The popular and fun anime TV series "Bakugan Battle Brawlers"
has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of "Bakugan
warriors" -- such as "Juggernoids," "Fear rippers," and
"Robatallians" -- against each other for points. With this
Bakugan Starter Pack, kids 4 and above will enjoy the challenge
of earning points by rolling their Bakugan (or shooting them from
a launcher) onto magnetic cards where the plastic spheres burst
open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. Kids will
also love the way the Bakugan transform suddenly into warrior
mode, and fans of the show will have an especially good time with
the game.

The Good: Wide variety of Bakugan make them fun for kids to
trade and collect
The Bad: No instructions with some toys
In a Nutshell: Clever and exciting interactive game that kids
will enjoy even if they're not familiar with the TV show At a
Glance
Ages: 4 and up
NOTE: This Bakugan Starter Pack includes a random selection of
three Bakugan warriors. It also includes three metal cards and
instructions. It does not include the optional Bakugan Launcher (

Ready, Set, Play!
The mission of Bakugan game play is to battle against other
Bakugan to win the points awarded on the cards by getting your
Bakugan to land on card. Players will love pretending to be one
of the various characters in the show, such as the fiery
12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," and they gain a
deeper understanding of the cards and warriors as they play.
The Starter Pack includes instructions, making it an ideal way
for newbies to get started with this fun and exciting game. The
game itself is fairly straightforward, but if your child has
never played before, you might have to help him or her to
understand the rules -- after reading and understanding them
yourself. While some of the plastic Bakugan pieces are small and
could easily get lost, others, like the Bakugan Deka, are as big
as a softball.
The Starter Pack comes with three Bakugan and three cards --
perfect for kids who are new to the game and who want to try it
out. The illustrated instructions are easy to follow.
Exciting Magnetic Action
The Bakugan come in lots of colors and varieties that make them
fun to collect and trade. Most of them are pocket-sized and easy
for your child to carry around and bring over to their friend's
houses. Having a magnet that activates the warriors is a clever
idea that adds excitement to the game. The Bakugan Launcher (sold
separately) is a great accessory, with three shooting modes
("curve," "angle, and "distance"), but it doesn't come with any
instructions.
Room for the Imagination
We like that this that this game combines skill (ing your
Bakugan) with strategy (placement of the cards). We also enjoyed
the way the warriors pop open on the magnetic cards -- although
sometimes they do it even when they don't land on the cards.
Being unfamiliar with the TV show, we felt a little lost at first
in the world of Bakugan. But with the help of the colorful,
animated Bakugan Web site, we got the gist of what the game is
about and how to play. Our attempts to fire the launcher proved
somewhat difficult and instructions would have helped. But the
launcher isn't necessary. Kids can simply roll the Bakugan like
marbles for a fun and action-packed game with their friends.
What's in the Box
Three Bakugan, three metal cards, and instructions.
