Those people who say the minigames are easy have never tried getting Dual Hydranoid. The AI is on a much more human level after you beat the game. Otherwise the game is too static and your underleveled bakugan would just get crushed and you'd be complaining about that instead. Believe me, the game would have been much worse without the mini games.As for the cheap ability cards, don't forget your opponent can use them, too, but a lot of the cheap ones are hard to use. The only Green card I consider "cheap" is Imbalance. I'm no casual gamer and I enjoyed it.
