Yu-Gi-Oh a very popular card games has gone racing, literally.  Just imagine it Mario Kart + Yu-Gi-Oh it’ll be a game for the ages.

Attack people with your monster!

The game is kinda similar to Mario Kart, except you control the power-ups!

You start out as a nobody in the game, but as you go on you’ll be a somebody.  A somebody with some nice cards ;P

If you think this multiplayer racing game is all about dueling then you’re dead wrong.  Cards are important, but not as important as winning the race!

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Wheelie Breakers Gameplay

Controls

Surprisingly the game doesn’t have very similar controls to Mario Kart or any other multiplayer racing games.  The Nunchuck is for racing while the Wiimote is

Can you say drive backwards?

for dueling.

• Press Z to accelerate
• Move the analog stick to move (duh)
• Now you choose the cards you want the D-pad
• Press up on the D-pad to summon/use the card you want
• Press A to attack with your monster (when it is allowed of course)
• And you’ll love this part, shake your Wiimote to completely turn your duel runner around so you can attack behind you.

Gameplay

There is a story mode, free mode, and tournament mode, exactly what you would expect from a multiplayer racing game.

Play whatever mode you want and earn BP to spend on cards (but beware they are extremely expensive).

In races you begin in a countdown.  After that, everything goes crazy!  Use the cards you have in your deck to your advantage: dodge enemy monster’s attack while summoning and attacking back with your own, get traps ready for your opponents when they attack, increase your speed 3x, and much, much more things to do.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Wheelie Breakers Multiplayer

What would you expect in this multiplayer Wii game?  A race off with your friends!  Sadly there’s no Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but you can save your deck and duel runner on your Wiimote and take it to your friend’s house to compete.

Multiplayer

Choose free race and then select your amount of racers.  You can race against 7 other CPU’s only.  However if you want to race with your friends you can only race with 4 players.

Conclusion

This game is not a card game, I repeat it is not a card game.  It’s a racing card game.  So if you wish to play this game for the sake of the cards you’re better off finding something else.  However if you’re after a unique, fast multiplayer racing game this is it.

With over 100 cards to pick and put in your deck you can’t go wrong.  What’s more is that you can let a friend borrow it, get their deck and then race with them in the next week!

if you want a fun racing game where you choose your power-ups, you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
