Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories

Modern TCG fans will probably either love it for being simple and different, or hate it for being old and unlike the current game.

Daunting difficulty and narrow appeal...There are teeth of mine I'd pull with a pair of pliers rather than play this card game ever again.

If you're not already a master, skip this game and try your luck with the real cards first.

I would ultimately recommend this for either someone who has played the card game before or someone who has a lot of time to go through and write down or memorize the card combos and fusion results, since everything is trial and error.

An incredibly deep game, and being able to play with all the physical cards you own makes this game the ideal companion piece for avid collectors who want to see their cards duke it out in 3D.

Yu-Gi-Oh completely blows. [June 2002, p.103]

Esse com certeza é um dos jogos da minha vida. Joguei horas e horas dele quando era mais novo e ainda estava na escola. O jogo pra ser zerado você não pode só seguir a história, tem que ficar farmando cartas nos duelos livres pra conseguir montar um deck ideal. Depois de 20 anos que joguei esse game eu finalmente consegui zerá-lo porque entendi o que precisava fazer. O jogo tem muitas falhas, mas ele foi feito na época que as regras do jogo oficial ainda eram extremamente confusas. Mas mesmo assim esse jogo tem um lugar especial no meu coração e por esse motivo não tem como eu dar menos de 10.

So the only way I would complete this one was with some cheats in the emulator because the grind is simply too much. Once you have a decent deck you can put up a fight and the game has nice challenge though the IA is not the best, they do miss some opportunities. I liked a lot the story mode, felt like an anime saga from start to end and has the right spirit of the series. The only big problem with this game is the grind, its almost as the devs knew that people would have to spend countless hours on free duel to earn "money" and cards and therefore made an epic theme so people would not get that tired from grinding lol.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories é um clássico do PS1 e um clássico para muitos entusiastas do anime ou do card game, porém é bem polemico. Sendo desenvolvido antes do Tranding Card Game (TCG) e do mangá, Forbidden Memories pode parecer confuso aos olhos de alguém que já está acostumando com Yu-Gi-Oh! pois as regras aqui são muito diferentes das atuais, o que não é uma coisa ruim, já que o card game está cada vez mais frenético e o game de PS1 tenta adaptar as regras do arco do reino dos duelistas, onde as coisas eram mais simples. Porém se vc nunca jogou ou não sabe nada sobre Forbidden Memories, sinto lhe informar que o jogo não se importa em lhe ensinar o básico do jogo como o complexo sistema de fusões, onde farmar cada carta ou mesmo como ver as animações do monstros em campo. A história não é de todo ruim, parece um protótipo do que realmente seria o mangá, com varias ideias que para quem já leu o mangá ou assistiu o anime podem perceber certas semelhanças. Por fim, Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories é de fato um clássico muito divertido e nostálgico, porém tem seus problemas.

I'm just gonna say it. It's not a good game. The balancing and difficulty spikes just make this game incredibly hard to settle into. Getting the cards you need to make a competitive deck is also a frustrating affair with you finding one duelist that has the potential to give good cards and duel them again and again and again until you have enough of what you need to move on. It doesnt help that this game pretty much predates the actual rules so alot of the depth that is present in the game is reduced to how many beat sticks are better than your opponents. Add to it the story just spikes in difficulty to obscene levels in the final act involving an endurance involving 6 straight duels that are hard as hell and have no check points or chances to save. Honestly, had I not used the 3 memory card trick to duplicate my strong monsters and traps there is no doubt in my mind it wouldve taken me infinitely longer

This game is so unbelievably difficult and frustrating. I thought I would try going back to it for nostalgia, and see if as an adult I was any better at this game. No. Please also note that the majority of people giving this a positive review are all cheating in order to make the game more enjoyable. That's ridiculous! To make a game so incredibly difficult that the only way to truly enjoy it is to cheat and hack?
