Dragon Battle Bakugan Fighting 2

Coupled with realtime battle gameplay, this game marks the first time of Bakugan

The video game does an excellent job of capturing the look and feel of these tiny creatures and the way the spring to life. While the battles animate the Bakugan, everything leading up to that moment feels like the real-world game. The marbles roll around an arena responding the shape of the playing field and the tilt of your controller. And if a ball lands on a card it springs open, just like the Bakugan you may have in your home. Cards are still used to modify points. The only real difference is how the winner is determined, with mini-games modifying the final point count for each creature.

In the story mode you travel around in Marucho’s airplane to various international locations like the UK and China.

While on board you can manage your collection of Bakuganes, edit your look and replay earlier battles.

Once you reach an area you can explore it, collecting core energy to upgrade you Bakugan’s attributes as well as finding power cards.

These areas look and play very poorly.

They’re bland (the typical cut-price effort that’s seen in so many games aimed at the younger market),

very basic (in a bad way) and terribly out-dated.

Jog through an area without being caught by guards or spotlights and you enter a battle area.

Before each battle you have to choose which Bakuganes you want to use.

Each enemy, as well as your Bakugan, has an elemental strength as well as a corresponding weakness.

You choose which of your Bakugans matches up best against your foe.

Once selected, the pre-fight screen also gives you the option to place holograms on the map to draw enemy fire away from your landmarks.

The combat mechanics also have some problems.

Targeting opponents feels very random, especially if there is one you urgently need to kill before it destroys your landmark.

Also, moving around the battle area is very hard when you are always locked onto a target.

So trying to pick up extra health or getting to a crumbling landmark can be very frustrating.

Combine this with ranged shots that never hit their targets,

sand and water that makes getting to the enemies difficult and shields that never seem to come up when you need them,

and you have not only a poor looking game but a poor playing game as well.

In Dragon Battle Bakugan Fight,

players will create a new hero and lead the brawlers on an epic adventure to save Earth's cities from Spectra and his Vexos minions.

Players will discover a whole new aspect of Bakugans by being given complete control over their creatures when taking on their opponents as Bakugan transform from small balls into towering creatures.

In the midst of intense battles, players will find themselves bravely exploring dangerous and dark areas to stop the evil spirits that are sucking the life force from the world.

Players will unlock all-new levels and characters as they unearth hidden clues and defeat opponents in the quest to save the world from ultimate destruction.

Dragon Battle Bakugan Fight also features linked multiplayer on PSP.

Coupled with real-time battle gameplay, this game marks the first time that players can duke it out with their Bakugans in head-to-head duels,

free for all, and strategic destruction battles.
