Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum Critic Reviews

The amount of strategy required to play this game is impressive, if not intimidating. It will take some time to understand the mechanics of the game, but once you do, you’ll likely find the gameplay strangely addictive.

The game at the core of Capsule Monster Coliseum actually borders on engaging, and as such comes incredibly close to being worth playing for those who aren’t fans of the series. But close, as they say, only counts for horseshoes and hand grenades: not PS2 games.

The marriage of the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe with strategy-based combat is an addictive one, making this game one that even the curious fan should check out.

At least mildly accessible and appealing even for entry-level fans.

As a turn based battle game however, it’s not very good. You are given a small amount of creatures, a single strategy that will win almost every time, and lackadaisical enemy AI.

For the rest of us , it's a passable strategy RPG.

There is some decent music and graphics that don't make me want to die. I guess that's the highest recommendation I can offer on this one.

Just because this is an original concept, doesn’t mean that it is any fun. In fact, I prefer the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game to this monster chess game.

Somewhere there is an audience for the kind of soul-crushing ennui that Capsule Monster Coliseum drapes around you like a ravenous anaconda…made of ennui.
