DHGF: Hey kids! Are you one of those gamers that enjoyed when they turned Shadowrun from a RPG into an FPS or one of those gamers that loved when Magic: The Gathering was made into a RTS instead of a straight port of the CCG onto the PSX? Then you’ll LOVE Bakugan: Defenders of the Core as it too takes out everything that made the franchise popular in the first place and instead gives you horrible controls, a stationary camera that hinders one far more than it helps, and some very stupid A.I. The only thing this game has in common with Bakugan is the use of the name and the characters from the anime. In nearly every way, Defenders of the Core is an example of how to utterly mess up turning a tabletop game into a video game.
MeGamers - Bakugan: Defenders of the Core is one of those games where the ridiculousness of it all is only understandable if you are a die hard fan of series, or else you will be as lost as a child in an adult bar (under six of years age that is). For those who don’t know anything here is a little intro to the story (if you’re a loyal fan then you can skip this portion): Bakugan are creatures from another world called vestroia which turn into small balls when they enter our world through a portal. The Bakugan turn into their original selves when they are put into battle. Those who use these Bakugan are called “Brawlers”.
Msxbox-world takes a look at the latest Bakugan game on Xbox 360. It's one for the kids, but is it worth it?

My brother loves the Bakugan cards, so I'm thinking of getting him this for Christmas.
