PSX Extreme writes: "To be brutally honest, I have never understood the fascination that comes with "battling" with playing cards, nor do I have any intention of determining the root cause of said fascination. Therefore, I went into my review of Bakugan Battle Brawlers fully expecting to remain indifferent and utterly confused as to why some youngsters regard this as the be-all and end-all of entertainment. But while I certainly won't be running out and buying a pack of such cards any time soon, I can now appreciate – to some extent – the lure involved with such a game. It's not just about strategy but there's also something very psychological to the whole thing; namely, the "possession factor." You own the monsters on the battlefield and can take them home in your pocket when the combat has ended, so of course this would appeal to younger individuals. At the same time, Bakugan isn't without its fair share of flaws and I can only recommend it to hearty fans of the genre." 6.5/10
