Good on Live, Okay single player
1 of 5 people found this review helpful.
When I first heard they were making a magic game for Xbox, i thought wow, this is going to be fantastic. When I finally saved up my change and purchased this game, I was somewhat happy. I was somewhat annoyed by the lack of units you can use (in this game, you control units that are basically like the cards.) However, with only a handful of total spells,creatures,and enchantments, i was fairly upset. However, don't fret, for this game is still very good. For example, the format of the game is very well done in my opinion. While the single player is only decent, I found most of the levels to be very easy (while one or two are difficult.) The fun really gets going when Xbox live is on. Although a major complaint of mine is the lack of people playing this game on live, a session against someone is awesome. Xbox live is used very well to play the battles, with the option of playing multiple battles (a red/green *weenie* attack is very sucessful on live.) However, be warned. If you start to lag, the game can get to be difficult. Also, most people that do play on live are very, very good (my first match was against someone in the top 100)
However, if you do enjoy Magic a lot, or if you want to see what it runs like, I would recommend this game. Although the company could've done more to the game, It still is a solid performer.

Card game gone wild growthReview created: 06/15/08

This game for the xbox is set up fairly well. It plays similar to Jade Empire. I originally bought this for my 10yr son to learn a little more about magic. It would be great if they come out with a new version for the 360. If you enjoy magic the gathering, then you will enjoy this game for the xbox. I will say that it isn't like playing the card game. However it does allow a person to see the idea behind being a plains walker. I hope that if you read this you will enjoy the game as my son and I do.

Good used game! Only game of its kind!Review created: 06/10/08

I decided to buy this game because I can't let go of the regular XBox yet. I was always behind in the times when it came to video games and I probably don't see myself getting a Wii or 360 for myself until another couple of years pass. So until then I decided to get a bunch of old XBox games.
The Magic: The Gathering game was one that I had a few years ago but I returned it to the video game store due to its constant freezing. I used to play the Magic card game during high school and wondered how different it would be to play it on a video game console. Plus it's a little bit cheaper this time around.
Well it's much different, as the game really comes alive and it's not really turn-based. Of course there aren't as many spells as the card game itself but there is still a wide array of possibilities for decks. You have to be fast and strategic in order to get thru the game's quest mode, and it helps you along the way of how to play the game.
Apparently, you could play online against other people on XBox live, but I doubt anyone is still on the regular XBox servers. I will be going to XBox live just to download more spells to use. But believe me, this is the only game of its kind. If you are into collecting unique games, or if you are a fan of Magic: The Gathering, then I would very much recommend this game. If you are looking for a card game that's more turn-based than dynamic, then I would probably recommend one of the Yu-Gi-Oh! games or the Marvel Trading Card Game for the PSP.

Short But Sweet2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds is an awesome game all around. One draw back to the game is the short game play. Inless you have Xbox Live, you will not get the full effect of the game. Other than that, Awesome game!

Great Multiplayer Game2 of 4 people found this review helpful.
This game is a great unique multiplayer game, as well as single player. In the game you have to develop a strategy to wisely use your mana power, which slowly comes back, to cast spells and make creatures to defeat your opponent. One hint I have is that you should not just use your mana power right away, as the more you have the faster you regain mana.
