8.0

"As we've mentioned above, Eye of Judgment will appeal to a very, very select audience, but that audience will get a lot of enjoyment out of the title. I personally had a great time with it, although not everyone in the office had the same reaction. Take this into account before investing the money, but we can say with confidence that this is a fun card game that, if in the hands of card lovers, will be rather well received.

Now go do some Judging."

9.0 Presentation
Impressive attention to detail, rad opening, and sweet cards. Eye of Judgment was designed with presentation in mind.
7.5 Graphics
Nice visuals make the creatures really come to life, and the fantastical environments look great.
7.5 Sound
Intense metal music throughout; we liked it - you may not. Some of the creature voices are fun, while others are a little forced.
7.5 Gameplay
A great card dynamic that works well with the PlayStation Eye. Lack of a story mode is a real letdown, though.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
This really depends on how long you like playing card games, but be weary of the lack of single-player options.

I see, eight exclamation points for the 8.0.

The 1 is the score + 1, which is what he believes this game should have got

 

[MoxManiac]

I'm having second thoughts, mainly because I don't want to invest in another card game ._.

 

[Kade]

In before "So it's better than *".

 

[DuckRacer]

So basically it's worse than NFS Carbon.

 

[Infernodash]

So it's better than Everyday Shooter?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Just bought Folklore, might get this later now.

Uh... old?

IGN: Not enough Needler guns: -1

 

[Xavien]

Whats with the Anihawk clones in here?

 

[Kittonwy]

WTF kind of story mode is IGN expecting this to have? And WTF kind of graphics does it have to have for a game like this to score higher?

I read that review yesterday. NICHE is the word they used. I agree.

interest = 0 here.


I think the setup + eyetoy thing + ps3 makes it too expensive for its intended market (kids).

 

[Amir0x]

This is aimed at KIDS? I mean, maybe Pokemon Card game is, but Magic and this seem more aimed at teens+

 

[Kariido]

In my opinion thats a excellent score for this type of game. Nice job Sony. I know Eye of Judgment will be a day 1 purchase for me.

I consider teens to be kids

but that's because I'm a bitter old man

Yeah but the kids that grew up with Yugioh are pretty old now, they ain't kids no more. The EOJ package is only slightly more expensive than a regular game.

Exactly, plus the camera will be used for other games and other things...all and all it is a great price.
I mean how many people bought the eyetoy and the live vision for less incentive than this.

it's only $10 more than any other ps3 game. kids aren't the only target for ccg.

 

[Speevy]

I really enjoy MTG.

My only reluctance to get this game comes from the idea that it could be Magic for kids.

 

[Kaako]

Good score coming from IGN...
Dan Dan Fan Fan Hsu Shoe from 1UP also made a editor blog about it:

It's cool, though. If you can get over your own insecurities (or just try playing this game online in the privacy of your own home), you'll find a very unique videogame here. Yes, it's totally gimmicky, but it works. I can't get into it too much here because the next issue of EGM will have our three reviews. Keep a nonjudgmental eye out for this one.

Pretty positive impressions so far. Good news for people who enjoy card games.

 

[Joe Molotov]

So basically it's better than *insert game that got 7.9 here*?

 

[Suikoguy]

I have it preordered for 59.99 at amazon.. i'm not sure what i'm going to do...

i'm in the same situation and i just thought of something... if i was a real dick, i could buy it on launch day from a store. then i could return the unopened copy from amazon to the store to get my $69 back... any faults with this plan?

It sucks that cheaters will be able to print images of cards they dont own, and the camera reads them just fine. Which I know is unavoidable, but since I don't know many people with a PS3, online was the real draw for me. I would like to pick it up eventually, but not until I have some PS3-owning friends. I sure as hell wouldn't play against strangers.

I have been following that closely, and as of now there is no word on that.
But this is honestly the one thing that makes me hesitant, because people always have to ruin things by cheating.

I thought there was infrared sensitive ink to prevent this. Could have swore I heard that.

there are measures to prevent it, but i think it would be foolish to say its impossible.

also, keep in mind that your friends don't have to own a ps3 to play with you. if they are RL friends, all they need are cards and they can come to your place.

 

[Wollan]

People with copied cards won't be able to cheat in gameplay though. Sure they will probably have most cards so they have more options to build a deck from initially but the game knows what cards you have and chooses randomly for you which you have to use. Cards are further dividied up by class ( 1 to 3) and Mana cost.

Yeah that can't be any worse than my cheap friends who proxied half his deck.

Yeah you can just host an EOJ party (a "FUCKING BEAT TEH SHIT OUT OF ME AND STUFF ME IN A FUCKING LOCKER" NERD PARTY but a party nonetheless).

There's no word on that? It's right in the IGN review... sounds like they tried it, or they're just making stuff up again.

The only flaw in this system we could find was that the game will mistake a high-quality, color copy of a card for the real deal, meaning a sneaky gamer could print off pictures of cards they don't have and duel online with those. While this is regrettable, it doesn't necessarily damage the gameplay, since they still have to follow the rules when actually engaged in a match - they just don't own the cards they're using.

So what? If cheaters are using color copies of cards, the very cards that I would have to go out and buy many many many packs of to get the rare stuff, that sucks all sorts of ass. So cheaters have access to any and all cards they could ever want. Even the uber rare stuff. No, there is no positive way to spin that, but you gave it a nice try.

 

[OokieSpookie]

Argh that was my biggest dread when the game was first launched, and it looks like I will be mainly playing gaffers

Oh god, it really does say "but be weary of the lack of single-player options". I understand that there's no room on the payroll for editors, but surely a proofreader is an easy hire for a media site.

So do you actually, you just buy them off of ebay instead of copying. Plus I'm pretty sure photocopying some cards will be actually more expensive than just buying them. Plus you can always trade.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

An 8 is a great score.

 

[test_account]

Anyone remember the good old Battle Chess game?

It would be cool if they released a new Battle Chess game that took adavantage of the PS3 camera

 

[Mammothtank]

Good PS3 games +1

 

[Firewire]

Already pre-ordered with the eye of course.

 

[DemonSwordsman]

i love how they say that since the intro animation is so amazing, it should have had a single player campaign. WOW had an amazing intro too, it needs single player asap or it sucks.

 

[Duke Togo]

Gabe Newell will be so mad.

I would kill a few people if it meant getting a high def version of Battle Chess with online play for the PSN and Live
