Bleach 2 DS 2nd (Japanese version)
Score 8.6/10

This game isn’t out anywhere except in Japan, which is a real shame as technically its one of the best looking games I have seen on the Nintendo DS. I remember years ago queuing inside chip shops waiting to play on the ahead of its times Neo Geo arcade machine. With my 10 pence ready I knew I would only have one shot at getting to level 2, otherwise I would be forced to join the que once again.

This game certainly reminds me of your classic Japanese sword wielding fighter. It has smooth and fast paced graphics with no visual glitches that I can see. There are loads of completely over the top special moves from rocks, lightning to a giant a wild boar that runs down your opponent. My favorite special move is when one of the characters turns into a super sized giant and you are able to smash your ant size foe with either of your building sized arms.

Although I don’t speak or read Japanese, I can tell there is much depth in this game. As well as all of the different mode types (including wireless) there seems to be an assortment of power ups and upgrades, and I am pretty sure there is some sort of shop too.

This is a sequel, but so far I haven’t played the original. I do hear this one is an improvement, but if the original is anything like this one, then it must be good.

All in all this is a great game, and I would recommend you import this game right now if you are a fan of fighter games. I haven’t seen another fighter on the DS that can match it.
