Bakugan Battle Arena hottest 2008 toy
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.
Bakugan was first released in Japan, and after success there and in Canada, it was released in the United States, where the game is continuing its record of success. In fact, many people who enjoy the game are joining leagues to play Bakugan in tournaments. The game is similar to Pokemon or Yugi-Oh, in which players battle or fight against each other for points.
Bakugan Battle Arena is a game that the whole family can enjoy. If your family enjoys game night, this is one game you must have. Parents can feel good about this game since it will help children with math and reading skills, as well as promoting good communication. It is based on the Bakugan Battle Brawlers, an anime series, which enjoys worldwide popularity. The series is about a group of children that set out to save the world using the Bakugan strategy.
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.
For kids who are already Bakugan devotees, the Bakugan Battle Arena is a “must have”, and it is very easy to fit together. This accessory adds an extra dimension to the battles. Both the Bakugan Battle Arena and Bakugan Battle Brawlers made their debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York City and were immediately placed on the list of hottest 2008 toys.
