Look, to those of you who keep tripping over 'I see your cardz, hax!' this *ISN'T* a game where you bet coin on your hand. A lot of the cards and actions make NO sense if you DON'T get the quick GLANCES at your opponents cards.
Also what this thankfully provides for is working together or against eachother in 'local couch' mode. Too many card games pass on allowing multiple players playing at home. Even when you play against the house.
My wife and I played the crap out of it - she's actually completed the story mode where I focused on card collection a bit. It's a fun game, and it's fun to play 2v2 vs comp AI. GREAT deal at $20, I was happy at $40.
Not all is rosy, IMO 2 things are missing -
2 player local vs 2 player online, make it just for fun (not ranked) if want
- Also matching up with another player to take on Comp AIs.
No online trading... ugh, just ugh. I know it can be tough to secure...
- But IMO this and channels could have added to forming a community
There are sites and gamertags to look for online battlers tho too
Frankly I've let other games re-dominate my time, but its a fun deep game
And it's way > typical XBLA titles. Heck it'd be at least a $20 XBLA title.
So I'm not even sure what the point of that mention is, as it's $20 now.
If your still choking on the price pick up the used PS2 title if you can.
But compare PuzzleQuest + Expansion... IMO Culdcept Saga > that.
