Yu-Gi Oh! Eat Your Heart Out

For us who know the concept behind Yu-Gi Oh!, players place cards on a field and are then projected in 3d in front of them, it was a great way to get interest and hopefully be something card games, and video games would soon achieve. Well now it has, but it was not Yu-Gi Oh! who was the first to coin it. Sony released this game with the same concept behind Yu-Gi Oh! but a reality.

The game comes with:
The game
A Camera
Play Mat
A Starter Deck
1 Booster Pack

The entire package it actually a great deal. The game and Camera alone are a great deal together. The package lets you play right away no extras are needed. The problem with the game is, it IS a card game so you will want to and maybe have to buy more cards, and as we know thats the best and worst part of card games.

The game as a whole is fairly enjoyable. The single player is more about trying out cards, and practice. There is not a in game campaign or story just straight up matches. The real meat of the game is the online. Online has lots of players around the world with many cards and strategy. There is also a mini game where the strongest card wins, but that seems like a useless tacked on feature.

The game is played by placing the cards in front of the camera, then the camera reads the card and displays on screen. Your lighting and setting effect the camera response but the camera reads the cards very well. Set up for the camera is not very hard. Its simply placing a few pieces in simple slots, takes less than a minute. The actual camera can be used to other PS3 features being released now and to come. In the near future the camera will be sold seperatly for around $50.

If you are a card game fan that wants to play them in a way that lets you see the monsters and effects rather than imagining them, this is for you. If you are someone who does not enjoy card games this is not you you.

Eye of Judgment ! Great games difficult for the novice

I have always loved a great card game. This game is absolutely no exception.
On-screen graphics are incredible especially with the HDMI connection which is recommended. My nephew who has also taken a liking to the game is going on twelve years old. He is in to the card games (digimon, pokemon, yu-gi-oh) so I figured this would hold to be a great interest for him. While it does require a reading of the manual and a few notes for future play, This game is a great addition. This game required me (27 years old to teach my nephew how to play it); now I'm not saying its very hard to learn but it does require direct attention to learning and reading which is very difficult to some of the younger players like my nephew who do not like to read a manual. I have troubles seeing anyone under the age of twelve getting really interested in this game only for the reason of how much concentration it takes. Learning the game was worth it for both me and my nephew, watching the cards come alive on my pioneer elite HDTV Plasma was awesome, That was the single most reason why I started to learn the game in the first place. The game is entertaining and has some great suspense in it as well. but check it out for yourself, some of the local game stores have it setup to play. I would recommend gamestop if you are near one, they seem to get the employees who are hardcore gamers and are really a great resource for buying games for people.

but if you have any direct questions please feel free to buzz me.

it's good, not great. Could have been better.

This item was in perfect condition, and it's a pretty fun game. I am having a hard time locating more cards for the game. It was kind of challenging at first understanding how each card type and action worked, but the tutorial on the game helped a lot. Like most reviews I've read, this game really missed out. It's fun, and the card interaction on the game via the "eye" is an awesome concept. Problem is the developers really let this one slip. It could be such a much better game for the individual player. There really isn't a story mode, and it's way to easy to beat. Then the only other option off line is a "one card battle" type option and that's pointless, you have the best card and it's done. Battling people online is awesome, they really did a good job in that aspect, it's challenging and a lot of fun. Downside, very few people still play this game because of the lack of offline play.Read full review...

It's a nice to play

I'd like a game to interactive with them, so I choosed teh Eye of Judgment.

At firts it's spends a long time to download the update from PSN, almost 5 hours. After finishr I upgrade to set 2 & 3 (very expensive US$ 19,90).
The graphics are beautiful but undertanding the game (for me first time) demands a more time.
Cards are difficult to find in Brazil, teh game could be more options to play, but is pleasant.
So far so good the camera works fine, the limitation of 30 cards to choose to play it's very hard to undestand.
Nice to play with friends
Nice fun

It's great! ... When it works.

If you like collectible card games (like Magic: The Gathering), then you'll love the gameplay. The problem is that while it works flawlessly about 80% of the time, 10% of the time it's a little finicky about reading the cards correctly, and the last 10% of the time it's VERY finicky. In the first day of using it, I've played matches all the way through with no problems, and I've had matches where I had to mess with it for 5 to 10 minutes to get it to read what I wanted it to.

Still recommended for any card game lover, but just be prepared for some technical difficulties every once in a while.

Eye of Judgment for PS3

At a penny shy of $70, this game is a bargain. Only $10 more than a standard PS3 game, yet you not only get the game itself, you also get the EOJ Starter Deck, a booster pack of eight cards, plus the new Playstation Eye camera.

This camera looks at your card when you place it on the field mat (also included), then loads it into the game in impressive graphic mode. No, this is not up to Heavenly Sword standards graphically, but it does look pretty dang good. You can play against the computer, against a friend (who needs his or her own deck) or take it to a foe online. The EOJ takes Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh to new heights, but even if you aren't into this kind of card game, the price is worth it just for the PS Eye.

According to interviews with developers at Sony, the Eye has a HUGE untapped potential that will reinvent how you use your PS3. Obviously many people have seen the value in this bundle, as I have seen many EOJ sets for sale here without the camera. Definitely one of the better buys out there.

The Eye of Judgment (Playstation 3)

The game is good once you learn to play it, and get into it. I've never been into any of the trading card games, like magic, pokemon, etc, but i decided to give this a chance, since I wanted the ps3 Eye anyway. After going through the training, I was able to learn how to play instantly. The best part is that the computer keeps track of your HP and Mana, so all you really have to worry about is your strategy. Even if your not into card games, it's pretty cool to see a card come to life on the ps3. It's not for everybody, but it is for most once given the chance... Try it out.Read full review...

The Eye of Judgment (Playstation 3)

This was an interesting PS3 purchase, the eyecam comes with a game that I wasn't so sure had very high replay value. Boy was I wrong; this game has huge replay value. This game has endless combinations and editions. It has a minor learning curve and once you get used to the way the board and card characteristics are used, then the fun really begins. My son loves watching the cards "come to life" on the big screen. Thanks and I would recommend this game to anyone who is into the D&D and Card Type Games.Read full review...

Very fun game and great way to get an EyeToy

Great concept that while wasn't a major success, hopefully will get resurrected sometime in the future now that things like Skylanders have become popular and the physical/digital boarders get less and less.

The EyeToy can be a little finicky at times, and anything past Series 1 of cards require the paid DLCs, but still very much worth picking up. I found a ton of brand new cards at a dollar store, so search around, the cards packs can sometimes be found for cheap.

Eye of Judgment

The game is a unique twist on many of our beloved Trading Card Games (TCG's). It not only incorperates the "fighting" mechanic that many TCG's have, but also a bit of a checkers/chess feel in that you have to take over spaces on a board! The game has so many levels of depth to it that one can take a good deal of time to master, but in that respect it allows the player to really get into the look and feel of the game; and even become attached to certain characters you control. I highly recommend "The Eye of Judgment (PS3)", as it looks to be the next step in the evolution of gaming.Read full review...
