However, as I have mentioned the story does not make much sense, and certain characters are introduced without being explained who they are or why they are there. Here, you must stop the evil Vexos from destroying the Earth by the way of Vexos crystal, as well as find a way home. If I had to pinpoint what the story actually is, I would say that you, an unnamed customizable character, fight alongside fellow Bakugan brawlers after the Bakugan Interspace (a place where you train with your Bakugan) malfunctioned, sending you to an alternate Earth. It simply thrusts you into the world headfirst, and often comes across as a loosely hung together mess. Yes it had one, and the bulk of your time will be spent in “Story” mode, but the game gives no indication of who the characters are, what you should be doing, and what exactly is going on at all. The first thing I will say about the game is that I never was able to understand the story at all. I really wanted to enjoy it, but with lackluster graphics, clunky gameplay and downright boring cutscenes, Bakugan: Defenders of the Core does more harm than good.

Following in the footsteps of similar series such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakugan tries to take the formula of an anime-style video game, and use the core material to make a fun, fast paced action game. Bakugan: Defenders of the Core is the second installment to the game series based off the anime and card game that has been sweeping across America.
