Bakugan Battle Arena is highly recommended

By Rose Taylor

Marbles, brawling action figures, and cards combine happily with Japanese anime to form the Bakugan line of toy products for kids. Holiday lists are topped by requests for not only Bakugan Warriors but also for the Bakugan Battle Arena.

These are toys that are on the mind of every child this holiday season and are sure to please all kids aged 5-12. In fact, here you have a gift certain to please even the adults. While simple in theory, the play is fast and furious and, as with all Japanese based games, there is an innocent fun that is missing in so many other products on the market. The rules are easy and even the youngest children will have them mastered in just a short while.

This strategic game has players use various Bakugan warriors to battle each other for points. These warriors include Juggernoids, Robatallians, and Fear Rippers. Players can pretend to be their favorite character from the show, and as they play, they gain a better understanding of the character, as well as the cards.

As kids learn to play, they develop strategies to benefit themselves, while blocking their opponents from getting points. This strategic thinking can cross over to other games and situations, as well, making the game a great tool for logical thinking development for kids.

The object of Bakugan Battle Arena is to wage battle against other Bakugan players to score points determined by what's on the playing cards by having the Bakugan land on a card. Kids love pretending that they are one of heroic characters from the cartoon series.

If these land on the cards, the spring-loaded marbles burst open and transform instantly into battling warriors. Players must rely on strategy to place their cards in the arena in the best positions to give them an advantage. The card placement affects the outcome of each Bakugan battle. The players then must use their shooting skills to launch their Bakugan warriors into the brawl and begin the action. Can anyone say Mighty Marble Madness? Up to 4 players can stage battles in the Bakugan Battle Arena at any one time, which allows for a lot of ongoing action. The Battle Arena has a sturdy, black plastic base with red walls, which keep the mighty Bakugan warriors spinning into action instead of getting lost in battle.

The game is recommended for ages four and up, and can be up to four players at a time. Instructions for how to play the game is included with the Battle Arena. Bakugan Battle Arena is available in retail stores, as well as online. Bakugan Brawlers and cards are sold separately. - 2361
