    Bakugan is a surprisingly fun and addictive and that's coming from an older gamers perspective. Whilst the anime inspired story might come across weak and typical, the game is fresh and rewarding to play due to its tactical slant and despite the fact the AI likes to cheat, but also makes its fair share of mistakes.

    Overall existing Bakugan fans should have fun with this title. If you aren’t a Bakugan fan or card games aren’t your thing then this title probably won’t change your mind.

    A good title for all trading card game fans, but everyone else should look elsewhere for more interesting gameplay.

    Once non-fans master the rules of laying down the cards and rolling the Bakugan. they'll be dismayed to learn that the actual gameplay boils down to repetitive mini-games and a shallow marble-steering gimmick. [Holiday 2009, p.79]

    An interesting concept that doesn't translate well to a video game.

    An easy forgettable game, too repetitive to be considered even by Bakugan fans.

    Unless you are a fan of Bakugan Battle Brawlers then it probably best you avoid this title.
