Ok so I was pretty down on this game when I read about it. First I have never been in CCG games(collectible card games I think?). Although I applauded SONY for the idea, I never planned to get the game myself. However because it came with the PSEYE (EyeToy camera v2) and I saw it on a pre-order sale on Amazon for 59.99, I snatched it up. It also comes with a starter pack (30 cards) and a random booster pack (8 cards) both which are worth $15 and $4 respectively. The PS EYE cost $39.99 which in total comes out close to 50 dollars in value without the game! Then you have the camera stand and the mat and you can see why this game is a steal at $60 and extremely well priced at 69.99. Of course it can add up to much more than a hundred if you're a serious card collector

Anyway so on to my story, I am still learning the game but I can honestly say I am hooked. My brain cannot stop thinking of strategies, which reminds of of the days I used to be addicted to Age Of EmpireII. A Few matches in and the whole day is gone! Its scary actually and I am afraid this game will take over and leave me no time for SingStar and Uncharted during the holidays :(

Well, I have to say this is a great little package to an addictive card game which is best played with friends. Even if you never tried these types of card games before you should give this one a try. The battle system is deep and adds randomness to card choice which will be immediately clear when you start playing. In other words don't worry too much about not having the best cards. Playing online, I have seen some crazy cards out there in the wild which may clean your wallet due to jealousy since you will be buying up crazy amounts of booster packs!

If you want to play with me my PSN Id is PistolGrip. Add me! Though I am taking two days rest from it.

As always,
Pros
+ Addicting gameplay
+ Great Value
+ Comes with the PSEye camera. You can also download a cool program called Eye Create which allows you to make some cool movie effects with the camera from your PS3
+ Great fun playing with friends and even strangers online.

Cons
- Addicting gameplay, may take over free time
- I had some issues with the camera reading my cards. I did a few tricks with light and placement which greatly improve this though.
- Hard to find other geek friends that would play in person with you. :*(

Unexpected love

I am no fan of Collectible Card Games with little time or patience for them. I however, desperately wanted a Playstation Eye and decided to get this pack to get it early.

I tried the game and I am absolutely hooked. I have been playing against the computer for a while and have finally started winning a bit. Have already unlocked two new packs for the computer.

I am going to dock a point overall because of the need to buy new cards. I haven't needed them as yet but I am guessing that in the future it will be impossible to win with the standard deck.

Overall, for those who haven't tried a CCG .. this is a cheap way to start and you get the Eye which is a must have for the PS3.

Lots of Fun!

I just received my Eye of Judgement. I have to say that it is amazing. I couldnt believe the cards are recognized immediately. If you enjoy card games like Magic I think you will love this adaptation. The idea of using and obtaining fields adds more of an element of strategy to the game. Now you not only have to think about creatures but also how and where you place them. When you play a spell the animation is great and the sound effects are so much fun. You actually feel like a sorcerer playing a spell. I know that sounds silly but believe me its an experience!

Tried it

I got this game yesterday and tried setting up the interface. The camera and its supports are easy enough as is the setting up of the 9 rectangle mat. However, for a long time, I could not move the scroll beyond the beginning screen that leads to the setting up of the hardware on the system. I discovered that my sixaxxis controller was being over ridden by the Logitech Sports wheel set up- Once I disconected the wheel from its USB connection, everything proceeded smoothly and I had the PS3 playing against itself. Pretty boring for me but I'm excited about the technology. I downloaded and installed the EyeCreate software from the playstation site from within the Sony Playstation, and am playing with this application which shows up under "games" in the Sony menu.

A Must Have PS3 Game - Great for Families

This is, by far, the most enjoyable PS3 game I have played. The concept is original (at least to the game consoles), the graphics are wonderful and most importantly, the thing is a blast to play. It's definitely going to be a "must have" for card game collectors (Magic, Star Wars, VS, etc.) but I think the game will ultimately do just as well with other gamers. Everyone who watched my friend and me play eventually asked, "Can I play the winner?"

The keys to this game is the depth of the game itself (learned quickly but hard to master) and the ability to play against the computer, against a friend in the room or over the Internet.

What rocks most about this game is that it will evolve as new cards are created and/or new rules are added through software updates. Now THAT is a game with replay value. The appeal of most games lasts for a few months (you either beat it or see everything it has to offer), but EYE is a game I believe most owners will be playing for YEARS to come.

I HIGHLY recommend this game to families. I love it, and my young son and teen daughter are now hooked too. How many PS3 games offer that kind of broad appeal?

Revolutionary

This is the first augmented reality video game that I have ever played. As far as I know, it's the only good one out there. The familiar interface of a CCG makes it instantly accessible. The card game itself is easy enough to pick up, but very intricate and challenging to master. The game makes very effective use of elemental disposition of summoned monsters with relation to the environment of the game board. The game is primarily about strategic summons, with consideration given to the element of the summon - wood, earth, water, fire, or "biolith" (neutral) - to the locations the summon can cast in relation to its position and orientation, and to the unique effects of the summon on the board, other creatures, on the summons itself, or on your mana supply. No two cards are alike; I have not seen a single "throw-away" card yet, each one has a potential use depending on the strategy of a given deck. While the main strategy of the game is about summons, there is a healthy supply of spell cards that can seriously effect the game and, more importantly, casting most of them does not end your turn. Many spell cards are cheap or even come with a cost of 0, making them extremely viable for use in a deck.

There is no fluff in EOJ. The game is very balanced and success depends as much, or more, on one's understand of the mechanics and strategies of the board and the cards than it does on one's ability to construct a powerful and effective deck.

The fact that there are so many stats and board characteristics to keep track of make the fusion of card game and video game system a boon. Decks are set at 30 cards so you are forced to choose your cards wisely. After playing through a couple of games that used up an entire deck, I feel like the deck limit should be 40. In the eventuality that players do run out of cards, the player who runs out first is the loser, so if part of your strategy is to draw extra cards, you better be sure those cards are going to help you win in the long run.

The 110 cards currently in the set are all unique from each other. The cards themselves are beautiful and the graphics and animation animated are stunning. The only things that bug me about the game are the soundtrack (i usually turn soundtracks off anyways) and the repetitive animation of spell cards - they always start with a giant wizard head emerging from the board and intoning the card's name; this was cool at first, but it's not as dynamic and fun as all the visuals for monster attacks.

Playing this game online or off-line with a friend, or even single player against a computer opponent, I feel like I'm living in the future. EOJ is far and away the most amazing and effective use of augmented reality yet. This game is a must have for CCG fans, and provides a great forum for gamers new to the genre to get their feet wet or even dive right in - again, it's easy to learn and very accessible. Also, it's a great way to show off what your ps3 can do.

One final note - the new Playstation Eye is an incredible piece of hardware, boasting 4 directional, sound reducing, voice tracking microphones *they track the direction of your voice* two zoom levels, and 120 fps hi resolution recording. PSN offers, for free, "Eye Create", simple but fast and powerful video editing software for use with the Playstation Eye. It has dozens of special effects, has a time taps and stop motion mode, makes editing clips together really easy, and lets you create and underlay your own audio tracks. This little bonus along with the many hours of gameplay I've already enjoyed has made buying the Eye of Judgment feel like the best entertainment investment I've made in a long time.

Fun little game

This game is great and the fact that the game comes with the New PlayStation Eye makes it even better. The PSEye brings the cards alive on the screen. Each card is different and attacks in a multitude of different ways. The game comes with a 30 card starter deck, a booster pack. The cards are pretty cool look overall the game is quite impressive. Then fact that you get the PSEye which will let you download and use the EyeCreate software (free) off the PlayStation Store is also an awesome bonus. You can create some random wacky videos with it.

The game is awesome!

Absolutley FANTASTIC

I always thought those pokemon/magic card games were stupid. Ever since my girlfriend got this for me, I am AMAZED how fun this game actually is. The online play/ranking is also a big +. I actually feel dorky for wanting to buy more packs of cards to get better cards hahaha. But overall Great Game, great gift, suited for anyone :)

Surprising fun game!

I ordered this mostly to just get the Playstation eye but the Eye Of Judgement game is awesome! Im not even into these card games but my friend and I have had a blast playing this. There is a lot of strategy involved in the game and it keeps our interest for about 2 hours every time we play. Im ordering some add on decks from Amazon as well to see some new spells\creatures.
