DHGF: The best you can say about Rise of the Resistance is that the gameplay is solid and plays well enough. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough to carry the game. It suffers in every other facet. The graphics are outdated, the audio quality is some of the worst on the system, it has no replay value, it’s too easy, and only the youngest of crowds or biggest of fans are going to find much worth in it. The game isn’t bad at all, but there’s just nothing of interest in here. I really hope they get back to what make’s Bakugan fun and give up on all of these spin offs.
The newest offering in the Bakugan Series, Bakugan: Rise of the Resistance, is now available on Nintendo DS.
Diehard GameFAN: Late last month, Activision announced a new Bakugan game would be released this year. Bakugan: Rise of the Resistance marks the fourth video game based on the Bakugan franchise and the second DS exclusive game. Besides the initial announcement, not much has been released about this game. As a lot of the staff here at Diehard GameFAN enjoyed the first game, Bakugan Battle Brawlers and others, including myself, have played the other two titles, we were interested to learn more about this game and what adventures await Dan, Drago and their friends. Robert Conkey, a producer for the game was kind enough to sit down and answer some of my questions about the game.
Diehard GameFAN: Here at Diehard GameFAN we’ve had mixed feelings about the Bakugan video games. Mark, Aaron, and I all enjoyed the first game, simply entitled Bakugan Battle Brawlers. After that, things went a bit downhill. Aaron didn’t enjoy the DS exclusive Bakugan Battle Trainer and I didn’t really care for the next console title, Bakugan: Defenders of the Core. Still, even with varying degree of quality in the Bakugan games, we’ve all been more or less interested in the video games.
