    A well rounded game. It had the “hot key” feature that I love for those of us who fail miserably at those button combos. Being able to play all the characters from the previous title plus several key characters from previous seasons of the show is definitely a big plus.

    Bleach: Dark Souls improves the last game offering a better playing experience. A good working in the gameplay give us the best 2D fighting game on Nintendo DS. An excellent playability thanks to easy executions in the combos, variety game modes and a faithfully to the manganime. A must-have for the followers of the classical 2D fighting games and for the lovers of the franchise.

    Bleach: Dark Souls may feel late to the party for those of you that import, or keep a keen eye on the Japanese gaming scene (even if you don't directly participate), but despite the gigantic gap between Bleach Japanese and US releases, there's still no denying that Dark Souls is one of the best pocket fighters out there, and a seriously impressive package on DS.

    A great Bleach 'thing' but it lacks the grace that holds the show's combat together. [June 2009, p.70]
