Bakugan Bakubowl - Season 2 New Vestroia

Not what I thought (2010-02-19) : 2/5
I bought this for my 6-year-old son, but I didn't realize that I needed a LOT more bakugan in order for him to play it. This wold have been a better purchase AFTER his collection is established--not when he's just getting started. I don't know if it's a fun game or not since it hasn't been played yet.
Bakugan Bakubowl - Season 2 New Vestroia (2010-01-30) : 1/5
It was a Christmas gift for our son (ten years old).br /He was very disappointed with the product.br /It looked cheaply made. His friend got the same one and he was disappointed also. We don't recomend this product.br /br /
perfect for my 6-yr-old (2010-01-20) : 4/5
My 6-yr-old loves it and I got a great price on this Bakugan arena! Flips open with one snap of the wrist. Perfect area to play on. The only drawback is that the ramps don't clip on to the arena in any way. Case is great to hold the arena, ramps, and all his little Bakugans and cards. Zipper is a little flimsy but has held up well so far.
baku fan loved it! (2010-01-05) : 5/5
My 8 year old got this for Christmas. I don't think it's cheap at all, in fact I love the idea that we can "twist" it, back to a small shape that will fit, along with the bumpers, in the (included) storage/carry bag. He looks at his Bakugan alot, but with this he is actually wanting to play the game. I don't know how much of that is due to the fact that he is older than when he first started collecting, but this encouraged him to get them back out. For what they cost it's good to see them get used! I really wouldn't suggest paying more than $15 for it, but at that it is a good value for the price.
Bakugan made simple... (2010-01-03) : 4/5
If you are unclear as to how to play this game, just get onto [...] and listen to all the instructions. Very informative. It is a simple game of strategy that you can also use to teach basic math concepts of addition and . The only negative thing about their site is that they play this really annoying background music that is too loud. I had to listen to the instructions several times because the background music was such a distraction. This game can be played by children as young as 5 if they have a clear understanding of (greater than, less than). I really think that you don't "need" a playing board, but it would be helpful to keep the bakugan's from rolling all over the place (we have wood and tile in our house with a few area rugs). One could make a simple playing board that would take maybe 30 minutes total (not including a trip to home depot) to make. I think that as kids get older you can increase the complication of the game by using the "ability" cards. For younger or first time players it would be better to just use the bakugans and "gate" cards. Whomever gets the higher score, wins that round. The first person to get 3 gate cards in their used pile wins the entire game. Simple. I'm still trying to convince my husband that we need to get more bakugans and play. :) Have fun gaming! (By the way, I rated the game, not the board itself)
