The Bleach Heat the Soul series for the PSP is a good fighting game title to have. Especially the latest installment to the series Bleach: Heat the Soul 6. It has more characters in its roster, 74 playable characters; including more Vizards and Arrancars. It also has an improved tag battle system. It still features the same unique battle system with only a few tweaks to the original game play. Another good addition is that the game offers the past costumes for characters; for example Aizen as a captain and a vice captain or Hirako Shinji as a captain. It showcases the released forms of most Espadas .Also a great thing they have done is start the mission mode from the time Ichigo got his powers to the time they infiltrated Las Noches, giving the game a chance to show the whole story of Bleach.
The bad thing about the Bleach Heat the Soul series is that it is only available in Japanese; as of now it does not have an English version. This leaves non-Japanese players to figure out the controls by trial and error or relying on guide. Another bad thing about the series is that the powers, techniques and fighting styles of characters are accurate. Usually this series release characters without knowing what their real powers are (since these character’s powers were not yet shown in the anime or manga). That being said some of the characters powers were made up or made from hint of what their powers may look like.
Overall, the Bleach Heat the Soul series for the PSP is a good fighting game. However it is not available in English which makes game unplayable for most non-Japanese players. Also it did not stay true to the characters in the game. The overall rating for this game is 3 of 5
i practically played the game. downsides? fighting games that are too unrealistic yet soo intact with the anime aren't really attractive to all sorts of people. I am personally a fan of the Anime BLEACH. Its mostly attractive to those who know the story, the characters, the moves, the trademarks and all. [even the 3 movies of bleach are related here in this game] the game perfectly well. from Aizen's kyoka suigetsu to Ichigo's Getsuga tenshou and the like. Such moves, translations, game setups are for the japanese and in depth fans to enjoy. =p peace out! Oh and another thing, its based probably in manga, so not much people know about whats in the game on its first release. but as of now, many are able to relate to the games features. =p
ReplyDeleteI do admit that some characters are well made like Ichigo and Aizen. However, characters like Ukitake, Koryaku, and Matsumoto have less accuracy when it comes to their powers. Another thing is you have to be Bleach fanatic to be able to have the diligence of studing the controls and options if you are non-japanese. I really liked the game and finished it with obtaing all the secret characters. I simply scored the game based on the point of view of a non-japanese and non-bleach fan.
