Excellent and innovative gameplay
Magic the Gathering - Battlegrounds can be best described and a hybrid of action and RPG gameplay styles. One must employ card game strategy with video game reflexes to truly enjoy this game.
The game is similar in the card game in that it brings to life 60-70 (10 more if you use Xbox Live) creatures, spells and enchantments. However you are the player are on the battlefield with the other duelist and creatures. This allows you to block and attack and avoid damage to a limited degree. Good strategy is vital and an ability to build a deck that can attack, defend and counterattack is vital as well.
This combination once learned (which can take some time) is truly a unique gameplay experience. One's video game skills are truly tested with this game and in this reviewers opinion is well worth the investment. No game offers this blend and playing head to head again another person with similar skills is obscenely addictive and hour and hour of fun.
