    Bakugan: Defenders of the Core features some decent fights but the overall experience makes it a real bore to play. The graphics are plain, the sound isn't properly mixed and the story is being laid out in front of you in a very confusing way. This makes this game a fans/children only. It can still be pretty entertaining to play versus a friend though.

    Really disappointing that Activision continues to dish out such a shallow and crude game.

The voice actor's talk like they're forced to speak the linesUninspired, loading screen game with terrible, disgusting voice acting. The voice actor's talk like they're forced to speak the lines director's gave them. I don't even know how one can make the voices of character's this obnoxious. And the gameplay is really shallow and the maps are filled with useless power-ups, Full Review »
