People say:

I can't imagine many things more boring than a straight-up Xbox version of the Magic: The Gathering card game. Luckily, that's not what Battlegrounds is. Instead, it's a real-time RPG that features all the creatures and spells found in the superpopular card game. And I guess my luck ran out: Instead of being boring, it's totally unbalanced and infuriating. It's not so bad when tackling a human opponent, since both of you will have to deal with the game's tragic interface problems. But single player? Forget it. While you fiddle around with unwieldy creature and magic menus, wander your area looking for mana crystals, and deal with laggy battle controls, your CPU opponents work with the reflexes of a god. They never miss a beat and often overwhelm you--even on the easiest levels. It pushes the whole singleplayer mode way beyond frustrating and ultimately killed the game for me. So, if you're a Magic nut, you'll probably dig this game despite the ridiculous difficulty. But casual fans (or curious RPGers) should just pass it by and invest in a couple starter decks or something instead.

Half the fun of Magic is devising your own strategy and then testing it against an astute adversary. Battlegrounds ignores this crucial element of the card game's appeal. Nearly every match in the single-player campaign makes you cast your most recently learned spell to achieve some gimmicky victory condition (attack with a certain creature, survive for one minute while hopelessly overmatched, etc.). Even in Versus mode (local or Live), constructing your own deck is cumbersome, and you must unlock spells in Campaign mode first. Weak sauce.

Want to know what a spell of Eternal Dumbness does? It inspires developers to turn a well-loved, strategic card game into a twitchy mess that sends tactics on permanent vacation. Here, Magic is about who can collect power-ups and hurl spells the quickest. In single-player mode, the game is a joke, requiring players to play out a scenario in the one specific way the developers mapped out or face defeat ad nauseam. Where's the creativity? Gone. Where's the magic? MIA.

Description of Magic: The Gathering Windows

Read Full Review

One of the best computer translation of a non-computer games ever made, MicroProse's Magic: The Gathering not only deserves a Hall of Fame status for its faithful rendition of Wizard of the Coast's blockbuster trading card game of the same name, but also for the numerous innovations that are only possible as a computer game.

For the uninitiated (and have never played Master of Magic before), Magic: The Gathering the card game pits two players, as powerful wizards, against each other in a magical duel, where each wizard can cast spells, summon monsters, and invoke various enchantments or curses. The game is turn-based, with each turn comprising several phases. The rules are too intricate to go into detail here - suffice it to say that there are 5 colors, i.e. disciplines of magic, each with its own characteristic appropriate to that element. Blue, for example, is water, which prefers illusions and guile. Therefore, there are many blue illusion spells, and 99% of all blue monsters you can summon can swim. Green, on the other hand, represents Earth. You will therefore find many regeneration cards and forest creatures in this discipline. There are many types of cards: enchantment (which typically lasts infinitely, as long as it's maintained and not destroyed), creatures (which you summon), instant (spells that can be cast only once; the card must be discarded after use), land (gives our mana), artifacts, and more.

This computer game version, in contrast to the horrendous BattleMage game from Acclaim which is based on the same license, truly brings all the fun and subtleties of the card game to life via an elegant point-and-click interface and excellent graphics that does justice to the cards' original intricate artwork.

Not content with giving the players just a card game rendition, MicroProse wraps the entire card-game mechanics around an epic fantasy storyline, set in the world of Shandalar. As a novice but noble wizard, your goal is to defeat the powerful evil wizards who are wrecking havoc on the land. After creating your character, you start with a random deck, which include very standard (i.e. not very powerful) cards, most of the color of your choice. You amass more powerful cards by winning duels with wandering monsters, or taking on quests in the various villages using the multiple-choice interface that is based on a simplified version of Darklands engine.

The game also introduces a new concept of gems: which are difficult to obtain, but can be used as currency to trade for powerful, permanent artifacts that enhance your wizard's power (for instance, magical boots that lets him walk quicker than normal). There are 5 powerful wizards, one for each color, whom you must defeat, each of whom reside in a heavily-guarded fortress.

The bad news (and my only big gripe with the game) is that you cannot save in these castles (or any dungeon, for that matter). This means that you will have to replay many, many hours of stressful duels if you die right before getting to the damn room where the enemy wizard is in. Of course, defeating each of them gives you a great sense of accomplishment, and the best news is that all the minions of that wizard disappear forever from the game. No more centaurs once you defeat the green wizard, for example.

Another nice touch is the fact that every time you defeat a monster, you will see its boss lose some magical power (they are all psionically connected, it seems). It is therefore possible to gauge your progress, and see when the wizard is weakened enough for you to summon the confidence to attack his or her stronghold.

Virtually infinitely replayable, with gorgeous SVGA cards and backdrops, an extremely elegant gameplay interface, and a challenging AI, Magic: The Gathering is a definite must-have for every strategy gamer's collection. If you have never played the card game before, this computerized version could turn you into a hapless addict. And if you're a fan of SimTex' Master of Magic which is based on the card game, you're in for a real treat. *

Note: For some strange reason, Hasbro has stopped selling this original game, but they still sell Spells of the Ancient, a great expansion pack that not only allows you to use additional cards, but also adds the much-needed multiplayer mode (called 'ManaLink'), and an authentic 'sealed deck' option that is used in real MtG tournaments. Duels of the Planeswalkers, the last and best of the MtG games, boasts a much-improved AI, more cards, and multiplayer modes. It is therefore the most 'complete' of all MtG games, and so is well worth hunting down on on-line stores and auction sites.
