Description:

This game-based kids' series is trying a little too hard and too obviously to be the next Pokémon. Tyson and his friends Kenny the computer nerd and good-natured Max want to become Beyblade champions. They practice, study, and work on strategy, as they're invariably pitted against someone who's never been defeated. Their biggest foe is Kai, the nasty, win-at-any-price leader of the Blade Sharks gang. Although some blades are inhabited by supernatural "Bit Beasts," Beyblade is just a high-tech variation on battling tops. The matches quickly fall into formula and there's no bond between Tyson and his Blade like the one that links Ash and Pikachu. The animation is minimal, with lots of pans over still artwork. The spiky-haired kids all look as if they just came from Goku's barber shop and talk as if they've been studying diction with Kato Kaelin. (Rated TV7: minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
