sorry for riding OP's thread
what is the best singleplayer yugioh for ps2 and older consoles ?
didnt follow the series, so im a yugi newb (and prob a consideration for what i should play first?)
The only PS2 game you play as Yugi is
Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum, a cool game based of the
Capsule Monster game from the early chapters of the manga.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses also on PS2 lets you take the side of either Kaiba or Yugi for a weird board game approach of the Forbidden Memories format. They are both good games, but can take a while to get used to and don't really scratch the itch of playing regular YGO.
On the PSP, unfortunatelly there are only GX and 5D's games that are playable. A Arc-V Tag Force with a DM campaing do exist, but the fan translation is actually atrocious, so your only hopes of playing it is if you know japanese or brazilian portuguese (we have a decent translation for the game)
Quoting my old response for the OP:
There are a lot of YGO games for GBA, if you are looking for a Duel Monsters experience, I would personally recomend Worldwide Edition and 7 Trials to Glory for the games that follows the card game a bit better. But if you want something more anime inspired, Sacred Cards is a short neat game to experience that.
None of those games you play as Yugi, but he is an opponent you can face and sometimes a partner that follows you around in the case of
Sacred Cards. They are all good games, but if you really want an awesome Duel Monsters game you should look into the NDS for
Nightmare Troubadour:
But for real, if you don't need the game to be specifically for GBA, my favorite Duel Monsters themed game is Nightmare Troubadour for NDS, in that game you even have playable versions of all the God Cards, which most of the games I mention lacked.
In that game you play the Duelist Kingdom, Battle City and Virtual World arcs. Once again, you don't play as Yugi, but the plot is pretty much what you would expect and Yugi is a character you can face.
In most games you are a custom duelist actually, and Yugi is a possible adversary. Off the top of my head only Forbidden Memories (PS1) and Duelist of Roses (PS2) have you actually playing as Yugi.
Close. You do play as Yugi on FM, but Duelist of the Roses you are your own character (the starter deck is even based of your name), Yugi is a possible side you can choose at the start of the war.
