Game Review: Bakugan: Battle Trainer (DS)

BAKUGAN_BOXAs they say in the business, Bakugan is ‘hot’ right now. More than 55 million Bakugan toys were sold in 2008, meaning that every four seconds; one Bakugan toy is bought in the US. Just like any other popular playthings, Bakugan has its own cartoon show as well, and it’s the top game for boys ages 6 to 12. So what IS Bakugan, anyway?

No wonder why it’s so popular with the kids. And now young fans can enjoy their Bakugan in a whole new way with Battle Trainer on the DS.

So, parents, want to know what a Teen really thinks? Here you go! -GD
