Sony PlayStation Eye and Eye of Judgment Review by PC World 4/5

If gamers are into collectible card games, several hundred dollars for a PlayStation 3 and another additional cost for the game and Eye hardware make Eye of Judgment the most expensive card game in history. On the other hand, PC Gamer can't say they have ever enjoyed a collectible card game as much, if only for the inexplicable satisfaction derived from watching your TV screen respond in elaborate detail to basic physical gestures with fluid animations and flashy explosions and plenty of cheesy, booming fantasy voiceovers.

That was odd. Also it is 4 stars

[shmee]

EOJ is a good game no doubt

IGN and GT have given it 8 and 8.3

EOJ is also on topsellers list of most retailers in NA and EU

[ruibing]

I stopped reading their magazine long ago when I realized its for people with very little PC experiences. Their tweak tips and troubleshooting techniques are very mundane and ineffective. I don't trust most of their opinions when it comes to computers even since they don't even know how to benchmark or price them correctly.

"If gamers are into collectible card games, several hundred dollars for a PlayStation 3 and another additional cost for the game and Eye hardware make Eye of Judgment the most expensive card game in history."

well, I suppose his logic would work if you buy one game for a gaming system and then never buy another game for that system...

@ LAWNMAN

Quit leeching off of my post so you can flame on.

[lawman1108]

This is a joke right? the only people who will play this are the Japs.

[colony]

sorry xbot.
since this is selling great in the US... it seems like your wrong...
*laugh in your face*

[THUNDERMARE]

Do you know that people who made this game are from Wizard of the Coast, and yes, they are American and they make this game for American.

[SabreMan]

This is a joke right?

I know you meant to put Japanese as i know your not that ignorant,
it's a game thats selling very well, so no it isn't a joke

edit

wtf you talking about you ignoramus are you naturally this dumb i didn't mention a wizard ??

let me guess what a game needs for you to class it as a video game

guns and explosions - am i right ?? i thought so !!

you use an offensive word to describe the japanese you sure are a real big man, yes you are ignorant why not go back under the bridge and stick your head back in the sand you moron

[lawman1108]

And I dont know ANY wizard of anything my nerd friend. This is far from what I would call a "video game" So I laugh in YOUR face $ony f-ag I know your hard up for games but come on..........

[lawman1108]

Yes I ment Japanese no I met to type the word Jap so I guess I am that ignorant.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Lawman...I award you with the "Idiot of the Day" award!!!

Congratulations...

(and there was much rejoicing...)

[PimpHandHappy]

if this game was 10's across the board i wouldnt play it

that being said

~~sip of coffee~~

i really like the idea. Has anything like that been done b4? I never even thought of a table game that works on your TV while u play around the table in your house was even posiable. Thats mainly because i never thought of it.

~~Boston cream yummy~~

Just think if Sony brings in classic board games in the future. If your a older gamer u might have heard of Shoots and Ladders and i know u heard of Monopoly.

~~lights cig~~

Bloodmask why is it you find the only review that puts a negative tone on it. WHY BLOODMASK WHY

[tientch1]

if they can bring game like Monopoly, scrabble and so on out.
That will be fantastic

[Premonition]

Good score, personally im a card gamer, well back in the day i was, with a big game called Magic The Gathering, if your a card gamer then this game will probably be for you, and CCG is a big thing all over the world, but only card gamers would know about this such as myself, so I wouldnt be surprised if this game sold atleast over 100k first month or more depending on what channels sony is showing the commercials on, hopefully this game will push for parents to get them the 399 system and this game, that would be a great christmas for cousins and friends on Christmas day to battle out each other, and who knows maybe stores might carry PS3's just to do tournaments with this game, it could be pretty big.

[jaja1434]

I still rather play Magic in person though. :(

[Maddens Raiders]

to buy this game.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Come on man...we're trying to create a sort of..."higher class" situation around here.

Look at PimpHandHappy's comment. Look at a few of my recent comments. We'd like to show our more sophisticated sides. Please join us, won't you?

*holds hand out and looks away*

[crazy25000]

ive been trying to buy it down here but they sold out and dont know when theyll get more

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

They sold out of EOJ and the Eye with minutes here dude...

I was one of the people in line for the Eye...and I got one of them...YAY!

This is the freaking MIDWEST!!! If it'll sell here, I'm pretty sure it'll sell in other places.

and I quote: "Cell processor...what a joke." <The manager of my local Gamestop said that LAST NIGHT! Does that not show ignorance? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard a Gamestop employee say. If you haven't played Heavenly Sword, then yes...it is a joke. You have to see it to believe it.

[paracardium]

Game is kickass for card players.Let the good times roll.

[Badhabit007]

I'm not a card game player. I'm not a D&D player. I'm not in role playing game neither. Yet, I bought this game for 2 reasons:

1- I wanted the EYE camera.
2- I was curious about the game.

So, for 60$, I bought it. To date, I'm impressed. On the first night, I plugged everything and started to play. I did not know what I was doing, I was tired, and I thought that I might have made a mistake and I just could have bought the camera for 40$ instead of the bundle.

Next day, I was relaxed and watched the tutorial. Oh boy, I should have done that on the first night. Great game, it's very fun and I think I am addicted. It's pretty pleasant to do the setup and use your consol diferently. I'm not good yet, but I have a lot of fun, it's a very good and cool game.

To me, it's an 80%~85% game.

Have fun with it!

Ciao!

I hope the signs im seeing is good, this game should sell well, all bestbuys within my zip code are all sold out and the site is backordered including EB/GS and 5 out of about 8-10 stores are sold out while the rest have less than 3 instock, so saturday and sunday should see those things gone.

[PimpHandHappy]

i like your idea thou

Just dont think you can hug me because my belly to belly suplex is killer

[eagle21]

I have read so many good reviews and it is sold out everywhere. I am getting the eye, so why not the game pack?

[lodossrage]

First off, I don't even LIKE card games. That was until I played Eye of Judgment.

Don't let the xbots try to sway you. This game is freakin SWEET. Although I already lost 3 matches and won ONLY 1, this game is that certain coolness factor that keeps you playing.

Dare I say, I might get addicted to this game.

Not to mention the playstation eye and that gamemat (which is HIGH quality) comes with it.

The game is $70. But it's $70 WELL spent

[Premonition]

Oh oh its going to start soon, I remember when i first started card games like MTG-Magic The Gathering, It got pretty bad, not bad as bad but bad in a good way, it was so fun, I use to make like 5 decks a day and test them out by myself and got better and better then it went on in school. Maybe this game might do the same again lol, even though MTG was big with me like 3-4 years ago.

[Badhabit007]

LOL Premonition. Yesterday I was at the ToysRus near my place to check if I was able to get some extra booster pack and extra starter pack so I was able to play with my kids....and to have some extra card for my own collection. I'm a nutcase...

[blahatthat]

I just started playing today and frankly it's unique. It seems to be a great concept and enjoying it everytime I get even more play time.

[vaan]

I can tell you this. My local EB Games aka 'can I please spew forth pro 360 form letter BS while you shop for PS3 software,..games' has absolutely none left and I can't find it anywhere. So I ordered it online.
Which means a week or so wait I guess. Anyway, if that is any indication, it is selling.

[PlayStation360]

when eye of judgment was first announced, i was intrigued. Then later on, I had mixed feelings. And then finally I was like "ehh, I may get it sometime in the future". A few days ago my homie bought it and he tried out the Eyetoy chat with me. Chating was dope, so I decided to get the Eyetoy w/EoJ. When my friend taught me the rules and I got used to the whole card/visual thing, I was hooked. Like some of my bros above said, this game does grow on you.

The game's a little difficult though (I played against the comp 3 times in a row, lost 3 times in a row, ON BEGINNER MODE.) If you want the EyeToy, I highly recommend you get the EoJ bundle. $30 more (from price of eyetoy alone) for a game and extras. Not a bad deal, and the game is pretty addictive.

My kids, well one of them - the one who loves the card games, was with me in a store today. The store owner played a video of EOJ when I asked him when it will be available. My kid's jaw dropped - and kept on watching this game mesmerized. He loves Warhawk, R:FOM, R&C, Ninja G Sigma etc and the card games. But this one really rocked his little world. And this was just after we played around with the Wii. Might actually pick up a Wii at some point - it is really cool.

I expect we will see some great things with this Eye attachment. Even some games that will rival the Wii controller if what I understand from the tech demo's. We could most probably see some very cheap controller items like a golf club or tennis racket being used for controllers with the Eye. That would rock! And it seems possible.

But back to EOJ. I expect we will see all kinds of expansion packs, card trading and all kinds of neat card games coming out. Poker, Blackjack, Canasta, Hearts, Bridge etc. Where the PS3 acts as umpire to interpret the rules as you play. Hell - this could be a whole interesting new world for card games.

This is what we need in gaming. Exploring new possibilities, fresh ideas mixed with traditional. Great going. I will get this one when it is released.
