    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.

    I so wanted to like this game, I am a huge fan of the card game but controls are horrible and screen format limits the game in so many ways. Konami should have stuck to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s format.

    BY FAR one of the worst games ever created. You want a game that you will lose to the CPU EVERY TIME? Then buy this piece of sh*t. It no has no quality and the presentation and tutorials are a complete failure. Terrible game and one of the worst in video game history.

    Marvel Trading Card Game's voluminous stack of cryptic rules, absolutely brutal learning curve, and terrible in-game tutorial make it virtually impossible to play. [Mar. 2007, p.87]

    Marvel TCG isn't too bad as far as digital trading-card games go, but it's unlikely to convert anyone not already invested in TCGs.

    We absolutely found ourselves drawn to Marvel Trading Card. It's just that the intense complexity and cramped screen real-estate kept it from being the accessible, instantly lovable smash-bang, super hero-em-up that the comics themselves are.
