Product Information
In a world where magic has all but departed, a small contingent of fighters uses their mana to bring ancient cards to life. These cards hold the essence of great and deadly monsters. As always happens when a great power reigns, the forces of evil seek to control it. You can face off with the Biolith Lord, Scion, as he aims to take over the world. You can battle the cultists of Parmus as they harvest mana from the fallen and twist it to their own wicked aims. In a universe where darkness creeps ever closer, only you can return the light as you cast forth the eye of judgment."The Eye of Judgment" for the Sony PlayStation 3 has something for nearly every gamer. It combines the strategic elements of a board game with the thrill of a fighting style video game. Card based strategy meets high octane action as the player fights to be the best in a brutal quest. Using the PlayStation Eye accessory, "The Eye of Judgment" allows you to flash physical cards at the camera. You can immerse yourself more deeply in the action than ever before."The Eye of Judgment" features two expansion packs, bringing a competitive edge to the strategy game. With each, you get extra cards that offer new powers and new themes as you fight to become the greatest strategist ever. Each of these sets offers rare cards that give the strategist new and amazing options to defeat their friends and foes. These sets are fully playable games on their own. Although it isn't necessary to buy them both, it can be the best choice if you want to save the world from the horrors of war.Use real playing cards in conjunction with the high tech PlayStation Eye to set up battles between a variety of characters. This includes skeleton warriors, dragons, goblins, and banshees. Possessing elemental advantages as well as ideal terrains for each creature, strategy becomes more important than ever before. This challenge forces the card master to develop their style and adapt it to the many threats on this quest for peace.Each character has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. It is up to the individual player to choose characters who will provide the greatest advantage. Ranging from human to Merfolk to pirates and goblins, more than 10 different factions clash and contribute their forces to the battle.With one or two player modes available, players can challenge their friends or play by themselves against a computer generated opponent. The smooth, detailed graphics of this game can make it easy for you to follow the action. In addition, a simplified mode is available for younger players. This mode renders the complicated system of statistics and health gauges to a simple game of “rock paper scissors.”With over 30 trophies available for unlocking, there can be no end to the fun. This collectible card game was successful enough to get a PSP spinoff called "The Eye of Judgment: Legends." Available overseas as well as in the United States, these games can bring a new level of fun to the card format.
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.Read full review
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.

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
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
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.
