Collectible battle animals-robots-demons-creatures-cards will never cease to stop being produced it seems, and each of them is almost always carried over to multiple media types. Pokemon is obviously the biggest example of this, but Bakugan has been picking up steam as of late...In the actual real-world game, players place large, magnetic cards on a playing surface and then attempt to roll plastic balls onto them. These balls are the Bakugan and magnetically pop open into their beast form when rolled on top of a card. Then by way of adding up various G-Power cards and through other rules, a winner in each battle is determined and that player wins a card. Once a certain number of cards are won, that player is the overall winner of the game. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic idea...The videogame take on the franchise, Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, puts players in control of a customized character that they attempt to take to the Ultimate Battle Tournament. Between matches (which include both tournaments and one-off battles at a park, akin to an arcade mode), you can buy new Bakugan, upgrade them, purchase G-Power cards and manage your decks for your next fight...Now, while the way the mechanics play out aren't done in the way that I would have liked to have seen them, fans of the Bakugan franchise who want to take everything that comes with it on the road may find something to like. All of the elements are here - there's collecting, vicious monsters of varying types and lots of battles to be had. Support for up to four players is here as well, though it's a simple setup and isn't online or anything of that sort. I don't think it'll completely take fans away from the card game, but it might be entertaining for a weekend or two...Bakugan: Battle Brawlers seems to do things mostly right on paper, though the actual gameplay offers too much build-up to each fight and not enough in the actual battle department. It may serve as a distraction for Bakugan fans for a bit, but it won't replace the real-world game anytime soon. - Chris Roper
