An game based on an anime and it actually has variety?!

User Rating: 8.1 | Bleach DS 2nd: Kokui Hirameku Requiem DS
I've learned to hate anime over the years of growing up and I do not understand why people love this series so much, but I do however, understand why people love the game. For those who think a company like Sega can not make decent games anymore, just remember that they have Treasure. Yes, the developers of Gunstar Heroes made this game. Because of this, players can immerse in fast paced fighting action that replicates the action found in the show fairly accurately. Not to mention, the usage of cards allows players to discover new levels of strategy not found in many current fighting games.

This also allows players to fight opponents and finish them off much quicker than they would by just using pure brawn and combos. Due to this game alone, one could actually wonder if other 2D fighting games can exist on the DS. The game is executed flawlessly from start to finish. The fighting is FAST with either no or little lag time. Watching your characters fly across the screen and unleash a devastating combo allows gamers to really get hooked on the game.

Not to mention, this game also adds other great things than their licensed characters. The constant unlocking of cards allows players to continue and change their card variations to see which cards benefit them the most. Not to mention, the game incorporates the Nintendo Wi-Fi service, allowing players to unleash their fury with others around the world.

If players love the quick action of games such as Marvel Vs Capcom, then players will definitely immerse themselves in a wonderful gem such as Bleach 2nd. Unlike other franchises that just slap characters into one game just to appeal to fans, Bleach is one of those games that proves us otherwise. Good job Treasure, you live up to your name.
