 If you're a fan of the card game, I'd stay away from this to avoid disappointment. March 30, 2008

Let me start off by saying that this game has almost nothing to do with the card game except for the basics you would assume it would need as it is a licensed game and all. The graphics aren't bad, tolerable I guess. The sound effects and music are pretty mediocre. There are no cards at all in this game, and the spells are extremely limited compared to the vast array of spells the card game offers. The thing that ticks me off most is that there is no strategy to this game. The whole point of the Magic series is strategy, but all you do in this game is spam spells as much as you can and eventually your opponent will be dead. Sometimes it feels like a really weird, less fun, version of dodge ball. I guess the best part of this game would be that I only spent $4.99 on it. I wouldn't recommend this even tot he most die hard of MTG fans.
 FUN TO PLAY WITH MY KIDS ENJOY IT TOO. Fast Shipping. Good Shape! January 27, 2008
Cool game! I play the card game and my 10yr old son also. I bought the video game just to see how it is. FUN! We all love it. Perfect condition and fast shipping. Thanks!

My two sons love this game!

Video games with strategies help
promote critical thinking skills.

Yeah, that's the reason why I rated 3 stars this game. As the card game, Magic is fun, but only if you have some pals to play with you. The quest mode its interesting, but there are 3 or 4 levels that are frustrating because of the difficulty of them. When you end all the quest's levels the fun is over. I have not played it in X-Box live, but I think that it could be the only reason for not putting it in the bottom of a box when you have defeated and unlocked the 70 spells.
I look forward for on-line download and more spells, but if the developers don't add more spells, I think that I difficultly play it again alone.
Beware! January 4, 2005

I don't know much about Magic the Gathering, but I like strategy games so I gave this one a try.
For a video game based on a card game, Magic is pretty action packed. In fact, the game plays a lot like one on one extreme dodgeball. The action is fast and frantic. There are two opponents on seperate sides divided by a line. If you cross the line, you lose life every 3 seconds or something like that. You pick up power ups that can be used to conjure up monsters or to cast spells. The more powerups you have the more stuff you can throw at the other guy. So basically you pick up white balls off the ground and then you use their power to send monsters to hit the other guy. Unlike dodgeball, though, you could even run over to the other side to steal your opponents power ups, or better yet, join your little monsters in the beatings. I guess it's more like streetfighter/dodgeball. The game is action packed, and it's somewhat entertaining, especially when playing with friends. I wouldn't consider this a strategy or RPG, but it's easily worth its bargain bin price. With this game, you definately get what you pay for. If you're looking for a real strategy/rpg, I recommend Gladius.
