Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers product reviews

All-new and redesigned, Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 takes last year's massive hit game to even greater heights with better graphics, more options, and new challenges!

Face off against the AI, or gather your allies for the new multiplayer format: Archenemy, where you team up to take down a single opponent. And if one of your fellow Planeswalkers drops out, no problem - the AI will step in for uninterrupted action!

Featuring ten unique decks, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 also lets you customize those decks. As you progress in the game, you can enhance your deck by swapping in new, unlockable cards!

In the expansion you can "Ascend into Darkness" with the ability to play against Planeswalkers and players as the Archenemy! This expansion also features three new playable decks, four new unlockable cards for each of the original ten decks, seventeen new single player campaign levels, 4 new Archenemy challenges, six preview cards from Innistrad and you will be introduced to Ral Zarek, a new Planeswalker exclusive to Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012.

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is available for download for your Xbox 360, your Playstation 3 and your PC via Steam in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. On the Playstation 3, it is also available in Japanese.
