    Great example of how-not-to-design a videogame. Instead of adapting a card game to take advantage of a console they tried to replicate the physical card play experience on a console. (Turn cards sideways on the screen to exhaust them? Really?!) Solitaire on Windows did a better job of adapting play mechanics. Stay away.

    A very deep game containing hundreds of cards - some better than others but all potentially useful. interface is good, if slightly unforgiving (no 'cancel' button), you've got a long and challenging single player mode and online play once you're done with that. The only major flaw is the terrible tutorial and steep learning curve. if you either love CCG games or the A very deep game containing hundreds of cards - some better than others but all potentially useful. interface is good, if slightly unforgiving (no 'cancel' button), you've got a long and challenging single player mode and online play once you're done with that.

    BY FAR one of the worst games ever created. You want a game that you will lose to the CPU EVERY TIME? Then buy this piece of sh*t. It no has no quality and the presentation and tutorials are a complete failure. Terrible game and one of the worst in video game history.

    I so wanted to like this game, I am a huge fan of the card game but controls are horrible and screen format limits the game in so many ways. Konami should have stuck to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s format.

    For fans of the Versus TCG only. I've been playing this so often my hands are cramped. The cut-scene artwork is interesting but the dialogue is drab. It's amazing how they've translated most of the intricate complexity of the game into a li'l DS!

    Its true to thereal thign and deserves points for that, but it is a LONG and HARD learning curve for beginnners, and the interface is miles behind its competitors (yu-gi-oh for example). It was mistake to make it exclusively touch screen, to not include drag and drop card placements and the play area is too cramped thanks to the decision to make it played on its side.

    Marvel Trading Card Game's voluminous stack of cryptic rules, absolutely brutal learning curve, and terrible in-game tutorial make it virtually impossible to play. [Mar. 2007, p.87]

    Marvel TCG isn't too bad as far as digital trading-card games go, but it's unlikely to convert anyone not already invested in TCGs.

    We absolutely found ourselves drawn to Marvel Trading Card. It's just that the intense complexity and cramped screen real-estate kept it from being the accessible, instantly lovable smash-bang, super hero-em-up that the comics themselves are.
