Please, please, please... take this game at face value.
It's a board game with a collectible card/deck building element. It does both well, and is fundamentally balanced (see AI gripe below). From this perspective, the game is very good.
Boards and matches are rarely the same. Once out of story mode, pick up matches, both real locally and via XBL and AI based via the versus mode are available.
The combinations of cards and deck strategies are nigh limitless, while the addition of XBL online play and the struggle to collect all the cards adds replay value for a sub $50 game.
The caveats to the game are few. It is a board/card game and looks like a board/card game. No real win or loss here, if you come into the battle with reasonable expectations. Could it have looked better? Of course. Is it necessary to add the time (AND COST)? No. There is the presence of a slight rubber-band AI that is a little irritating. Also slightly irritating are the voice actors playing it out in full-blown cheap anime dub splendor. I ended up skipping cut scenes and cursing some opponents that I should have defeated.
If you are looking for bleeding edge graphics and blistering gameplay, this is not for you.
"Gamers" will love this. G4m3rz will hate this.
CCG fans will love it. April 6, 2008
This is a great game for lovers of CCGs and board games. The so many different strategies are possible that the game has nearly limitless replay possibilities.
The graphics, while nice, do not really come close to using the XBOX360's full graphic potential.
 Great game if you are looking for something different at a low price March 25, 2008

Culdcept Saga is exactly what it says it is, a blend between a card game and monopoly. If you are looking for story, or solid voicing talent, I suggest you look elsewhere. Where I really enjoy this game is in playing through, discovering new cards, and adding them to your deck. Building various decks and trying them out in different situations is also great fun. Beware though, that many of the matches will take well over an hour to complete, so bring some spare time with you. Despite its weaknesses I recommend this game, especially when the low price is taken into consideration.
Casual Fun March 11, 2008

It's a simple game to learn. The artwork on the cards is great. My wife and I have spent a couple hundred hours playing this game and still enjoy it. The game is a great choice for the 'casual' player. No shooting, no need for fast reflexes, just sit back and have fun with an animated board game. It's different and has many different level/maps. The only real down-side is that the 'action/battle' sequences are pretty mundane. But even then it's a board game; how much action would you expect?
Very addicting March 6, 2008

While the learning curve may be tough for some, Culdcept is an all in all great game. The depth and strategy involved surpasses most canonized strategy games on the market.
