Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2
Second entry in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2, a digital collectible card game from Konami, launched for the PlayStation Portable in September 2007. It is the second installment in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series.
In the game, after creating a profile, the player selects a partner from the main characters of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. To duel, the player must build a deck of 40 to 60 cards from a pool of over 2,800 cards. Players can duel solo, in tag team matches, or simply watch their partner play. Winning duels raises the partner's heart level.
A mini-game also appears during class and at certain map locations in story mode. A high score increases the partner's heart, while failure lowers it.
A UMD recognition system unlocks rare cards by detecting other games in the Tag Force series. Different titles yield different new cards. Recognizing the previous Tag Force games unlocks three special cards—Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra—and makes hidden card packs available for purchase.
The game received mixed reviews. On Metacritic, it scored an average of 60 based on seven reviews. Sam Bishop of IGN criticized the lack of online multiplayer and the game's complexity for newcomers. Jeff Gedgaud of Game Chronicles echoed this, writing, "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 is a game for the seasoned Yu-Gi-Oh! player and not for the faint of heart." In a positive review, Salehuddin Husin of GameAxis praised improvements over the first game, including more animations and flashier graphics, giving it a 7.5.
