Description
Return to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! with Dungeondice Monsters. This addictive strategy game for the Game Boy Advance is an exciting change for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card games. The goal in Dungeondice Monsters is to defeat your enemy with summoned monsters by creating a dungeon that runs from your end of the playing board to your opponent's end.
You and your opponent each start with 15 six-sided dice and take turns rolling three of them at a time. The dice represent monsters. Each side of each die has a different crest. Depending on which crest surfaces during each roll, you can summon monsters and/or collect special moves. Once a monster is summoned, that die unfolds on the board, creating a dungeon section with six squares. You can then shape your dungeon by rotating this section with the R button. Once a dungeon section is created, you place the summoned monster on it and by successfully summoning enough monsters, you can unfold and link dice to reach and defeat the enemy Die Master.
The concept is simple, but gameplay is surprisingly difficult. You need crests for everything. For example, you might be able to summon a monster, but you won't be able to move it without a move crest or attack without an attack crest. Crests are also used for special abilities, magic, upgrades, and traps. And since crests are based on your collection of dice and the luck of your rolls, the game can get complex. Constructing the battlefield with unfolding dice provides almost unlimited replay value--not a single game is the same as any other. Unlike previous Yu-Gi-Oh! card games, you don't lose monsters if you lose a game. (You do win one die for winning a tournament however.) If you win a game, you win funds that you can use to buy new monster dice from Grandpa's Shop. You can also sell old dice. To top it off, you can play in tournaments and free duels and can even play linked duels and trade dice with a link cable.
Overall, Dungeondice Monsters is a fun and challenging game with unending variety--a refreshing change. --Bryan Karsh

DDM Rocks!
5/11/04
This game rocks! Ok, I know that it might get a little boring... mabye really boring... but that's only for a little while. I got this game a really long time ao and I also had a cheat book. I think that the cheat book is a waste of money! The game on the other hand is one of the best games I've ever played! You might forget about it for about 3 years but then you will probably remeber it and will play, play and $300.00 for the final answer! That's right! PLAY!!!!!!! This is the best game and it is also fairly priced!
Extremely slow, gets boring fast
This game is incredibly frustrating because of how slow it is. The AI is also dumber than any game I've played before. It seems to purposely lose. I regretted buying this game after having it only a few days. Stay away from it. If you must play Yu-Gi-Oh, get the card games.
Great Game
Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters is the 2nd YuGiOh game for the GameBoy Advance(GBA). It is different than the regular YuGiOh card games, but its still fun.
In Dice Monsters, you battle various opponents in tournaments and free duels using dice. Dice can be monsters or items. 15 dice are used for each battle.
The rules are pretty simple to learn. You choose 3 dice and roll them. If 2 or 3 of them match up with the same number of summon stars, you summon a monter and "dimension"(place) it on the field. Each dice has 6 sides, so even if you don't summon, you can still get attack crests or other ones to use later on.
Each monster is a certain type, and has 1 type that its strong against and 1 type its weak against. Very simple to remember, since there is only a few types of monsters in the game.
Your goal is to attack the "Die Master" of your opponent, and kill its 3 heart points. To do this, you must summon monsters and build a path to it.
There is over 100 dice in the game, and about 100 opponents in all in the game!
Opponents are fought in tournaments first, then once you beat them, they are in free duel. In free duel, you can battle them as much as you want. Each win, earns you 1 dice. You can buy or sell dice from Grandpa at the shop at anytime. Once you beat more tournaments, you will unlock more dice to buy at the shop, and even more tournaments will appear.
Alot of replay in the game, very fun for YuGiOh fans and non-YuGiOh fans also. Simple rules and pretty fast most of the time. Only downfall is some duels can last a while, the dice rolls are random and it sometimes can take a while to summon the right monsters.
Buy It Now
Play against the computer to get dice and learn the ropes. The first few tounaments are rather boring, but the pace picks up quickly. The real fun is playing against a friend. Buy it now.
OK
The game is a little complicated but other than that it's SWEET!
