Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds Review for Xbox - Gaming Age Most rounds leading to the final battle of that color have some stipulation on winning that makes you understand and use the new card you were given. For instance, there are rounds where you defeat your opponent by just staying alive for some number of seconds or being the first to gather 12 mana crystals. It took guts to use the Magic: The Gathering name on a game that shows little similarity to the turn based rules, but just like the broken Yu-Gi-Oh video games that stray from the card game, they should stick with what we know works. www.gaming-age.com /cgi-bin/reviews/review.pl?sys=xbox&game=magic   (807 words)

Last check: 2007-10-08) Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers by Atari Magic: The Gathering, based on Wizards of the Coast's popular trading card game of the same name, is now an interactive computer game. This game is a good introduction to the game Magic, especially for people who can't find others to play the TCG with, but it is very dated: Graphics are only 256 colors and the game is *full* of glitches, at least if you run it on Windows 95 or higher. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00002S8AQ?v=glance   (1762 words)

USATODAY.com - Magic the Gathering casts its spell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Eleven years after its introduction by a Seattle-area company, Wizards of the Coast, Magic is the most successful game most Americans have never heard of — unless their children have come under its spell. Drop into any suburban American toy or hobby store on a Friday night and you are likely to find a bunch of intense-looking youngsters, as well as a sprinkling of adults, slapping down bizarre-looking cards and debating the relative advantages of the "creatures," "artifacts," "lands," "spells" and "enchantments" in their hands. Richard Garfield, who created the game while a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania, says Magic allows players to "in some sense design games themselves." New types of cards are issued every year, and more than 6,000 cards are now in circulation, making for an enormous variety of ways to construct decks. www.usatoday.com /life/lifestyle/2004-06-20-magic_x.htm   (711 words)

Magic the Gathering Zone's Beginner's Section > Magic 101 At the same time, a Magic player typically requires some experience with the game and some understanding of the most basic rules: tapping lands for mana, the one land per turn limitation, and so on, in order to even think about building a deck. The basic rules of the game of Magic require that you create mana and then use that mana to cast a spell or power an effect.

IGN: Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds Review We're not huge fans of the card game, but we suspect much of the depth and detail of Magic the Gathering beyond the basic magic systems had to be sacrifice or streamlined to keep the action fast paced. The interface is very much like a fighting game, or better yet, a volleyball title with the two combatants facing each other and a dividing line between their two halves of the battleground. The system is setup around your ability to collect magic in the form of shards and crystals during the heat of battle to spend on the various spells that you'll be unlocking as you make your way through the solo Quest mode. xbox.ign.com /articles/442/442752p1.html   (1007 words)

IGN: Magic: The Gathering Online Review Magic The Gathering Online is a great realization of almost the entire tabletop experience and even goes as far as to smooth out a few of the inconveniences inherent in the physical card game while adding a few other new features all its own. Setup is a breeze and the initial distaste I felt from not actually being able to spread all my cards out on the floor has almost completely given way to admiration for the ease with which you can create and analyze decks. Luckily, situations like this are as rare as they are counterintuitive and you can usually do everything you need to do with a few clicks of the mouse and dragging the cards where they would normally be played on the table. pc.ign.com /articles/364/364054p1.html   (1333 words)

Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games: Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds (Xbox)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Magic: the gathering battlegrounds is nothing like the turn-based game that I expected with a 'Magic the gathering' game. This is okay for people very experienced at the game, like me, but for beginners and intermediates, it is so hard that sometimes they just take out the disk, throw it into the case, and throw the case onto the shelf, not to be touched again. To attach the Magic the Gathering licence seems to be a marketing ploy to attract a wide initial audience. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AN2D5   (1610 words)

GameSpy: Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds Review But while these sims offer the convenience of an ever-ready computer opponent, and collections of cards that would be expensive enough to require you to sell a major organ to gather in real life, they lack the physicality of the real-world CCGs, which is a major part of the attraction. Magic: The Gathering -- Battlegrounds is wonderful because it doesn't try to simulate the revolutionary decade-old CCG; instead, it uses the CCG's rules as the framework for a great video game. For example: Each duel takes place on a rectangular field, with a magical boundary down the middle that keeps each duelist on his or her side of the field. xbox.gamespy.com /xbox/magic-the-gathering-battlegrounds/6335p1.html   (608 words)
