Video Game Reviews of Eye of Judgment
Customer Review: Great Idea - Bad Implementation
Summary: 3 Stars
Pros
* excellent game design
* balanced cards
* good graphics
Cons
* horrible implementation
* cards cost $$$
While I really enjoyed this game for the short few weeks that I played it, I quickly became annoyed trying to get the eye to read the cards. You have to have just the right amount of light for it to work. And you have to pay extra if you want to see some more cards.
The fact that you actually have to "play" the cards makes it a unique game. Eye games can be fun. But they could have done so much more with this game. Hopefully they'll take the ideas they got from this development and make something better next time.
Customer Review: Fans of Trading Card Games will Love This
Summary: 4 Stars
For fans of trading card games like Magic: The Gathering, The Eye of Judgment will prove to be a fun and challenging game.
The game is very well put together-from the innovative camera system which works nearly perfectly reading the cards and making the action come alive on-screen, to the challenging game itself with many strategic aspects from building a deck to deciding how to play your hand.
The only thing that may be considered lacking would be a story-mode or more encompassing single player game. But when it comes to trading card games, sometimes an exhausting story can get in the way of just wanting to play a duel. (Some may remember the old PC game of Magic: The Gathering which included a story mode. All the reviews at that time were the opposite-many said they should have scrapped the story mode because players just come for the duels.)
As the other reviewer mentioned, this game and it's included PS3 Eye make a great start to the game. Once you get into it, you will want to get other decks and cards, but that's always been the draw of trading card games, and it's fun to get the booster packs and find out what new cards you find.
If you're a trading card game fan, you won't be disappointed with this game!
Customer Review: easy to play card game
Summary: 3 Stars
cards are read by the camera and appear on the screen, makes it easy to play.
you get one starter deck, 30 cards, and 8 cards from a booster. the booster had a couple repeats from my starter deck.
it's fun for the first couple hours but you'll find yourself wanting new and better cards.
when you play, there is no storyline or campaign, you can play against the computer or against a friend (you can't out of the box). only get this game if you're planning to buy 1-2 more decks.
Customer Review: Where did the day go?
Summary: 5 Stars
I opened up the Eye of Judgement today and went through the tutorial and started playing right away. I held off in using the booster pack. I kept it sealed until I felt I deserved the new cards. Maybe I would treat myself if I could beat the computer twice in a row. I honestly don't know where the time went. It had been 6 hours and I hadn't even thought about the booster pack. I was taking a quick break to grab something from the fridge when I happened to see the pack under the box. It is so much fun to see the cards being read by the camera and then brought to life on the screen. I am worried, however, because I want more cards. New cards. Different creatures. Brand new spells. I'm heading out first thing tomorrow for more booster packs, as soon as I play a few hands to get warmed up. Perhaps I can work in lunch somewhere along the way. I am obsessed with this game. If you buy it maybe we can play together on line someday. Customer Review: Great Game! Forget everyone elses review and read this one.
Summary: 5 Stars
Being an avid MTG player for over 10 years, I was looking for something new and fresh. I picked this up and haven't put it down since it works very well and I just love the on screen animations its so interactive and highly addicting. For the price you cant go wrong I, the eye is 40 bucks alone your getting a great package deal. For everyone that says setup is a chore or takes to long is being ridiculous and just searching for something to complain about or just really lazy, it takes less than a minute to setup the camera. The costs of cards are a little much sometimes but you can't put a price on pure entertainment!
