 Activision Lost Kingdoms II (GameCube) GameCube Game reviews - CNET Reviews
But Lost Kingdoms II also incorporates some of the strongest elements of RPGs and collectible-card games: Tara gains experience levels as she defeats foes using her cards, and even the cards themselves gain experience, so they can later be upgraded into more powerful forms.
Lost Kingdoms II is a fairly good-looking game whose graphics are a considerable improvement on the original, though the standards of graphical quality have risen over the past year.
But Lost Kingdoms II and its predecessor are the only games that have seen fit to take the concept of a video game based on a collectible-card game to its logical conclusion--to actually manifest the card battles in the physical reality of the gameworld.

 Review - Anime News Network
The dramatic build-up with which episode 35 ended is well capitalized-upon in the first four episodes as the “A Great Distance in the Wind, the Sky at Dawn” story arc is brought to a decisive conclusion, but in many ways this volume also represents the culmination of the entire series to date.
Unlike some decisions she made earlier in her role as Queen, this ordinance is well-reasoned and strongly reflective both of her and of the kingdom she wants to build.
Twelve Kingdoms is best characterized as a drama set in a rich and meticulously-developed fantasy world, but this block of episodes sees a higher action quotient than most volumes in the series.
