Even still, it wasn't just the crack of the freelance whip that had me wanting to play more beyond the teenybopper visuals, there's a stunningly complex game. If it sounds like a complete dork is summarizing the myriad plot and character details, that's because I'm wholly unfamiliar with the manga, anime and games (yes, the series comprises a trifecta of different mediums, as ultra-popular Japanese franchises are known to do).

The core idea is that you're a cutesy little super-deformed student at a dueling academy, a school set up for kids who just want to throw down - card battle style. This is precisely what GX Tag Force 2 does - provided you give it the chance and you've got a genetic predisposition to card collecting sessions and more than a few hours of deck tinkering - and though the game is clearly aimed at kids (just look at the art style, which is identical to the first game), there's more than enough depth here to provide even older PSP owners with something to chew on for weeks if not longer. Granted, in the case of a franchise like Yu-Gi-Oh!, it also means having to dig through an extra layer of mythos and mechanics that seem incredibly daunting (and make no mistake, if you've never dabbled in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, it's almost offensively complex), but there are times when even an overwrought battle system and humdrum day-to-day activities can meet in the middle to absolutely destroy any semblance of productivity.

The plus side is exposure to games you would have never even considered otherwise.

Part of a freelancer's job with just about any writing gig is to charge headlong into a sea of horrid licensed games and rejected mascot pap because, frankly, nobody else wants to - and rightly so the normal day-to-day reviewing duties of your average editor are filled with enough crappy gaming experiences to scare away newcomers for life, so it takes a particular kind of masochism (and an empty bank account) to happily skip into the minefield of review rejects.
