Marvel Trading Card Game: Nintendo DS

I'm not much for reviews but I felt the reviews here were unfair. Let's get this out of the way first and foremost. This game is not for wimps or casual gamers. It has the steepest learning curve of any game I've ever played. Expect to spend a good day before you can graduate out of the n00b class and have any idea what you're doing. But I assure you, the time is well spent. Once you grasp the controls and strategy required you'll find a game of surprising depth and elegance. It rivals only puzzle quest for addictiveness. Playable (though difficult) to the end with only a rudimentary strategy this is a game that only truly comes to life in the hands of masters. Watching a person who has really taken the time to understand the subtleties of the game is like watching a general conduct fields of men in one orchestrated movement. It's sort of like pokemon games as played by those rare and elite breed of obsessive fanboys who understand EVs and spend hours catching the pokemon with the right

Marvel Trading Card Game: Nintendo DS

Trading card games, real or digital, are an acquired taste to say the least. You either get them and dig them, or you don't. I myself have never really been into these kind of card games since Magic: The Gathering when I was a kid, and for one reason or another, decided to give the DS version of the Marvel Trading Card Game a try. Needless to say, why you get a decent card game here, it's really for pros only, and newcomers to the genre are far from welcome here. Featuring a bevy of Marvel heroes and villains and various attacks in your decks, the Marvel Trading Card Game offers some interesting modes and ways to play as you hold your DS sideways to play (similar to playing Hotel Dusk: Room 215) and features good use of Marvel's VS system as well. What really sells the game however is the excellent use of the Wi-Fi capability of the DS which provides for some great multiplayer match-ups, but other than that, there isn't anything that card game players haven't come across before.
