Dual Masters 4.99 At Best Buy

In another thread it was pointed out that you could order this game for instore pickup online and get a PONG T-shirt for the cost of shipping ($2). So about $7 total for shirt and game.
 
I saw it too for $4.99. Didn't seem like very good game. Wasn't worth buying for me just to put on my trade list.
 
Oh its a great game...Thats if the 5 off coupon didnt expire...man the was a great coupon...free games to trade in for credit...
 
What is this, a PS2 or a GBA game?

Edit: NM saw in the OP PS2. Will probably pick up if my BB actually has any. For $5 you can't go wrong. At worst it will be some cheap boring entertainment.
 
[quote name='NateWhs152']It's duel masters what the hell do you expect it to be. Of course the damn game sucks[/QUOTE]

Did you even play it?

Sure, it's graphics aren't great, and it's slow pace could drive some people away, but it's a solid game, and worth every penny of the $5 if you enjoy card based games.
It's true to the source material, and has a fairly solid play dynamic.

You could do far, far worse than buying and playing Duel Masters.
It's a solid offering, while unspectacular, it does not "suck", so long as you go in knowing what to expect.
 
i don't play many card based games, but how does it compare with Culdcept, one of my very favorite multiplayer games (that is assuming i could actually get anyone to play it, friends think it's gay but my cousins liked it)?
 
actually i never tried to get my friends to play, i predicted their reaction and kept it to myself. single player isn't that bad, but multi's damned fun.

Culdcept would be a bad example, as it's more of a card/board game fusion.
This game would be more like a fusion of Magic the Gathering with Yu Gi oh...
Cartoonish art style with kid friendly characters, but instead of the Yu Gi oh system, you have a resource based system (mana)

If you don't like card games at all, this is not a game that will sway you.
If you enjoy card based strategy games, it's a reasonable title, especially for $5.

JSweeney is right on here. The game plays a lot like a simplified version of Magic the Gathering (they are both made by Wizards of the Coast). I played through some of the GBA version and found it pretty entertaining. It is a great option if you want to play a CCG but don't want to sell your kidney to finance it.

If you don't like card games, or can't stand Yu Gi Oh style art or story, stay away.

By "kid friendly characters" and "cartoonish art", you mean the story characters, not the card art. Duel Masters is actually two things -- the card battling, which is a good, solid, non-cutesy card game, and the story and interface, which is little more than fluffy wallpaper taken from the TV show that you can easily ignore (although pimp-tyranny -- this is the part your friends will tease mercilessly).

I do think it feels a little like Culdcept, but that's because Culdcept feels like Magic the Gathering, and Duel Masters is a streamlined, re-imagined Magic. You are right, though -- there's no board game aspect. There's a thin story and quest for the seven scattered pieces of a super card. But the game is all about the card battles.

It's a well-implemented card battling game. Like you said -- solid. For less than the price of a deck, you get the whole friggin' game.
