BeyBlade: Let It Rip!

Similar to games with robots, monsters or fighters battling for supremacy, Beyblade Gyros, also called Bei-Goma, pits players against each other in Tournament and Free Battle modes. In the first mode, players receive ten Bey points (with which they can buy parts) and five experience points (with which they can level up) for each victory, but only five and three points, respectively, for a defeat. The tournaments consist of seven rounds, including a semifinal and a final. The final winner is named champion and receives one of 30 Beyblade parts, while the defeated receive 20 Bey points as a consolation prize. In Free Battle mode, the player chooses one of the eight Beybladers from the television series. Two players can compete against each other, provided one has data stored on a PS memory card. Three complete Beyblades can be saved at a time, and names, gender, and parts (swap or buy) can be customized. Beyblades consist of five main parts and a launcher, including a bit chip, attack ring, weight disk, spinning wheel, and blade base, and players can carry up to nine spare parts for repair or customization. Battles require four points to win. Features include special starts, changing paths (based on the gyro's parameters), special attacks, gimmicks (special powers inherent in some parts), and growth (up to a maximum level of 19). There are rewards for leveling up, such as more stamina, agility, attack power and so on. During battles, DJ Jazzman hosts at the Bey Stadium, Kenny helps with customization, and Mr. Tate runs the spare parts store.
