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.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
