IGN
Beginning of Destiny is a technically underwhelming, overly dry card battle game that we can only (and just barely) recommend to hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh! enthusiasts.

GameZone
The Beginning of Destiny had all the makings of a wonderful Yu-Gi-Oh! GX title but its dull single-player story and little interaction with the world make this a boring and repetitive game.

Unless you are die-hard Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic with lots of experience with the game or franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Beginning of Destiny likely won’t captivate you on any level.

Cheat Code Central
A classic case of one step forward, two steps back. For all its positive efforts with varied gameplay and the new story elements, the core gameplay remains the same as it has always been, and the poor look of the game and the terrible sound quality really make this game a missed opportunity.

Games Radar
But perhaps the worst part of it all is that the transplant to a home console has removed a good chunk of Tag Force’s initial appeal: the ability to play on-the-go card battles with friends who also have a PSP and the game.
