Bleach:dark souls is the best fighter on the ds hands down.But it's also one of the best 2D fighters you can play.
Bleach mixes cards and normal fighting mechanics for a very interesting gameplay experience.The cards are used as in battle aids, some cards boost,lower and give abilities, though at first it may seem like the cards would make things to complicated, the truth is they make bleach not only unique but lot more fun then you normal fighter.Thats not to say that the tight responsive controls don't compliment the card system, Bleach is a fast paced and kenetic game that any fan of fighters or anime will enjoy.
Graphics 10/10
Fantastic animations and even better colors make everything pop.There is also a gallery of artwork that looks great as well.I really haven't seen a better looking 2D fighter on a handheld system.
Sound 9/10
Character voices from the show and tons of sound effects plus good music.This game really covers all the bases when it come to sound.
Value 10/10
