I have no idea how long this demo's been up. I was mildly interested in the PS2 game, but not enough to seek it out. It came out when I was poor, and well, not board gamey.
The demo seemed pretty sweet. My one complaint is that the battles take a bit too long what with the scene transitions and crap. I hope there are options to speed this up in multiplayer. As far as games taking too long, maybe there will be settings to allow you to play with lower magic goal limits.
My demo game took about an hour, and I had no idea what I was doing. I have no idea how complicated real games get either. Anyway, Prole and MAF, I know you guys have card game sweet tooths, this one is pretty good.
