Losing consecutive duels results in decreased difficulty for the first time in Power of Chaos games. Later difficulty levels (8-9) allow the opponent to use different Decks in that same level. As you win duels, the difficulty increases, and the opponent swaps his Deck for a more potent one every time this happens.
New game features include a ranked difficulty for the computer opponent, denoted by a star gauge in the Duel menu, which ranks from 1 star to 9. The cards from the previous two games, if installed, are included. The game also adds new dueling choices, new dueling options and more Decks for the opponent, making this the Power of Chaos game with the most content. This game features Yugi's friend Joey Wheeler as the opponent and typically urban themed menus and fields. The game features 771 cards, including 234 new cards and 466 cards which were introduced in the previous two games of the series. It is also the final game of the Power of Chaos game series.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Joey the Passion is the third Yu-Gi-Oh! game for PC.
