I decided to buy this game because I can't let go of the regular XBox yet. I was always behind in the times when it came to video games and I probably don't see myself getting a Wii or 360 for myself until another couple of years pass. So until then I decided to get a bunch of old XBox games. The Magic: The Gathering game was one that I had a few years ago but I returned it to the video game store due to its constant freezing. I used to play the Magic card game during high school and wondered how different it would be to play it on a video game console. Plus it's a little bit cheaper this time around. Well it's much different, as the game really comes alive and it's not really turn-based. Of course there aren't as many spells as the card game itself but there is still a wide array of possibilities for decks. You have to be fast and strategic in order to get thru the game's quest mode, and it helps you along the way of how to play the game. Apparently, you could play online against other people on XBox live, but I doubt anyone is still on the regular XBox servers. I will be going to XBox live just to download more spells to use. But believe me, this is the only game of its kind. If you are into collecting unique games, or if you are a fan of Magic: The Gathering, then I would very much recommend this game. If you are looking for a card game that's more turn-based than dynamic, then I would probably recommend one of the Yu-Gi-Oh! games or the Marvel Trading Card Game for the PSP.Read full review

Magic: The Gathering has a game?!?! I thought, why not. I play the card game from time to time and rather enjoy it. So, why not? However, when you open the case and look towards the back of the instruction booklet, you see that you have a very VERY limited arsenal of cards to use, and it isn't even in card form. Yu-Gi-Oh already does better than them in this aspect!!! Turning on the game, you are introduced to the spells one by one. It's a good thing, but when would you have enough to actually do something??? And battle is real time, ok, so maybe a reddeming quality, WRONG! turn based seems better. Overall, a very average game with very minimal effort.
I bought this product due to having it earlier in my life it is an excellent game in my opinion , magic the gathering B.G has descendent special effects uses strategy also you don't need to like the card game to like this but if you do like the card game you should very much like this.dislikes about this game they didn't make a sequel =[ that is all my dislikes. i like this game a lot you can say i love this game.this game is unique very rarely find another like this cant compare it to pretty much any game.
This game is a great unique multiplayer game, as well as single player. In the game you have to develop a strategy to wisely use your mana power, which slowly comes back, to cast spells and make creatures to defeat your opponent. One hint I have is that you should not just use your mana power right away, as the more you have the faster you regain mana.
