The best U.S. fighting game for DS, no doubt about it! October 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Nintendo DS is definitely lacking in the fighting department, the only other DS fighter that is remotely as good as this is it's predecessor, Bleach: The Blade of Fate. This installment in the Bleach series is not too different from The Blade of Fate to be honest, but it has enough additions to make it a worthy purchase, especially if you are a fan of the Manga/Anime. There is an expanded cast of playable characters, 44 in total. That being said, there are way too many joke characters in this game. Several characters are totally useless, and really, who would want to play as a Hollow when you can be one of the Elite Soul Reapers? The only real benefit of the expanded roster in comparison to The Blade of Fate is having a greater variety of characters to beat on. Overall this game seems faster to me than the previous game, which is definitely a plus. When 4 players are in a free-for-all, you will not see a hint of slowdown, definitely a plus. Story Mode has a decent length and will definitely take you awhile to achieve 100% completion on all difficulties. You no longer have to play through every single mission again in order to unlock everything, once you beat the game you can skip over missions that you have already completed. The card system is better, you can now have 4 cards to choose from at once instead of just 2. The Reiju crystals add a bit to the character balance, you can take a painfully slow character like Sajin Komamura and make him fast enough to keep up with the likes of Ichigo, which makes Komamura nearly unstoppable (huge plus for me as he is my favorite character). For those of you that are into wifi gaming, you'll have to buy this version since everyone playing Bleach online will be playing Dark Souls as opposed to the Blade of Fate. In short, this is more like Blade of Fate version 1.5, but it's the best Bleach game you can get and definitely the best DS fighter that you can buy short of importing the Jump! games.
