Purchase Bakugan Battle Brawlers only if you are a fan of the show. It is obvious that this game is made for younger gamers that don't mind repetition in their games. If you are looking for a little variety in a game that includes a deep storyline and interesting battles, you will need to look elsewhere.- GameZone

Not especially challenging, I beat up a Game Boy game a while back for using the tired "move block" puzzle as a form of play and here we are on a PC title that is doing the same.- GameZone

The entire game can be completed in under an hour with an organized team, although a Hard difficulty will test the skills of the most devoted fans. Beyond that, there is nothing to keep players' interests past an initial run.- GameZone

This is a decent game idea that fails on several fronts. The gameplay is reflexive but the window to hit the notes is small and the frame rate stutters compound the difficulty of nailing the action.- GameZone

Although Breach sounds like an incredibly exciting game on paper, its execution comes up short. The online-only content is very limited, and the action pales in comparison to pretty anything Infinity Ward has ever created. With so many superior alternatives, this kind of lackluster experience has no place in the modern market.- GameZone

It is sooooo arcadish, the same old tired motorcycle engine whine that has been used in every arcade bike game for the last 15 years was there in full crescendo. I almost found myself looking for a slot to stuff another quarter into.- GameZone

Mahjong Journey: Quest for Tikal is a generic title that can be entertaining, but without any sort of payoff. It's the kind of puzzle game that you don't mind playing on a friend's system to kill a few minutes. You play, you win, and you forget.- GameZone

Parts 1 and 2 of Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a flawed and repetitive action game that could have been a lot better considering the game has more than enough brutal brawling action. It also captures the feel of Alan Moore’s brilliant graphic novel but this alone can’t save the game from being too mediocre.- GameZone

Order of War: Challenge feels more like a foundation than a complete experience. It’s polished and has plenty of options for setting up games, but questionable troop-types and the lack of advanced, tactical features keep Challenge in the shadows of other RTS games.- GameZone

The Ball is a technically proficient game, but plays more like a storyboard than a final product, much like a film made only by crew members and no director. The concept is solid and appealing, while lacking the mysteries, challenges, and rewards that players crave.- GameZone

For the high price mark of $15 you're just not getting enough. The gameplay is good when played correctly, but that same lack of lenience in play style is also a deficiency. Most players will not be able to find enough value to make it worth their purchase.- GameZone

The game-play isn't any fun, mostly because of having to play the same area again and again, because Danny can't jump. He dies and the level has to be re-played. Not fun. Also, the levels have a sameness about them.- GameZone

Ultimately, Gods vs. Humans is passable, but it isn't a very easy title to recommend. The game is overly restrictive due to its metered gameplay; you need to formulate repetitive attack patterns ad nauseam; and the extra content is hardly worth checking out.- GameZone

Brave is obviously designed with children new to gaming in mind, but even they shouldn’t tolerate this glitchy mess. There’s a pretty good game here, hiding amongst the bugs, graphical issues, and poorly designed platforming sequences. It’s called Brave: Search for Spirit Dancer, and you can find it for a very reasonable price for the PS2.- GameZone

Walk It Out targets lazy people who enjoy playing video games but instead of spending the money to purchase this game, you can partake in the exact same thing by leaving the house and walking around the neighborhood for FREE.

As far as Tak games are concerned, Tak and the Guardians of Gross for the PS2 is the weakest entry in the series and a flawed platform game even younger gamers will find disappointing.

Looking at it broadly, Bakugan isn’t a bad storybook for kids, assuming that’s what you – or your child – is looking for in a $40 video-game, a storybook. But as an RPG, Bakugan is severely lacking, and as a mini-game collection, the game is very bland. You even can’t rate it as a card game because, despite the in-game hype and frequent card-speak among characters, Bakugan isn’t really a card game.- GameZone
