When i first heard of bleach i thought of the house hold cleaning product, now when i say bleach i talk about not only the anime series but also the game. Its gameplay has significantly improved over the last one, now you can actually understand what exactly is going on and the terms to clear the stages are clearly expressed though it is in japanese. There aren't many problems understanding how to play, but it would still be better if it were in english as plot might be lost in translation. Here's the breakdown:
Gameplay- The gameplay is very simple, use the control pad to move, the a,x,y buttons to attack and dash is b, then there's block with R and moving between sections with L, the incorporation of the touch pad as a power-up card stack is very ingenious, most if not all fighting games on the DS don't have that. Understanding how to play is very easy, taking more or less 30 minutes to know how to fight.
Sound- The sound qualities on the DS is surprisingly good, more or less as good as the previous games, the voice acting of the characters is also great even if you don't understand what they are saying.
Graphics- The quality of the graphics is surprisingly good especially for the DS, it feels like you are playing on a High-def TV more than it does on a hand-held console. The movies in between Bankais or specials is very impressive.
All in all, this is a great game and everyone who loves bleach or is just getting into the craze should get this game, if you don't have a DS, Buy one then get this game!
