Taking place in a futuristic Yu-Gi-Oh! world, Konamis newest video game in the series introduces players to a whole new cast of characters & monsters, new cards & incredible dueling action. The game starts with players entering the Duel Academy school where they can personalize their character & learn how to perfect their dueling skills with in-game tutorials & periodic quizzes. The better the player performs in class & the more duels they win, the higher their ranking will be in the game. Players try to ascend the Duel Academy ranks to become the ultimate duel master. Further adding to the excitement of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy is the inclusion of a unique personal digital assistant (PDA) inside the gameplay. Players use the PDA to keep track of quiz & test scores, note important events & communicate with other characters in the game. in addition, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy also comes packed with three limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! cards: Elemental Hero Necroshade, Hero Wing, & Winged Kuriboh.
