5.0 out of 5 stars Let it rip with the awesome Beyblade game!, November 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyblade VForce: Super Tournament Battle (Video Game)

I recently rented this game, but it's on my christmas list! Fans of Beyblade will be familliar with the concept, using a gun-shaped launcher strategicaly launch your battling top to win one of two ways: 1, stop your opponent's top from spinning 2, knock your opponent's top into one of the penalty pits of out of the stadium. However, the video game adds sone intersting strategy elements. A new way to win is by breaking your opponent's blade apart (crash out) (which can be done in the real game but is extremely rare). You can also control your Beyblade, which could only be done with an RC launcher. And the bit beasts (from the anime) play the biggest part, which can be activated by colliding with your opponent's top enough times.
The game is based on the Beyblade tournaments, however there are other features. You can play free battles to sharpen your skills. You can buy parts (which actualy exist) at the shop to customize your top and improve its performance. You can play fun games at the 1P zone, Team Battle & 10 Battle, or hook up with friends at the 4P zone. And you can view interesting blades at the gallery.
The graphics aren't anything to write home about, and the music can get repetitive, but the fun and strategic gameplay will make you forget about its bad points, and provide hours of fun.
So I'm not saying this game is perfect, I'm just saying I played this game for hours on end and saw small room for improvement. Please buy, or at least rent this game, wheather you're a Beyblade fan or not!

This review is from: Beyblade VForce: Super Tournament Battle (Video Game)

When my friend came over and we played i thought"this game is a piece of crap!"But then we played it and played it,and i start to get get the hang of it,then guess what,by that night i bought the game and a stadium and 3 beyblades and now i'm nuts about beyblades!!!

This game has no real story which makes it kind of boring.....but watching the beyblades spin and hit and using the cool characters,not to mention unlocking some,is cool.

The graphics are absolutely auesome and so is the music,but the thing is,when you hit your opponent,there HP goes down about 10.But when they hit you,your HP goes down by like,20!!!!
belive me,i looked.

here's what i say:
1.if you're obsessed about beyblades(like me)then buy it.
2if you like beyblades and you just think it's OK then rent it.
3if you hate beyblades whatsoever,then why are you looking at this review!?

anyway,...this game...ROCKS!!!

LET IT RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

see ya,
kenny(remember me)
vote yes please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyblade V-Force Rocks, November 16, 2003

This review is from: Beyblade VForce: Super Tournament Battle (Video Game)

Beyblade V-Force: Super Tournament Battle is a journey into the world of childhood competition. You probably remember competing with your friends in various games like marbles or bottle cap slamming (POGs). Every generation must have their own, whether it's brand-new or a game from the past has been revived for a new audience.

Beyblade V-Force is the game of this generation (in the virtual world at least). It consists of something that you may not expect to see in a video game: spinning discs, a curved board, and special gun-shaped launchers that send the discs into battle. If this game doesn't ring a bell, don't worry. At first it didn't look like something I had seen before. Soon enough I was reminded of the similar, albeit primitive, versions that were available in the late 80s and early 90s. It was never my favorite kind of game, but was fun nonetheless.

Now we have a virtual version on the GameCube and a scaled-down version for the GBA. The GameCube version plays how you'd expect: shoot the disc into battle and control it with the thumbstick. Your goal is to "push" the other disc into one of the arena's gaps. Upon completing that task you win the battle, but not the game. That leads us to a very important note: there are a ton of battles in this game! They all boarder on being identical to each other, but if you like this sort of thing, you'll be glad to have so much to do before it ends.

To spice things up a bit, Beyblade V-Force includes some video game elements like battle power-ups. During battle you can unleash different super attacks that'll increase your chances of eliminating your opponent. Sometimes the attack will be so powerful that it knocks your opponent out of the arena. Other times it'll be powerful enough to weaken your adversary, causing the opposing disc (Beyblade) to either stop or break down. On the most unfortunate occasions you'll be faced with the unlucky result of a super attack block. Blocks prevent any damage from being received.

To launch these discs into battle, you start by watching a yellow meter increase towards the center of the screen. Press the A button whenever you wish, preferably as close to the red part of the meter as possible, and the discs will be thrust into battle. The yellow meter determines your Beyblade's power. If you fail to press the A button before the meter is full, you're doomed. The Beyblade fails to launch into a spin, automatically disqualifying it from that round. It's a harsh world out there, yes, but without harsh rules there would be no glory. And without this little bit of strategy added to the game, there wouldn't be much of a reason to strategize.

In a nutshell, Beyblade V-Force is a game about circular thumb movements. You'll circle the thumbstick and attempt to knock the opposing Beyblade out of the arena. It never gets any more involved than that. For that reason it's almost wrong to call this a video game. In actuality, it's a glorified, polygon-laden version of a game you can play in real life.

In the Mario Party sense, this game isn't too bad. It's more basic than a kid gamer will ever desire, but then again, so are most party games. Will kids like it if they don't even know what the heck a Beyblade is? Probably not. Part of the appeal of Mario Party is the fact that Mario, a well-known and very loved character, is the star. Parents would be wise to buy this for their children .
Reviewer's Scoring Details

Gameplay: 9Press the stick 'round and 'round...and 'round some more. There really isn't much more to do here. All things considered, this isn't a bad representation of the real-life counterparts. But if you have the real thing, you don't need this. And even if you don't have the real thing, this is far from a game that should be sought after. It's amusing, AND will be able to keep most kids busy for long periods of time.

Graphics:VERY VERY GOOD

Sound:8

Difficulty: Easy/Medium If your hands could burn calories, you'd lose a lot of weight spinning your thumb with this one.

Concept: 6.There isn't a whole lot to this game. It's just discs and spinning.

Multiplayer: Entertaining for Hours and Hours ESPECIALLY TAG TEAM WHEN YOU CAN HELP YOUR FRIEND IN FOR WAY BATTLES.

Overall: 9
Beyblade V-Force: Super Tournament Battle is very super when it is tag team battles and bit beast attack. P.S it is better then beyblade for playstaytion.
