About this deal

There is, however, one major problem. To choose the category of the card you must tap on the screen with the stylus but all five options are bunched up tightly at the bottom of the screen. This means it's very easy to tap the wrong category and end up losing that hand. When things are becoming tense it takes surgical precision and steadiness to tap on Monster Rating and not slip onto Intelligence, something that some, more giddy gamers may feel impossible and so will find incredibly frustrating. Further adding to the concept are bonus levels between rounds, which comprise simple memory tests. Complete them successfully and you go into the next round with a couple of cards' advantage.

Top Trumps: Doctor Who is a 2008 card game video game for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Windows and PlayStation 2 consoles. The game is based on the popular Top Trumps card game and features elements from the BBC television series Doctor Who. It was published by Eidos Interactive. It is the first Doctor Who video game since 1997's Destiny of the Doctors. The key card was the Silver Surfer, whose 10 for Special Powers was unbeatable. He was blessed with decent Physical Strength, too, so selecting Weapons was your only way of defeating him. Then you had the anomaly of Galactus's Strength being only 8, while the Hulk's was 9. This effectively meant that despite Galactus being capable of destroying the planet that Hulk was standing on, he wouldn't be able to beat the angry green guy in an arm wrestle.The game features two modes: adventure mode, where the player competes against AI controlled opponents, and a versus mode where two players go head-to-head. [2] Reception [ edit ] The choice is yours between those that reveal the name of your opponent's card to others that enable you to use a strong card repeatedly. Now this may sound like a contrived way of complicating a simple idea but it adds an extra layer of strategy and the timing of the use of these cards is essential for whittling down your opponent's hand. It also makes games against other DS owners using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection particularly bitter and petty, though. So it comes as a huge surprise to see a Top Trumps games on the DS. I'll admit my initial reaction was that it just seems such a waste of beautiful machine. Well, I soon changed my opinion once I got into Top Trumps: Doctor Who because it's a far more addictive game than it has any right to be.

So it's flawed, childish and eventually limited but can also offer moments that are utterly riveting. The way battles sway between each player as power-ups are used and seemingly unstoppable marches to victory are halted make it 'punch-the-air' exciting. This isn't the only intergalactic skullduggery that can be pulled off, though, as you're allowed to take three power-up cards into battle. Top Trumps: Doctor Who". Metacritic.

Mine was during a rainy caravan holiday in Beetham near the Lake District where the wonderful British summer had battered our static two-bed and our will to go out to play Swing-Ball into submission. All that was left to do was to play Marvel Superhero Top Trumps repeatedly until every stat and ability was ingrained into our tiny brains.
