Bleach: Blade Battles + Bonus

Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki lead another cast of old and new Bleach series characters in a blazing 3D fighting game where up to four players may participate at once. By using soul swords as well as special attacks, the warriors clash and weave magical blasts as they dash around the battlefield in a chaotic 2-on-2 challenge or a four man free-for-all.

At the outset of the game, the only playable characters are Ichigo, Rukia, Ishida, Sado, and Orihime but 18 additional fighters may be unlocked as conditions are met. In the Story Mode of the game, players choose one of the five characters and then engage in objective-based battles as well as collaborations with a COM-controlled fighter against another duo of warriors. The Story Mode features new interactive storylines for the characters to follow and starts off with a battle where Ichigo fights by his lonesome. In subsequent clashes, Ichigo teams up with fighters to battle opposing duos. A Mission Mode starts off with 5 available scenarios to enjoy but includes a total of 50 missions to play and dominate. The graphics are cel-shaded and the fluid animation lends itself nicely to an all-around competent fighting game. «NCS Game Notes»
