best Yu-gi-oh Dueling Games) - The Power of Chaos trilogy is great. The details on each card are just superb. You can collect over 700 cards in Joey the Passion including the cards in the earler games. In this game you can use the battle LAN method to play via internet. Another great thing about this game is that Joey occasionally changes his deck structure completely and is obviously harder than Yugi or Kaiba. If you are looking for a dueling challenge, this game is the one.
