Best Personal Yu-Gi-Oh Game! iiGrinchii
So their isn't a review for this game, so I will make one, considering I've played it multiple times.
Let's begin.
Graphics; This game surprisingly seeing how it's a 2004 game, has really good graphics. The title screen, is amazing. As soon as you start the game it's like, wow they really put some work into this. As for the game itself, the graphics are much butter than any other yu-gi-oh I've played, even for the newer ones. And the reason I state this, is because how the game play is compared the others, game play in graphic/animation wise. So I personally gave graphics an 8. It's well deserved.
Sound; The sound is really well. It's something I don't get a headache from. Even though if you use speed, it's going to be choppy, but in this type of game, speed is sorta pointless. It's a strategy game. So you must focus, making speed up kinda pointless. The music really just fits in with the game, the mood, and I personally enjoyed it. Compared to other games, it's pretty much the same in a way, the creators just did really well with the sound. So Sound gets an 8.
Addictiveness; I will right off the bat tell you this game is addictive. I remember getting this game the week after it was released, and I would play it all the time. Sometimes I would take a break, but I would always come back to it and duel. This game just got my attention. It always brings me into that mood. When I think of it, I get a small chill, like I just want to play again. After joining Viz, I've played this game about 3 times, and now this will be my fourth time playing it once again. This game is very addictive. So I rate a 10.
Story; The game doesn't have much of a story. Their is no story line. Their much to it other than just dueling other people. No talking or anything special. But the game does have a small story line. It's sorta hidden, but it's there. I'm not to sure how I can explain this, however if you ever watched the show, and then played this game. You would notice. and what I mean by that is. Dueling so many times and winning, you will slowly unlock other characters, and you unlock them in a way that it would be compared to the story line of the anime. Anyways I rate this a 4.
Depth; The depth of this game is pretty detailed. You have to duel characters and win. And the more you win, the better chance you have of unlocking another character. Some characters are harder to defeat than some, some depend on certain types where you need a strategy to get around, and in general you just need to build the best of the best decks. You can have more than one saved deck, in case you want to switch a style of play. You can also chose random on duelists, and switch up who you play. Doesn't have to be the same person. Some characters are only unlocked after beating so many characters a specific amount of times. You can also unlock booster packs after beating a specific character so many times, or what-so-ever. So I'm going to give this an 8.
Difficulty; The difficulty in this game is hard. The first few duels are easy, you can train on them, but once you start dueling tougher characters, the game gets really hard. To a point where you will need to stop and think about a strategy. Setting up your deck in a way that you will be able to obtain a win or two. You will need to win duels on the easier characters to pick booster packs to get more cards, to help set up your deck to beat other characters, to unlock more characters or to unlock more booster packs, to get stronger cards. The AI is also tough. It's like it knows whether to attack or not. So the game is pretty challenging. I would so this deserves an 9.
Overall; The game is worth playing, it's addictive, it goes into depth, the difficulty is defiantly there, and it's a fun game. I would give it a try. Especially if you're reading this, I'm sure you are interested in the game, if you came to this review. So give it a try, if you don't like it, you don't need to play it, but for me, it's personally one of my favorite games. I hope you enjoy.
