This game has a unique playstyle, it is sort of a rts/fighting game, it is very fun to fight in duels, building your deck, unlocking new spells, etc.
It is inspired by card game but its not a card game, I played it countless hours on the original xbox, it also has local multiplayer.
Sadly cant be found anywhere today unless you happen to have the first xbox
When i brought this game years ago home, my small cousins were playing this game for hours, its a mix of strategy and arcade style of gaming. I don't know why this game didn't get continuation. Still its awesome, great graphics and very good playthrough!
Dude, this game was a strong obsession of mine. I loved the practically Baroque design of the UI, the weird almost real time autobattler feeling of it (almost reminiscent of Clash Royale really), but the sense of being able to customize your loadouts and building around a spells vs creatures strategy....
I think I can still hear "Suntail Hawk, Suntail Hawk" spam in my dreams, but nothing made those dreams real so much as rolling Multani and crowding the field only to overwhelm the field with "OVERRUN"
I'm doing this probably more for my brother than me but it was a fun and easy to follow experience using the MTG game as a weird kind of magic fighting game with summons. He told me once he basically played this game 3 days straight only stopping for essentials like the bathroom or dinner or sleep. He loved this game and in some ways I feel like this is really where card games should've been when they got converted to computer or console games. Something with more motion, vocals, and flash than what the card game could offer based on its medium. True it doesn't have all the newer cards and it is a bit of a relic, but they did an amazing job I must admit and it would feel like a travesty to let it disappear into the black hole that is time. Another game that should be preserved, played, and studied by game devs.

Vigilante 8The game's storyline is built around an alternate history, in which there was a worldwide oil crisis in the 1970s and the U.S. was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots and crime were rampant, and all available law enforcement were brought to the cities leaving the outlands vulnerable. A foreign multinational oil consortium, Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), was determined to monopolize the world oil trade. The U.S. was the last country that stood in their way and they were prepared to go to any length to bring the U.S. to its knees.
OMAR hired Sid Burn, a professional terrorist, to push the U.S. economy over the edge. Sid began to organize his troops in the remote areas of the southwest. Calling themselves the "Coyotes," they began to target oil refineries, commercial installations and other vital industry throughout the region. With the law enforcement in the cities, some desperate civilians began to take the law into their own hands. Led by a trucker named Convoy and referred to simply as the "Vigilantes," this oddball group soon became a major hindrance to Sid.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government, feeling more vulnerable than ever, was intensifying its research and development of a new military arsenal. The most advanced weaponry, rumored to be based on UFO technology, was located at Site-4, a secret facility at Papoose Lake. This information was not lost on Sid, and the Coyotes ambushed the facility. However the Vigilantes unexpectedly appeared to stop them and as a result, both parties found themselves in possession of the world's most advanced weaponry.
What followed were no ordinary skirmishes. Auto clashes ensued all over the land, from Colorado's Rockies to California's farmlands, only to culminate in a battle like no other. To this day the events which took place are only a matter of speculation.Action Fantasy Historical
