Where to start?

Well, I can remember the day a bought this game. I was probably around 11 at the time and had been playing MTG for about a year or so by that time. I was so excited to have a console game with as much depth as my new addiction (and I figured it would prove a whole lot cheaper than buying cards)

I popped this thing into my play station and started on a conquest. Then I read, and read, and read, and read. Made a choice. Read some more, continued reading, made more choices... etc.

Eventually I had chosen enough right things that i had a good chunk of land under my name, and a few decent cards. I then got a chance to experience my first electronic MTG battle. Long story short, I lost. I had no idea what was going on. I was on a playing field with things flying at my planes walker and I was trying to throw some spells at my enemy (but I couldn't find them!) This went on for awhile until I finally died. I played quite a few of these battles before finally realizing what was going on. I did eventually get the hang of it, and believe it or not I managed to beat the stupid thing (and I couldn't even tell you what the ending was) The multi-player and dueling modes were worthless.

I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. Ever. I don't care what you like in games, this is not it. Go throw a ball up and down in your back yard, chances are at least gravity won't cheat.

  2. Microsoft is set to unleash Surface. Wouldn't it be perfect for Magic: The Gathering?
