DHGF: Beyblade: Metal Masters is playable, and dedicated players will get some time out of it. That’s all the good I can really say about it. The game does nothing worthwhile with its license. At worst, it is an unbalanced mess with no lasting value. For a fighting game, that is simply unacceptable. Younger children and diehard fans might something in the game, but for everyone else, this is yet another licensed game that should be avoided. There’s nothing for you here. Move along.
Mario Writes: LET IT RIP! Yes we all know what that means (at least those of us into anime) it is another Beyblade videogame! This is the latest installment on the Beyblade franchise, we speak of Beyblade: Metal Masters for the Nintendo DS.
This anime is no stranger to the videogame world and has been present on almost every console, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Playstation and many more.
NWR: While the Nintendo DS is all but dead, there are still third party developers out there cranking out new games for the system. Beyblade: Metal Masters, originally released in Japan in the summer of 2010, just took some time before it was translated and released into English-speaking markets. Beyblade is all about over-the-top crazy anime characters, who speak ridiculous dialogue and battle with seemingly simple metal tops.
"A year later, Hudson is at it again with a sequel to the last Beyblade game on the DS. The steady fanbase is likely what prompted them to develop another title in the first place, thinking supporters of the show and its accompanying line of products would be more than willing to own a video game adaptation of their favourite show. However, Beyblade: Metal Masters is simply another mediocre licensed game that lacks a convincing amount of effort." -- Wiiloveit.com
