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
