Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for PS1. At first it may seem playable, but then once you get to a certain point, the game is entirely stacked against you. Not only do the card game rules for this incarnation make it so that basically all that matters are attack values and destrucive effect, resulting in unarguable brokenness, but at a certain point your opponents start carrying cards that are worlds more broken than yours. This might not be so bad if IT WASN'T NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CARDS THAT CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO COMPARING TO THEM!!! In the other games, you usually get an assortment of five cards once you beat someone, but in this one you only get one, and if memory serves me correctly it almost always sucks. Also, the other games allow you to enter in a password found on the actual cards you own to get that card in the game. You can do that in this one too, but there's a catch; you have to actually BUY it with these star points or whatever that you earn in the game, and they're always rediculously overpriced. So, this means to get good enough cards to advance through the game, you have to play the same opponents non-stop to increase your card collection by one every time and hope against the odds that it might be a good card, and even if so it's only ONE good card, and if you want to be able to buy any good cards you have to fight the same people over and over for like 1-5 star points per game, which is next to nothing, and in the end it'll take you weeks or even months of non-stop repetitiveness to advance through the game, which sucks to begin with. I even used Gameshark to give myself the best concievable deck, and it still wasn't that easy to beat the game. I don't think this game is even beatable if you don't use a cheating device, unless you spend a year playing it non-stop every day, and if anyone would actually do that they'd in the end realize how stupid that was and kill themselves. Come to think of it, the makers of this game were probably in an agreement with Gameshark to make it so people would buy Gamesharks just so they could beat the game.
In the end, it's just a ****ty, effortless game made to milk off of a popular franchise. The only Yu-Gi-Oh! games that are even worth considering purchasing are the ones that actually follow the rules of the actual game, but even then there is a lot of repetition. Really, even the actual game itself is very unbalanced. Though, I've moved away from TCGs altogether, because in the end you're going to be spending quite a bit of money, and even if you have all the skill in the word, you still need those cards to bring it to life. If you want to play a TCG for fun, just download a free online program that lets you use all of the cards from the start.
