Out-spin to win and Bey-battle your way to the top in Beyblade Evolution, a brand new adventure that takes the videogame series to the next level, only on Nintendo 3DS.īuild the ultimate Bey and let it rip on your rivals on your quest to become the world champion, in a journey filled with familiar friends and fearsome foes from the Beyblade: Metal Saga television series. Those who are not knowledgeable with the inner workings of Beyblades will score lower in some of the mini-games though.In the world of Beyblade, legends are made and dreams realised through intense contests between customisable spinning tops known as Beys. Even though I'm not familiar with the series, I still enjoyed playing this game. I highly recommend this game for any Beyblade or fan or boy in general.
Those who buy the digital version are not left out of this experience since they can download and print their AR card from .īeyblade Evolution retails for $29.99 for the game alone, or you can buy the collector's edition that includes an exclusive Beyblade for $10 more. As cool as this is, it's very finicky and not fun to lose focus (and the stadium) every few seconds.
The cartridge version of the game comes with an AR card that can generate a stadium on your table or surrounding of your choice. The camera is used for alignment so it's important to keep your 3DS still or it may get misaligned. The motion sensors are used to launch the Beyblades into battle. All of the dialogue is text based and there is no voice acting whatsoever.Įven if the 3DS audio isn't fully utilized, Beyblade Evolution takes advantage of numerous other features. I like the guitar battle music that sets the mood and gets your adrenaline pumping. The collision physics seem believable however, I'm not sure how long the Beyblades spin in real life, but I'm guessing the spin length may be exaggerated. The stadium looks great with the 3D mode enabled on the 3DS. It should come in no surprise that the art style is anime like in this game. Apparently many of the characters in this game are from the anime series. Alternately, if the stadium is open you may want to opt for a Beyblade with a higher attack and/or defense to prevent from being knocked out.Īs your character wins battles, they'll be introduced to other Beybladers and unlock new areas to visit and tournaments to battle in. If the stadium is enclosed you'll want a Beyblade that has higher stamina to outlast your opponent. The stadiums vary in type and can prevent or allow your Beyblade to be knocked out of it. The tournament styles seem to be random and some require you to register multiple Beyblades while others only require one. The best way to make money in this game is to win in tournaments. The mini-games range from parts identification to a memory match game, shooting Beyblades at balloons or through hoops, or lastly a tilt maze/obstacle course. The better you do in the mini-games, the more money you earn. The mini-games are fun and can give you some money towards upgrading your Beyblade. Weak Points: Some of the mini-games require you to be familiar with Beyblade parts and models Strong Points: Fun gameplay that can be enjoyed by those not familiar with the toys or DVDs As you talk to fellow Beybladers, you can challenge them to a battle or they may challenge you to a mini-game. I like how this game uses the 3DS motion detection to launch your Beyblade.
The Beyblades are completely customizable and depending on the parts you use, you can increase its attack, defense and stamina.īeyblade Evolution introduces your character (whom you name) as a beginner Beyblader and the people in the first town will teach you how to launch your Beyblade and basic strategy techniques. If you're like me and new to this craze, it's basically top battles where your top must out spin or knock its opponent out of the stadium.
