The Bakugan Battle Brawlers video game was released on October 20, 2009 for several platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. It was based on the original series as you can see from the opening video above: the tutorial fight has the opponent from the very first episode.
In the game, you start as a brand-new Bakugan brawler who works their way to the top of the Ultimate Battle Tournament by defeating various opponents and their creatures. It’s played in a similar manner to the real-life game, where you throw your cards onto the battlefield and then shoot them onto cards until two monsters are on the same card. Once that happens they fight to the death!
There are two kinds of matches: one-off battles at a park, and actual tournaments. Between these matches, you can upgrade your existing Bakugan, buy new ones, manage your deck, and purchase G-Power cards for the next fight.
Of course, what would a game like this without friends to play against? All the platforms (including the DS) offer multiplayer options. Review for the game are fairly average. If you enjoy the TV series the game (on all the platforms) is sure to please, but there are some liberties taken to make gameplay smoother, and more advanced players may be able to finish the challenges quite quickly.
