Jeez, I sound like an accountant, don't I? Bottom line: is the game fun? Heck yeah it is. The coolest thing about Magic Carpet is its interface: instead of simply walking along, as in most games, you actually fly around islands and have great freedom of movement.The game also requires a lot of strategy and, as the levels progress, becomes quite difficult, thereby ensuring Magic Carpet's play value. This would be all fine and dandy, were it not for the fact that a cadre of unlike-minded wizards are using every spell in their arsenal to shut you down. In the Saturn version of Magic Carpet, you take on the role of a maverick wizard intent on restoring the balance of magic in a series of enchanted worlds.

If you haven't been living under a rock for the last year, you'll recognize he name Magic Carpet from the incredible amount of well-deserved press that it and its sequel, Magic Carpet 2:The Netherworlds, have been receiving. So you say you're tired of all the run-of-the-mill 3D Doom clones currently clogging the shelves, and that you need something fresh to keep your attention span from imploding upon itself? If it's fast-paced action in a new mold you desire, then look no further than Magic Carpet.
