That said, at its core the game is quite good. I was constantly checking all my cards before making a move, so the game moved at a snail’s pace. Rather, in this DS game you have to tap a card, and then tap “Detail.' After you go back to the main screen and look at another card, you’ll forget what the first card did. Part of the problem is that, like any electronic translation of a physical game, you cannot just look down at your card to see what it does. Character cards have so many special abilities and numbers that it’s incredibly hard to keep track of who can do what and when.

And it seems like all 500+ cards have about 20 different attributes. The game includes over 500 individual cards, faithfully translated from their physical forms to electronic duplicates, so I can only assume that the entire FMA CCG is in FMA: The Trading Card Game. Predator systems of yore, and even those can’t compete in terms of pure complexity. The closest thing I can compare it to is the old Star Trek/Aliens. It makes the Pokemon CCG look like Go Fish. The Universal Fighting System (UFS) game has nothing on this.

The FMA CCG is the most complicated CCG I’ve ever played. The card game has fizzled since its source material tipped its hat goodbye, but since I've played others with a level of dedication some might call obsessive, I was eager to try this one on for size. Various expansions were released throughout the anime’s run, with another celebrating the movie's release. I was unaware that FMA had spawned its own CCG (perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised), but after doing some research, I learned that the physical card game was introduced to our shores around the same time the American anime hit Adult Swim. I love the Pokemon Trading Card Game on the Game Boy Color because it allows me to play the game without going broke at the comic shop.

I have previously been disappointed with the poor video game adaptations of this series-two on the PS2 and one on the DS-but I was intrigued when I learned of an FMA collectable card game (CCG) for the DS. I could tell you all the reasons why, but that’s not why you’re reading this review.

Full Metal Alchemist (FMA) is my favorite anime series.
