    A great Bleach 'thing' but it lacks the grace that holds the show's combat together. [June 2009, p.70]

    Bleach: Dark Souls is a great 2D beat 'em up for hardcore fighting fans but I can't see it bringing in many new converts to the genre.

    This is a great 2D fighting experience for the DS. With impressive graphics and entertaining super moves this is definitely something that Bleach fans will enjoy. There are few new features to be found here when compared to the predecessor though. A multiplayer mode that only requires one cartridge is a big plus for the experience.

    Bleach: Dark Souls is a good fighting game, focusing on the most important aspect: its playability. It might no be revolutionary, but it's a good game considering that it's based on a license.

    Ofrecía aún más contenido que la anterior pero por otra parte creo que trataba una historia no canon.

The arcade mode isAfter initially having a negative review of the game, I started over and got used to the controls with the arcade mode. The arcade mode is entirely too short for being on normal, but the controls are actually pretty easy to pick up after a little bit of practice. The story mode is a little hard to follow as someone who doesn’t know the story of Bleach already, but it’s at least simple enough for me not to be completely lost.… Full Review »
