Bakugan Bakugan Review By Spike Peterium on Apr 05, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

My son, has become addicted to bakugan. Bakugan is quickly becoming the latest hit in anime character battle games. It has been selling quickly in toy stores across the U.S. and Canada.. Much like Pokemon,which my son also likes, Bakugan features both a cartoon show and a competitive card game, with many accessories to accompany it. The show can be seen on Cartoon Network and features the cards and marble characters who are portrayed as beings from another dimension. The Action figure, is a ball. When i is touched with metal, it opens up, showing one of the bakugan characters. My son has 21 of these, and is still collecting them. He says even if they open up the same way, if there different colors, there a whole different character.Each card represents a Bakugan Battle Brawler character, as seen in the show. Each Bakugan piece consists of a marble that is rolled across the battle arena until it lands on a Bakugan card, thereby unlocking and transforming the playing piece into a particular fighting position. When two marbles from opposing players land on the same card, there is a simulated 'battle' that determines which player captures that particular card. There are numbers on the marble pieces as well as on the cards that indicate the scoring. A quick series of scoring calculations from the numbers on the cards and marbles determines who wins each battle, and ultimately, the game. My son is addicted to the bakugan, and it is expensive, I would not let your kids get addicted to it, it is aroud $5.00 each card, and bakugan. If you know any one who has bakugan, or is going to buy one, please comment.
