Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution (GameCube) Reader Review

Players will be charged with missions by the game's NPC's as usual, but rather than exploring the planet and searching for items, you'll be pitted in a single battle against a selection of familiar beasts. And as you would expect, players don't have direct control of their characters. Instead they command their movements and actions by going into battle with a chosen selection of attack, defence and assist playing cards. Selecting the right cards for the ensuing battles is paramount if players are to succeed. What's more, players are ranked on their performance in winning battles, and the better the grade awarded, the better cards they receive. It's a solid card-game strategy that encourages real tactics and the player's desire to complete a massive collection.
