Bleach: Dark Souls (Nintendo DS, 2008)

First of all, this game is quite enjoyable if you like fighting style games. The animation is decent, the action is good, and the controls are fairly simple. You can play on Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulties which provides enough challenge to keep you occupied for hours.

The drawback to this game is really the story mode. The events are fairly disconnected so the story is not fully comprehensible. Also, because of the way the game map is set, if you complete some events before others, you may not get the chance to play them at all until you finish the entire game.

Overall, if you are looking for some action packed fun and fighting excitement, Bleach: Dark Souls would be an great addition to your DS collection.

It's an amazing game. I gave it as a gift because I am a fan of the Bleach series. I played it though and it is fun and though it takes some time to get the hang of the game play and more time to master it, it is very in depth, true to the story, and above all fun. Get it and try it for yourself.

Bleach: Dark Souls is an excellent fighting game for the DS. Its a fighter where emphasis is given to combos and the executiuon of combos. What I like about Bleach is it actually has a pretty good story mode that teaches you new skills and moves as you go along. So, there is a reason to play through this fighting game's story mode and we normally can't say that about fighting games too much. The game has an online mode that works pretty well, all things considered. Some of the tasks require you to have a bit of a working knowledge of the Bleach series and previous games so that's not too cool if you had not heard of Bleach before and thought it was just something you used on your clothes.. And, as in most fighting games, once you master a few combos, the CPU is not much of a challenge any longer. Still, this is one of the better fighters out there for the DS.

I give Bleach: Dark Souls an 8.3 out of 10.

I love this game, because of it's storyline, Background music, and the new
character lineup.
The storyline itself is suppose to take place after the Rukia Rescue Arc...
But it's kinda a Stand-alone story.
The missions, Gameplay, and Tutorial is quite impressive.
OverAll...NICE.

I bought it because I'm a huge Bleach nerd. It was a game that I've been wanting for a while since I beat the first one. The only thing that I wasn't impressed about in the game was the similarity of Dark Souls with Blades of Fate. While there were some changes, much of it is the same. Adventure mode is more entertaining than the Blades of Fate regardless. A good rating for a fun game that you can still download play with other people if they don't have the game. I recommend it.
