Wanna find out why Bleach got a low score?
Overall the game play itself is fun only when you are facing your friends or whatever. The use of Flash Step is very appealing (although I think that there should have been something more with Yoruichi's Flash Step) and great to use when your opponent is using Bankai (Run away!). It's pretty simple, swing here and there, cancel out with your opponent, have clashes and surprise each other when you're using your character's Bankai.
Storyline [Episodes]: B-
It's components were alright for a side story, however the most disappointing feature is how the game does not have the option to use the original Japanese voices. Reason to this is because I believe that almost all of the characters from the US version of Bleach sound the same and lack character with a few exceptions.
Graphics: B
The graphics are pretty good here for having so much free movement. Although I think they could have done something better with their presentation.
Music: A
I like the background music from this game, they are all fitting and usually set the mood for heated battles.
Features: B
As you play thoughout the game, you can unlock many things. Buying stuff from Kisuke's shop isn't hard at all. Just unlocking them so it will be sold in his shop is what you have to play for.
Overall: B
Bleach: Shattered Blades is a fun game, I like being able to move around to fight but what gives it a B are the movement flaws from the Wii's sensor and how it can get boring time to time.
My Opinion:
Bleach: Shattered Blades is fun to play against other people. You can use you favorite character and have the joy of preforming their moves. Not many games do that right now so this is why I give it a rating of an 8.0.

I think Game Spot has something against fighting games for some reason. Giving Bleach: Shattered Blades a 3.5 is way too harsh.
