Ok so I am going to make this review completely honest as to how I feel about this game not just as the game itself but also in relation to other titles that are YuGiOh. In terms of the overall game play, I.E. the duels themselves, while it is not actually the same form as a real YuGiOh duel, it is still a very exciting feature. Bearing in mind the age of this particular game based on the fact that it is one of the very first YuGiOh games the graphics are fairly decent, obviously not as compared to games today. The musical sound track to this game is simply wonderful and I don't feel as though another YuGiOh game has been able to match it with the exception of maybe The Duelist Of The Roses which also has an exquisite soundtrack. This game is by far one of the most addicting games I have ever played and though I have played a number of YuGiOh and other such games throughout my life I have to say that I find myself going back to this game far more than any other game I have ever played, Even when you beat it there is still incentive to keep playing and try to get better cards, something I believe to be lacking in the newer YuGiOh games. Now lets talk about the story for a moment. The story in YuGiOh: Forbidden Memories is positively captivating, from the beginning of the first true story point to very end of the game it throws twists and turns as to what may happen. The only real problem is that there are certain story parts that are easy to miss because you have to do certain things at certain times in order to catch them. The game is not as long as it could be in my opinion, I really feel like they could have added more to it in terms of base opponents for you to face throughout the story, however it does make up for this issue in that in order to actually move through the later parts of the game you will need to go back to people you have already defeated and beat them a few more times in order to get better cards or you will likely not progress to the end of the game. Now this particular feature could easily be viewed as a down side, however when you consider the length of the base game it really should be looked at as more of an upside. The difficulty in this game ranges from way too easy to near impossible as you make your way deeper into the game. In the beginning every opponent is very simple, but if you don't actively work to strengthen your deck you will quickly get left behind in the games pace for difficulty. By the end of the game you need to have a superb deck and a lot of luck just to actually beat the last boss which is a completely different kind of a pain in the butt. All in all I would say this is one of the best YuGiOh games I have ever played and has given me hours upon hours of enjoyment,

rareultra : Hey! Great job on your first review and first post on the site!

Just a quick tip regarding your reviews. It would be a lot easier for everyone to read if you put a few breaks in the text. This is usually easiest if you make each section it's own paragraph. When it's one big box of text like this, it kinda turns people off from reading it.

I also thought you kinda jumped around talking about games, rather than focusing on this particular game, but overall it was solid.

I look forward to reading more reviews from you in the future!
