    Not being a fan of this genre, I found myself engaged in reliving some fond memories of heroes and villains I nearly forgot about.

    Marvel TCG does a nice job of bringing the battle home for fans, but won't pull many new devotees to the fold.

    It's not a great game by any measure, but it does an excellent job of tapping into the collector's mentality of comic-book fans.

    It's hard to play, but if you like the tabletop version of the game you'll enjoy having this one on the go.

    Its true to thereal thign and deserves points for that, but it is a LONG and HARD learning curve for beginnners, and the interface is miles behind its competitors (yu-gi-oh for example). It was mistake to make it exclusively touch screen, to not include drag and drop card placements and the play area is too cramped thanks to the decision to make it played on its side. I wanted to love this, instead play it seems like work. Shame really. Perhaps a DC version (should it ever come) can rectify things.… Expand

    Great example of how-not-to-design a videogame. Instead of adapting a card game to take advantage of a console they tried to replicate the physical card play experience on a console. (Turn cards sideways on the screen to exhaust them? Really?!) Solitaire on Windows did a better job of adapting play mechanics. Stay away.… Expand
