Bleach Heat the Soul 2 [BEST]

Ichigo and Rukia return to the fighting game fold once again for blazing bouts against fellow Soul Society shinigami captains and lieutenants. Whereas the original Bleach Heat the Soul game only featured six characters as follows:
● Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado,
Abarai Renji
The sequel adds four more fighters as follows:
● Byakuya Kuchiki, Gin Ichimaru, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Kisuke Urahara
for a total of ten fighters at the outset of the game. Bleach 2 features a standard 1-on-1 fighting where players choose a fighter from the aforementioned 10 possible combatants. There's also a 13th Corps Team Division mode where one fights through the ranks of top shinigami captains and lieutenants. The shinigami use Soul Cutter sword attacks as well as Kido or magic spells to topple foes. Before each battle, the camera pans around the surroundings to give an idea of where the encounter is taking place. Chain combos are available where a sword slash is followed by more sword slashes or a punch and a kick. Chain them close enough together and the game will keep track of how many hits have been dealt. For those who need a little help with which combos are available to a character, press the "START" button and then highlight "Combo List" to view the special attacks. Guarding in the game is automatic - stand still and your onscreen champion will guard against all oncoming physical blows. «NCS G-Notes»
