Magicopoly!

This game is fantastic, yet I feel that word is an understatement.

Combining an American family board game, with a strategy card game has produced a hybrid that is so simple, yet challenging for all ages!

With having 4 direct different elements, a neutral element, and spells and items, this game plunges you with a deck of cards into a game where you must match strategies against challenging opponents, money management, and strategy tactics all at once. Winning presents opportunities to advance in the game, and aquire possibly rare cards, while losing doesn't cheat you out of anything, for you do gain a fair ammount of cards, and hopefully enough for you to swap some old cards out for better ones!

In general, I love it. I give it a 5/5 stars and would highly reccoment this game to anyone interested even remotely in Monopoly(r) or Magic the Gathering(r)!

I'll be the first to admit that this game is not for everyone. If you are a board game / magic the gathering addict than this is the game for you. The combination of strategy and luck makes this game more addictive than herion. I highly suggest finding a like minded set of friends, a large bottle of wine, and let the game take you into the wee hours of the night.

Hours of Fun!

Culdcept is a highly overlooked masterpiece. What it lacks in graphics it makes up for in gameplay. While at the beginning the gameplay is somewhat puzzling, getting the hang of it comes quickly. Soon you'll be dying to beat your next opponent and show off your cepting skills. (Characters in the game are called Cepters.) The game consists of many matches with opposing cepters. Each battle consists of you and your opponent(s) moving around a board and summoning monsters. Having your monsters protecting lands for you gives you more power. The goal is to reach a certain amount of power before your opponent can. This is done through using monsters, spells, battling, and powering up land. Soon, simply beating your opponents isn't enough. You'll want to collect as many cards(which contain the monsters, spells, and items) as you can. My favorite thing about this game is that you can take a break from it, play another game and just start playing again as if you never stopped. Another great thing is that you don't have to get to a certain point to save the game. During your turn in a match you can click "suspend" and it will save the game. Go eat dinner, return to PS2, and enjoy from right where you left off. Having played many RPGs in the recent past, I'm used to playing whole games at a time without taking a break to appreciate other games. You can come back to Culdcept at anytime and play it. Culdcept will be a refreshing change for all standard RPG players. A definite must buy!

Multiplayer Payoff

The box art is poor, the rules are intimidating, the graphics crawled our from your Super Nintendo, and yet the game is incredible. I found a copy, not on display on the shelves at my local EB Games, but behind the counter. If I wasn't searching for the game, I'd have never found it. I'm glad I did.

Think of landing on Boardwalk with hotels in Monopoly and having the chance to fight it out to see who really owns the property. Not only was it easy for us to learn without reading the rules, but the deck-building aspects make every multiplayer game that much more worthwhile. The winner earns more cards than second place, who earns more than third place, and so on. At the end of the game, even the loser feels better off for having played.

I've played Top Shop for the PS1 a ton, and I'd say this is heads and shoulders above it in terms of game depth. We've played around six games in three days, and I can't wait to play again!

The game that keeps on giving

I am not a Monopoly/Magic fanatic (I've never even played Magic), but this game is the most fun I've had since RE4 on the GameCube (or was it GTA: SA on PS2?). Luckily I rented this title through GameFly, and after having played through this once, it has made me to decide to purchase the title. This one flew under the radar in late Dec 2003 due to larger releases that were much more popular.

Do yourself a favor and give this one a try, you will not regret it. And no, it is not overly complicated, but does take about 5 minutes to get the basics down.

Wow! What a fantastic game on so many levels. I would agree with folks that say it is a bit daunting to learn when you first start, but if you are patient and take the time to read the manual and online help included in the game, you will get past the learning curve and have a great time with this one. All the fun of a boardgame like Monopoly combined with the addctive nature of collectible card games like MTG make this hard to resist. The graphics are nothing fancy, but are more than adequate - afterall the focus here is on gameplay, not glitz. If you are looking for a good multiplayer game, or are a fan of collectible card games you can't go wrong!

great game

OK I have a ton of PS2 games. For some strange reason this is the only one I won't get rid of. You can play this game a 1000 times and there will always be a different outcome. Yes it takes some time to get used to, yes it is more complicated than other games, however, you will enjoy the strategy involved and it will suck you in for hours if you allow it to. I'm 37 and I can't put this darn game down! If you like Monopoly, Pokemon, and Magic the Gathering then get this awesome game. It beats ANY PS2 game in my library. The replay is great! I still don't have all the cards you can get.

great game

I read a customer's list of RPG must haves and this came up. Naturally the price $33.90 at the time made me gag a bit. Now, I won't tell you where I got it cheaper (b/c if I EVER decide to sell this game, I want no less that price above) but I did and still love it. Someone called it 'MAGICOPOLY' and I think it does sum it up.

What I enjoy the most about this game is the 'beginner's luck' factor. No matter how great your card deck, you can still lose to almost anyone (IA or lucky, litle unnamed 12 year olds... sorry, personal grudge). Easy to master and the music's not terribly annoying. REPLAY value = HIGH. A MUST BUY!
