Neverland incorporates enough gameplay variety to recommend it. Those that may not be interested in the card game genre are urged to get on deck.

RPG Fan
Since the in-game graphics are weak, and the music is bland, the only chance this game has to win fans is its gameplay.

It definitely worked for me, so if you're into virtual card battles or traditional CCG/TCG models, then give this one a try.

Visually the game won’t win any awards simply because of the battle graphics. Yet I found Neverland Card Battles to be an engaging game that sucked me in with its intriguing gameplay.

Worth Playing
It's hard to recommend Neverland Card Battles when it mostly feels like work, but it's difficult to not love it a little after seeing it through to the end, despite its prickly exterior.

This is a solid experience that 90% of people won't appreciate, but 10% of people will love. It lacks the charm and staying power of other titles in the genre, but it will definitely keep Japanese strat-fans satiated for a good deal of time.

The game’s difficulty, weak graphics, annoying voice-work and sound does very little to attract either Trading Card or Strategy fans. If you’re looking for a card-based game for your PSP, I would suggest going back and playing the Metal Gear Acid games. Your other option is to go to your local comic or card shop, buying a starter deck of Magic or World of Warcraft Cards and making some new friends; you’ll have a lot more fun than playing this.

Often ends up as a clunky, constantly-loading, low-detail, straight up boring experience.

Overall, Neverland is a little too dated at is in the tough market of strategy games on the PSP which hurt its overall appeal.

Neverland Card Battles gets off to a poor start and goes downhill from there.

Neverland Card Battles has more problems than solutions and entertainment value.

If this is where the series is going, Neverland Card Battles is going to be a tough sell in the future. I'd really like to find something nice to say about it, but the game is so boring, cliche (there's that word again) and badly designed I'd be lying through my teeth.
