Luckily I rented this title from Gamefly and didn't buy it. My son is really into Bakugan so I know how the rules of the card/toy game go. This game has a big departure from the standard rules. Your Bakugan's G-Power really doesn't come into play much because victory is determined on how quickly and accurately you can use the stylus. The G-Power will give you an edge but you can't win a battle without doing the "mini-game" with the stylus (rubbing it back and forth quickly, tapping icons, or following an icon around a track). This eliminates some of the strategy from this game that is present in the card/toy game. Still... I found it mildly addictive but I can see that I'd get tired of it quickly. Kids who are fans of the TV show will probably love it because it has their favorite characters and their Bakugan. However, kids who play the card game will probably be dissatisfied because of the way the game departs from the rules they know.

This purchase was a huge success with my 9 year old son. Once he received this ds game, it was all he wanted to play. I definetly recommend this to anyone.

My son received this for Christmas. He is 7 years old and loves playing the regular Bakugan game, as well as watching the DVD's of the show. So this was definitely a must have. He opened it Christmas Eve night and played it for the rest of the evening. At 3:30 in the morning, he woke me up to ask me if I thought the character Naga was on the game and then went back to sleep. On Christmas morning, he immediately went to get his DS and continued to play. It took a little coaxing (more than it should anyway) to get him to open the rest of his Christmas presents!

My son has Mario games, Kirby, Sims, Sonic, dinosaur games, etc... But this is the most excited I have seen him play a game in a while. The game is a fairly easy concept. He was able to figure it out with very little coaching from me. It is slightly different from the regular game, as there is some stylus work involved in placing your bakugan on the field before it stands and also to win the battle. He was able to master that out without any help from me. He enjoys being able to battle the characters he has seen on the show (Dan, Shun, etc...). During the game, he can also be partners with them and learn by watching how they battle.

It is great too, because it is helping build his addition skills. He can add those G power points pretty darn well for a first grader. The game actually does the math, so if your child isn't great in math, the game does the work and your child will get along just fine, but my son is now adding the numbers before the game shows them, or he is calculating his G power with his ability cards to decide which one to use.

I personally get tired of "brawling" with my son with the cards and actual Bakugan characters. I can usually muster enough excitement to play the game once or twice a day, but after that I want to try other things with him. But he is stuck in Bakugan mode. This game is a life saver for me! He get's to brawl and I don't have to play repeatedly, over and over!

I recommend this game of you have a Bakugan fanatic like I do. If not, the game may seem a bit boring.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers for the Nintendo DS is interesting, the outcome of the battle is in the hands of the DS stylus. G-Power does play somewhat of a factor, though. The part that makes the Story Mode interesting is you get to be thrown in the rankings with the brawlers from Bakugan: Season 1. Great game!

We have this game for the Wii and the DS. My 7 year-old son loves it! He is addicted to it and we have to restrict his playing time or it's all he would do all day. He is a very big Bakugan fan and doesn't mind that the video game is not how you play the regular card game - if it were, I think it would be a very boring video game. Definitely worth it's price ($10-15) for Wii or DS. The benefit of having it on the DS is now he's not hogging the Wii from the rest of the family :)

I got this for my 9 year old son for Christmas. He says it is the best game he got for Christmas. He says it was a little bit hard at first but then it was really easy to catch on.

This game was all that I could play. Then when I got towards the end it got so hard! I recommend to NOT buy or have it. It may look fun on the outside cover but believe me once you start playing it it gets hard and not fun!

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY SON THAT IS FIVE YEARS OLD. I THINK THAT IT IS SIMPLE BUT HE LOVES IT SINCE HE IS a FAN OF BAKUGANS. FOR THE LOW PRICE IT HAVE BEEN A HUGE ENTERTAINMENT FOR MY KID.

My son likes this game, but he doesn't love it. I like to try new games, but this game just doesn't cut it at all.

i liked the game, but i broke 3 styluses on it. the battle is eventually decided by a mini-game like thing played against your opponent with things like "rub the screen" where you really have to try hard to keep up. my styluses shattered under the strain later in the game when the battles got tough.

you have been warned, now enjoy!
