BeyBlade: Super Tournament Battle, also known as BeyBlade VForce: Super Tournament Battle and Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 2002 ^[1] in Japan, is a 2002 role-playing video game based on the anime and manga Beyblade and was released originally in 2002. In the game, the player selects a "beyblade" and a beyblader to fight in a tournament, buying better blades as the game progresses.

BEYBLADE SUPER TOURNAMENT BATTLE "Beyblade:Super Tournament Battle" is a video game where players may compete in a tournament using his/her character. The character you choose will fight against Tyson, Kai, Max, Ray, Goki, Mariam, Ozuma, Dunga, King, DJ and Kane in the tournament. The object of this game is knock your oppoenent out of the stadium. The true player earns four points and more if they destroy the adversary's Beyblade to pieces using a powerful assault from the Bit-Beast. Players can also get points if the player makes the Beyblade stop spinning or misses a launch. When launching a Beyblade, a "Launch Meter" is displayed and quickly fills itself up with a golden meter. The closer the golden meter is to its end when the player hits the launch button, the faster the Beyblade will revolve. Players are also capable of releasing Bit-Beasts throughout the battles. The Bit-Beast assaults usually take a larger amount of energy from the adversary than normal assaults and they also increase the speed of the spins. In order to be capable of releasing a Bit-Beast, the player has to earn "Legend Power" points simply by hitting other Beyblades repeatedly {If you're at level 1 and an adversary is at level 2, the opponent will break your spinning top quicker than you can break his/hers}.

[edit] Characters

The game introduces characters from Beyblade V Force. Their personality does not influence the game play, and some of them don't use their original bit-beasts.

[edit] Reception

The game was not well received by game reviews. IGN ranked it 2.5 out of 10, stating that "the concept couldn't be simpler, and this is largely why there's no need to do it in videogame form, especially if the videogame is as poorly conceived as this".
