[edit] The story
The Millennium Puzzle is missing. The player must help Yugi Muto (spelled Yugi Mutou in the English manga) find it and reclaim the ability for Yami Yugi (Dark Yugi or Yu-Gi-Oh) to appear. It appears that Reshef the Dark Being is behind the mysterious events and plans to shroud the world in darkness. The player travels with Yugi and Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi in the English manga and Japanese versions) to save the planet from Reshef. To do so, they need the 3 Egyptian God cards, but they have been sealed in stone. Freeing them will require the 7 Millennium Items, which have been scattered around the world. Thus, the player must travel around the world and find the Millennium Items to acquire the God cards and stop Reshef.

[edit] Reception
The game received poor reviews and very negative reviews. Many fans were disappointed by the game's portrayal. Many complained about how hard the game was, and many fans were upset with the game itself. There were a few positive aspects but overall the game was very poor in the eyes of even the most dedicated of fans. In Game Informer, it got a 4.5/10, so far this was the first (and possibly only) worst Yu-Gi-Oh! game that got a low score. On GameSpot in has a 5.4, somewhat mediocre. Some Yu-Gi-Oh! fans felt that the game was rushed during progress.
