Summary
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monster Coliseum retains the series' hugely successful basis of pitting monsters, traps and spells against those of the opposition, but transfers the action to 3D game boards. Upon these boards, players must make their way through a series of challenges, having created an army of monsters to send into battle against either human or CPU opponents.
As players make their way across the board, they will encounter opposing players who must be defeated in a series of duels. Successfully overcoming an opponent using the monsters and cards at their disposal, players are then invited to pick out the best of their opponent's cards, thus creating an even more powerful army for the tougher battles ahead.
Adding to the fun is the ability to mutate creatures to further strengthen attacks. Different species can be hybridised to create all-new beasts that benefit from the powers of the two monsters that formed it, while creatures can also be further evolved to expand upon their key strengths and place less of an emphasis on their weaknesses
The ultimate aim of Capsule Monster Coliseum is to enter the titular establishment in order to face the final challenge. Once inside, the player's army and skills will be tested to the full before they take their position as the game's top duellist.
Featuring the well-known characters and creatures from the massive Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series, Capsule Monster Coliseum is a worthy addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. The English and German versions boast the vocal talents of the actors from the TV series, and there are three limited edition game cards included too.
