 Great game for fans and gamers alike. November 21, 2008
The game is a bit of a button-masher, but that makes it no less fun. The graphics are amazing for a game liek this (i think). With lots of characters to choose from, you wont get bored of it easily. Story mode is a bit short, but there are lots of other things to do (and lots to unlock). I wish it had more of my favorite characters (the sequel to this game solves this tho :]) but all and all its a great game for anyone to play, even people who arent fans of the anime.
Bleach: The Blade of Fate November 4, 2008
This game is really fun. This game is a fighting game, the story is based on the event of Bleach when the heroes invaded Soul Society. The fighting engen is really balanced, and the fighting moves is not like street fighter, where you have to puch 10 buttons in a row to preform a special move. However, the fighting moves is simple and easy to remember and very fun moves to preform if you have seen the serious. The graphics is really good. The storyline also is very entertaining. There is also multiplayer mode, There are 2 rows in each battle field and each player can jump to either row or they can all nuke each other in one row.
Basically, the game is really entertaining and very fun. The battle system is really simple and easy, yet very balanced and enjoyful.
Best Fighter on the DS September 1, 2008
This is a great game from a great anime. The storyline portion of the game loosely follows the anime; however, it is the wifi where it truly shines. Playing against human opponents is great fun and adds greater gameplay. The storyline and most of the other game modes are decent at best, but most of the characters are decently designed and allow for some competitive battles on wifi with other people. Unfortunately, some of the characters are just throw-ins and are not really well fleshed out and completely sub par to the rest. Aside from that, this game is great fun for any fans of Bleach or of fighting games.
 A great fighter for fans and non-fans July 14, 2008

Years ago I used to be heavily into multiple genres. Even ones I've all but ignored today like fighting and racing games got heavy play, mainly due to having people I can actually play the game with. But over time, my interest changed to RPG's and action games and I literally haven't played a fighter in years. But since I'm a big Bleach fan, I just had to check out the game. Fans of the show will find plenty to love about the game and even makes a great fighter for those not into the show.
Story: The story mainly centers on Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student who absorbed the powers of Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki, a fighter part of a group who hunts Hollows, giant monsters that human eyes can't see. While able to save his family, Ichigo all but drained Rukia of her powers which is a big no-no and Rukia is taken away to be executed. Ichigo along with friends Orihime, Uryu and Chad as well as cat guide Yoruichi travel to the Soul Society to rescue Rukia.
Graphics: The graphics are pretty usable for a fighter and since this is a DS fighter it's not going to have the wow of Final Fantasy IV but sprites are animated quite well, there's barely any slowdown even when things get hectic and some special moves of characters look pretty awesome.
Sound/Music: Racing, like fighting, is the kind of genre where I kind of prefer having my own music playing. It's not that the music is bad here as its serviceable but it's not really memorable in the least and the voice acting can get annoying when every move has the accompanying sound effect for each one.
Gameplay: With a wide assortment of characters to choose from, the variety is quite welcome from the big and powerful like Chad or Kenpachi to more agile opponents like Yachiru or Yoruichi. The move lists are pretty much the same for everyone but it becomes strategic in figuring out how to use each one's strengths. So one move might be projectile based while the same move for a different fighter is a combo that shoots your opponent in the air. Some fighters though are just simply too clumsy to use and don't really feel enjoyable while others are kind of a blast and become favorites.
Added to the mix are Spirit Cards which you tap on the touch screen which will give you brief benefits such as disabling your opponent's ability to jump while another might exchange your spiritual power for theirs which allows you to activave your special moves. Since using the moves is part of a meter that recharges, it's a good benefit to switch yours with theirs. Only problem is that because your fighting with a normal playing position, it's awkward to hit the card with your thumb or nail. And activating the special moves can be frustrating, especially with some of the story mode's you against 2-3 opponents. Luckily, there's a different menu you can switch to on the touch screen where the moves can simply be pressed to activate.
With challenge modes, versus, Wi-Fi play, download play as well as the somewhat lengthy (and rather repetitive) story mode, there's plenty to love about the game though it helps if you're a Bleach fan since it's a lot more cooler. Even when my hand cramped a bit, I still kept playing which says something about the game...or me being stubborn about taking breaks.
Great Bleach Game May 17, 2008
I like the bleach series so getting this game was a no brainer. But i was surprised just how fun this game is to play. It has just about all the characters you really want to play as. And the card system gives the game a good balance. I'd say i was entertained for a good 10-15 hours. Which is pretty good for a DS game. But make sure you are a fan of the series otherwise i don't think you'll like the characters as much. Good luck!
