  • Summary: Marvel Trading Card Game features Marvel's complete roster of characters and lets players take their game online like never before with massive sanctioned tournaments, a virtual card shop and interoperability between the PSP system and PC versions of the game. Utilizing the popular Vs. System Trading Card Game from Upper Deck Entertainment, players can learn the basics of the game as a super hero or super villain in the game’s single player campaign mode.

  1. There's a ton of content here, and even more gameplay to be had. [May 2007, p.97]
  2. The game has a robust online element to it, and also plays well in solo mode.
  3. The one biggest failing of the Marvel Trading Card Game is one that no programming magic could fix — namely, that the game will be overlooked simply because the Vs System is less known than its competition, and tragically, that makes finding other people to play against that much more difficult.
  4. This game is narrowly focused towards collectible card game fans. Even hardcore followers will see that playing the video game version falls way short of live play against real people with real cards. As for the rest of the gamers, the game won't be.

    If you are into Marvel Comics or collectable card games then you may want to check this game out.If you are not familar with the game (which I was not ) there is a STEEP learning curve and that may turn off a lot of people, it took at least a couple hours before I just had the basic understanding of the game. The good news is once you do understand the concept fully, it is hours upon hours of fun. Not to mention I picked it up for $7.99 at Gamestop so it really won't put a dent in your wallet. Expand
