Pretty much anyone can pick it up as the game goes along, but it’s clear that this was made for the anime fans first and foremost and that everyone else that might play this game is little more than an afterthought.Įven though I don’t really care for the anime, I had a lot of fun with the story and characters of Bakugan Battle Brawlers and really liked how it felt like a solid tie-in between the video games and the board game. However, the game doesn’t even try to explain the characters, the history of the anime up to this point in the game or the various factions, rivalries and so on. If you’re a fan of the anime, you’ll no doubt love the attention to detail and characterization given to everyone in the game. Together with Leonidas, you and the rest of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers seek to discover why Leonidas arrived on Earth so much later than the other Bakugan, why he’s kind of a dick to everyone but you, and of course, a sinister plot that can affect both the human realm and the world of Vestroia, which is where Bakugan hail from. I chose Haos (Light), but the game’s default is Pyrus (Fire) so you can be like Dan. Your story is not just about your main character (who you get to name) but also involves Leonidas, a Bakugan Dragon who can be of any of the six Bakugan elements, which you have to pick at the beginning of the game, and it then stays that element for the whole story. That helped a lot at the beginning of the game during those early battles. I’m not a big fan of the anime, but I’ve seen most of the episodes and so I knew all the characters I was interacting with, and also what Bakugan element they tend to use and what their main specific Bakugan was. This is far better than I expected and I really loved seeing my character interact with everyone from Dan to Masquerade. No, your character has a full fledged personality, voice actor and story to tell. What’s really cool is that your character isn’t just some unnamed silent main character which can be found in a lot of RPG’s, especially ones from several generations ago. Unfortunately for the girls reading this, you can only make a boy character, but maybe the sequel will offer up something more. The options are diverse enough that I was able to make a pretty accurate Shad Gaspar from WWE’s Cryme Tyme tag team, but I eventually went with more of a punk for my protagonist. In Story Mode you’ll be making your very own protagonist. Story Mode is the heart of the game and where you’ll be unlocking characters, playable Bakugan, arenas and trophies. Sadly Bakugan doesn’t offer online play, which is a real blow to how good this game could have been, but it thankfully doesn’t make the game any less fun to play. ![]() This is the only way multiple human players can face off against each other. ![]() The first is Battle Arena, where you can play with up to three other friends (or computer controlled opponents) in one-on-one matches, tag battles and battle royals without it affecting your character in Story Mode. ![]() So how did Bakugan Battle Brawlers turn out? Was the end result a game that Baukgan fans and newcomers to the game/anime/what have you can be happy with, or has Bakugan gone the way of Digimon where it just couldn’t churn out a quality video game experience? As such, Activision went all out and got the voice acting cast from the cartoon and the American story editors and localizers involved to ensure this game fit in, not only with continuity of the anime, but so that Bakugan fans of all shape and sizes would be eager to exchange their (or their parent’s) money for digital gaming goodness. Of course, this is a licensed game, and how often do those turn out very well? Still, Activision had to know that making a bad Bakugan game would give this franchise its first black eye on the market, and god knows neither they nor NOW Productions (the developers) would want to be responsible for that. Although Sega actually invented the toy line (As you’ll even see in the opening credits of the game), it took Activision to turn the toy line/board game into a video game, showing once against that Sammy Sega might just be the stupidest video game publisher on the market, giving up a chance for guaranteed millions of dollars, if not more. Not since Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh had a fad from Japan taken the US by storm so quickly. Bakugan Battle Brawlers has finally hit the video game world after being one of the biggest toy and cartoon crazes of this decade. ![]()
