    Where should I start with this game?
    ... Oh, I know, WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF BASING THE WHOLE GAMEPLAY ON GYROSCOPE MECHANICS?!
    That is to say, there are some mini-games that make good use of this mechanic and others that don't (which makes them halfway decent), but if we ignore this, we are only left with the main fights in which the gyroscope is not used very well. Let me explain    Where should I start with this game?

Let me explain it to you in a few words: In many fights it doesn't matter if you do something or not, because if you have a bit of luck you can win without doing anything or obviously lose without doing anything.
    The customisation of the Bey can change the movement style of the Bey a little bit, but it doesn't definitely change what I said before.
    Also, in the game you don't have much to do, I mean you do a couple of fights, play some mini-games, enter some tournaments and then... after that what do you do?
    In short, the game feels like playing with real-life spinning tops but with less interactivity.
    Without a doubt, this is one of the few video game purchases I've made in my life that I regret.

    Beyblade Evolution is a game that’s difficult to recommend to anyone, even die-hard Beyblade fans. After just a couple of rounds the game already bores as the monotonous, awkward bey-battles lack any atmosphere or real challenge at all. Perhaps very young fans may appreciate the representation of setting up a physical Beyblade set-up, but even then it will more than likely get old very fast.

    It does look quite impressive and, at moments, some of the features are actually quite cool. Unfortunately, most of the game is underwhelming.

    It's a bit dull. [Christmas 2013, p.89]
