Andrew Fletcher reviews Yu Gi Oh! 7 Trials to Glory, and is unimpressed by the world of virtual card ownership:
"The tournament begins as soon as you open the box. Out fall a 70-something page manual, three official game cards and a small poster brandishing registration details. It seems to me a pleasingly old-fashioned (that is to say offline) kind of community gaming, and certainly 7 Trials is a fantasy game that's in touch with its real world card game origins. It's all about buying enough card packs, then filtering through the crap and selecting your strongest 40 to represent you in duels. And since buying more and more packs will ultimately make you a better player, Yu-Gi-Oh! loses none of its consumerist backbone in the transition from trading card game to videogame."
