"A good Beyblade game"

This is a great Beyblade game. Lots of characters, parts and challenges. The only bad thing is that the game is only available in Japanese, so it's hard to read.

Story: 5.5/10
Well, this game doesn't have a story at all. You are a kid who wants to be the World Champion. You and other three friends start challenging other players to win experience and learn new abilities. You can also participate in tournaments. If you win tournaments you unlock new things and new characters.

Graphics: 7.5/10
Since this game is a GBA game, you can't expect the graphics to be perfect. Anyway, this game has good graphics, especially the battle animations when using the bit beasts. The character animation is good but the world map graphics could be better.

Sound: 3/10
The music from this game is nothing special. Anyway, it won't affect you, because you will be so absorbed in the gameplay that you will completely forgot the music. Some sound effects are good and one or two music's are not bad at all, but all the others could be a lot better.

Gameplay: 8.5/10
The gameplay is pretty good. You have a lot of characters to choose from (if you unlock them, of course) and your characters can go up to level 99 if you get enough experience from the battles with the others characters. You can build you own customized beyblade with the parts that you get from the fights, tournaments and secret codes. The battles are really challenging and they are funny to see when you use a bit beast. If you have the right beyblade you can win the battles easily, but if you want a more challenging battle you just have to build a weaker beyblade or challenge a tougher opponent.

Play Time/ Replayability: 6.5/10
This game has lots of replay value. You will need to play the game many times to reach the highest level with all your characters and you will have to play the game for hours, before you can unlock every character, part and tournament. So, you will have to play the game for hours. When you unlock everything I think that it will be hard for you to erase all your data and start again, because there is only a save slot, but it's your own choice.

Overall: 7/10
A good game with lots of challenges and features. It's fun, addicting and challenging. You will either love it or hate it. The only disappointing thing is that you can only get this game in Japanese, so if you don't know Japanese, you won't know what the characters say. Anyway, it's a great game, when compared to other Beyblade games.
