Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force takes place in the Duel Academy, an elite school for young duelists, and follows students of the Slifer Red dormitory as they go head to head with the opposing Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue student associations. The ability to set up tag teams is new to the competition this year. Each teammate utilizes a different deck, which allows for more strategic opportunities. The game also features a larger selection of cards than any previous Yu-Gi-Oh! videogame, giving players more choices in building their decks and new animations for each card as they are brought into play. As the Yu-Gi-Oh experience is based on competition, ad-hoc wireless multiplayer is available for two duelists.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force is rated "E" for everyone and carries a suggested retail price of $29.99.
