Played this at a friend's house when I was 11 back in 2005. I was a fan of the anime but this was my actual first experience with any of the video games or the TCG/DCG aspect of it.

While I definitely have alot of nostalgic fondness over this game in particular, playing it nowadays is pretty meh. You only get to fight Joey and the only real incentive to continuing playing is to collect all the cards. It gets pretty old after 2 matches. That being said the presentation is great.
