I really like this game!
Is indeed an awesome game! It is a fighting game in which you try to defeat the opponent[s] to go to the next level or just for fun!
You start out with actually quite a few characters, you can unlock more though as you progress through the games story modes [almost every character has a story for story mode.]
All together there is 28 characters you can unlock and use in battle.
Bleach The Blade of Fate also has multiple multiplayer modes in which you can battle in.
There is Wi-fi in which you can battle others in the world wirelessly.
Then there is wireless play in which you need to be close to your opponent to battle them.
And finally there is Download play. In which you could have the game and someone else [near you,] would not need the game to battle you they would just need to go to download play in the ds's main menu.
This game is really great, and I think anyone who likes Bleach should get!
