In order to win the grand prize of using the Duel Academy Island for one day, players must use their cards wisely in battles that are separated into six phases. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force is the first Yu-Gi-Oh! title released onto the PSP, and requires gamers to "tag" between two characters during battles in an effort to come out victorious. Players who find themselves in a tight spot mid-duel can switch to the other avatar and continue dueling with a different set of cards. Players must overcome enemies from the television series, including Alexis Rhodes, and Jaden Yuki, by summoning the correct creatures for the job. Up to four players may compete in duels by connecting to a local wireless network.
