Anime Yu-Gi-Oh DM7: "The Duel City Legend"

[Hittokiri Zero]

*Sighs* after downloading the newest installment to the Yu-Gi-Oh series yesterday i was both dissapointed and pleased with what i got, for one, i was pleased with the amount of detail put into the game development, the ability to buy cards from a local card shop, and roam around the "Battle City" were all some very great additions to the Yu-Gi-Oh universe. But after playing the game for about an half an hour or so i stopped... For those of you who have played DM5 and Dm6 you know that they use real cards and the official rules, when I downloaded DM7 i was expecting the same, so I was kind of in a shock when I got into a duel and noticed the similarites between the battle system in DM7 and "Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories" (for the PSX), In DM7 all the cards are real, but you play with a mix of real and made up rules below is a list of some of the differences:

There are no fusions, (I have yet to try this out but *I think* that means just like in Yu-Gi-oh DDS and FM, you cany layo ne card on top of another to fuse/create a stronger card, no fusion magic card would be needed).

The Monsters types *DO* play a role in this game, certain types are strong/weak against others

Another down to the game is you know longer see your deck when you draw the card the card just appears in your hand at the beggining of your turn, this may not seem like much, but once you've played the game you'll probably see why I do not like it.

Uh lets see what else did I leave out that you really need to know? Hmmm.... The graphics... For a GBA game the graphics in this game are some of teh best to date, the entire Battle City Enviorment is greatly layed out, and colorfully animated, the characters are also well done.

So despite the cons to the game, if your a fan of Dark Duel Stories or Forbidden Memories, you're gonna love this game, but if your a Yu-Gi-Oh fan who prefers the real world rules, all I can say is give the game a try, but your only gonna have a 50-50 chance of liking it. =\

Good day! :)
