The month of October marked the release of possibly the biggest fad video game of the year: Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Featuring game dynamics just like the card/marble game, and tons of new Bakugan monsters and battle strategies, this is going to be an awesome game for fans of the Bakugan toys and the cartoon to eat up. It has been released on the Wii, DS, Sony PS3, PS2, and the XBox 360.
The game itself is lots of fun, even for the uninitiated, especially if you are playing it on the Nintendo Wii. You pick up your Bakugan balls and throw them onto the field. Using a series of special moves and techniques, you are able to launch your Bakugan into play and pick up huge bonuses while trying to land on your opponents gate card. While the Bakugan ball is rolling, your opponent can shoot at you trying to knock your trajectory off course. There is also a tug of war game, and a shooting gallery style game as well that makes full use of the Wii Remote features.
Battling is simple and easy, though it can get quite indepth. Once you deploy your Bakugan, you use various ability cards to boost its strength, or G Power, and in the end, whichever Bakugan has the most usually wins. The game is simple, yet quite advanced when you start using combos and real strategy. It’s even more fun in the 2v2 tag team battle mode where 4 of your friends can play together.
As you advance through the game, you climb in the ranks of Battle Brawlers. You also collect more and more Bakugans, and get more powerful ability and gate cards. Players get to meet their favorite Bakugan characters and even battle characters and Bakugan from the cartoon. The game centers around your avatar that you build and your special Bakugan that comes to you through the doom dimension named Leonidas. He is mysterious, and nobody knows for sure what his real purpose is on Earth. As you progress through the game, you get tips from the Bakugan Battle Brawlers, and you slowly unlock the story which leads to an epic battle to save Earth and New Vestroia!
The battles are really a lot of fun. Each battle field has different advantages and disadvantages, and you get a home field advantage for your Bakugan attribute types. There are six different attributes, Pyrus or fire, Aquos or water, Subterra or earth, Ventus or plants, Darkus or darkness, and Haos or light. Each attribute also has a special shot that lets you control how you throw your Bakugan in special ways. There is a lot of depth to this game, both from a gameplay perspective and a plot perspective.
Overall, this game doesn’t take very long to beat and unlock all the secrets, but there is a decent amount of replay value in the multiplayer levels, and it will be a huge hit for any kids who are already fans of the toys. It also comes with some exclusive Bakugan balls like the limited edition white Naga that has some pretty cool special abilities. For both the initiated and the uninitiated, the new Bakugan Battle Brawlers video game is fun and exciting.
