Yu-gi-Oh! WC 2008 (DS)- Some cards don't work?

Question

I was summoned E.Hero Rampart Blaster and it was in defence mode. During main phase 1, I clicked on it to see if i can use the effect...i couldn't so i enter battle phase and i still didnt have the option to use its effect. I also notice 2 minor cards weren't working either.

Answer 1

for this card to work your opponent should have no monster on the Field, it's weird but that's how that card works in this game.

Answer 2

Yes some cards in the D.S. version will not work the way they would in the real world. Rampart blaster was coded to "Attack directly while in defense position" so if you have Rampart blaster in defense position and would BE ABLE to attack directly (I.E. if they have no monsters on the field) then your rampart blaster may attack from defense position. unfortunately it doesn't work the way it would in the real world, but such is life. So in short, in the D.S. version rampart blaster can attack your opponent directly, from defense position, if she would be able to attack directly in attack position. Hope this has helped, and good luck.
