Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Wheelie Breakers (遊戯王ファイブディーズ ウィーリーブレイカーズ Yū-gi-ō Faibu Dīzu Uiri Bureikazu) is a racing game released by Konami for the Wii, based on the anime series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It was released in Japan on March 26, 2009 and in North America on May 19, 2009. The game sees characters race in Duel Runners, using Monster, Trap and Spell cards to gain a lead over their opponents. The game comes with three promotional trading cards.
Gameplay
Rather than following the standard Yugioh card game, 'Wheelie Breakers' is a racing title based on the card game. Players race along a track picking up cards and earning action points, which are required to put the cards into play and attack. Monster cards are used to attack opponents and protect from direct attacks. When summoned, a monster has a life gauge which, when depleted from enemy attacks, causes them to be destroyed. Monsters require action points to attack, with more powerful monsters require a larger number of action points to attack. Spell cards are used as power-ups, often speeding up the player or hindering other opponents, and can be activated depending on the situation (for example, some cards may only be used when you are behind an opponent). Trap cards can be set, and are activated under certain conditions, such as receiving a direct attack. When players are attacked, they lose life points. Unlike the card game, where losing all your life points results in a loss, you simply spin out for a short time when your life points hit zero.
Story Mode
The player is guided by Rally Dawson through to the Wheelie Breakers Championship, dueling against people across a virtual network before reaching the championship and eventually facing Yusei Fudo. Characters ride their signature Duel Runners (D-Wheels in Japanese versions), whilst those who don't normally drive Duel Runners (such as Leo and Akiza), use virtual simulators.
Reception
IGN gave the game 7.5 out of 10, citing while the game is rather complex, it comes together as a fun experience.
