Unlocking Booster Packs in this game is outstandingly straight forward as most can be accessed right away from the card shop and the ones that aren't available can be unlocked very easily via the Duel Statue once you have enough JP (JP are points obtained by having more than one copy of a card in your trunk) and actually having packs based on their real world counterparts means most fans should be able to dive right in. If you've never played the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V Tag Force Battle before than Tag Force Special is going to test you because the game doesn't really have a tutorial feature & although it does come with a difficulty select at the start of the game it still assumes you know the rules as the only thing it changes is the decks your opponents use. The stories aren't anything spectacular but often to the point and quite short. As with previous Games most stories in Tag Force Special are short arcs based on their anime story lines although you do get 1 or 2 stories that do attempt to be more creative with some of the less popular characters like Bastion Misawa and Ishizu Ishtar. The game has 25 partner characters (5 from each Era of Yu-Gi-Oh!) each of which have their own unique stories which as with previous Tag Force games will progressively unfold as you fill the hearts of those characters.
