Devyn

Note: This review is for the Wii version because it's superior to the other versions and I guarantee at least someone agrees with me. This game is absolutely a banger. I don't really see many people talk about it when talking about good Wii games and that's a shame because this game is a treat. It expands upon the gameplay of the DS and PS2 versions by adding the rolling mechanic, where maps are more expansive and you can roll around them to collect extra BP or cards lying around the stage to help you or hurt your foes before you land on your card. The graphics look surprisingly nice and the music is a banger. Upgrading your Bakugan is also interesting, as you can increase one of several stats, which adds more strategy. Maybe you'll upgrade your BP so you'll win more often without needing to use gate cards. Or you might upgrade your stamina because the devs thought it would be funny if your stamina stat was a whopping 1 and you can't roll around for more than 2.2 seconds before you lose all your energy.I like how you can choose how your character looks and you can choose your element as well, although you can't play as a female character which sucks for the people who wanted that, although its neat how they added cheat codes you can enter via the player creator name enter thing, I can't remember the last time I played a game that had intentional cheat codes like that. However, this game definitely has its downsides. While rolling around the stage was coined, the battles took a backseat and it kinda shows. The minigames that aren't shaking are just alright, and if you have substantially more BP than the opponent when you both land on the same card, the AI will use all their ability cards and they become stupid easy. The AI is also notorious for constantly missing their roll and it just ends up being your turn again, to the point where I have to watch their roll and not shoot at them unless I want the game to be a complete cakewalk with me just using double stands to win. There's also a huge jump in difficulty from the Aquos tournament to the Subterra tournament, though that might be partly because I chose Ventus as my element. The maps are also hit or miss. Some are great like Aquos while others are Subterra. All in all, Bakugan Battle Brawlers is a very solid game that I would definitely recommend if you have the time.

This game is great in every almost every aspect. The music is great, the locations are neat and it's a joy for retro fans of Disney to see all of these forgotten characters. It's interesting how you can choose to either save the corrupted characters or just murder them, and it's the same with whether you want to restore the environment or not. Heck, the music even changes depending on your decisions, which is a nice touch. The story is pretty good and it was a clever way to reintroduce Oswald the Lucky Rabbit without him feeling cashed in. The only problem is that a game is a game first, and Epic Mickey is like an amazing game trapped in an alright game. The gameplay is alright but the camera is very annoying. The game also could've been better with voice acting as it would make scenes more impactful, although I'll take no voice acting over bad voice acting. It's a shame that Disney discontinued the series because it really had potential. I'd say to get this game if you have the time because, minus the actual gameplay, it's a real treat.

The gameplay was solid, and while controls weren't the best, they were certainly serviceable, if not solid. The roster of playable heroes was pretty nice, they even brought in hololive characters, though the gacha was annoying. The little side-story esque events that occurred in between the chapters were charming and surprisingly solid, considering that DoTB just looked like a random shovelware game on the switch that was priced for free in an effort to get more players. They even fixed the way you move in the chapter later on in the game's life, being able to choose 3 out of 6 randomly generated numbers instead of it being an annoying roulette. It's pretty sad to see that this game went discontinued and all the effort people put in this game go essentially wasted in the grand scheme of things. Most people probably found the game because they were bored and were looking for games on the switch's eshop, and the fact that CyberStep didn't advertise this was a major factor into it's discontinuation. If this game had gotten more traction by a popular streamer playing it or CyberStep actually advertising DoTB(probably the biggest problem with this game). However, DoTB was one of the many underrated games on the Nintendo switch. 7/10

This is a great game in the gameplay aspect. Controls are smooth and easy to get a hold of, and the game overall is really fun. But there's just not enough content to keep you coming back. Once you beat the story, there's basically only local multiplayer and online tournaments every month to keep yourself busy. It's a shame this game didn't get more DLC cause it really could've used it. If you can find it for a discounted price, definitely go for it, but don't pay full retail($60) for it.
