Bakugan: Defenders of the Core is not only a fantastic piece of fan service but a competent brawler in its own right. Its stunning cel-shaded visuals, beautiful environments and well-rendered characters perfectly capture the essence of their animé-counterparts, and it's safe to say that fans of the franchise will be in seventh heaven. Street Fighter fans need not apply but if you're on the lookout for an upbeat brawler you can't go too wrong with Bakugan: Defenders of the Core.

A clone of a clone of a clone. That's not worth your time.

A good fan service title, with several improvements over the previous game in terms of gameplay variety.

To be honest I played this game long time ago and there is nothing special in that game but it is more related on your nostalgia. Generally there are no any bugs in game, plot is much better than I expected. The only thing which comes to your mind when you wanna play this game is nostalgic time of your childhood when you turned on your ps3/xbox360 after the school to play it

The inclusion of stealth gameplay is surprising and welcome, but the fighting is the main event here and works well enough.

The game is a little on the easy side but Activision have definitely hit their target audience right in the bull eyes with this title. It just needed some more refining to make this a better game.

The atmosphere of the anime makes up for the basic gameplay and forgettable plot, making this game enjoyable at least by the fans.

Really disappointing that Activision continues to dish out such a shallow and crude game.
