Finally beat the gamwe after 23 years!!! I played this game back in 1999 when the game came out but I was too young to understand the game but I came back and finally beat this game. Feel so good.
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.
A game I've spent literally hundreds of hours playing. Fighting the Meadow sage's underling 500 times so I could grind up the rarer cards from him like Skull servant & Dark Magician.
Eventually realizing I can cheese the game with the power of 3 memory cards & duplicating my saves, then trading over my best stuff to my main save.
I guess that's why they call it "forbidden memories."
Graphics were fantastic when you consider the time. Think about this. They had thousands of monsters in the game. All animated with multiple attack animations. A game programmed & developed between 1997-1999 had more detailed animations for their sprites than a Pokemon game made in modern times. A Yu-Gi-Oh game that was probably made on a shoe string budget had more effort put in making a game with real animations than some multi-billion dollar company does now.
Just let that sink in!
Game is nothing like the real Yu-Gi-Oh game. Imagine my surprise as a 11 year old boy in 2002 walking into Ridgemar mall for the Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, only to find that I have absolutely no clue how to play the real game.
Let me tell you, that was quite the embarrassing experience!
Overall, I give the game a 10 if you want a fun game that isn't anything like Yu-Gi-Oh but shares the images of what Yu-Gi-Oh is.
I would not recommend the game if you're expecting a game like the old GBA games or the game that's out on the switch now.
Still gets a 10 from me!
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?
