Bleach: Heat the Soul 6 Review
Those of you interested in this game will already know what it’s about. Those of you who don’t, it’s a 2D (with 3D character models) fighter on a 3D plane based off of one of the hottest animes currently being read and watched. Also, this is the 6th game to be released for the PSP. This first one has yet to be released in the states; however, all PSP games are region free and it’s easy to import titles. I do it all the time (30+ Japanese PS2 games with a white Japanese PS2, 2 Japanese PS3 games, 4 Japanese PSP games and 3 Korean PSP games).
Graphics
The character details, designs and backgrounds in this game are superb, especially considering that this is on the PSP. The background adds depth to the 3-dimensional plane that you fight on and all of the attacks look very crisp.
- 18/20
Sound
The music, voiceovers and sound FX in this game are great. Everything sounds just like the anime on TV.
- 18/20
Story
The story follows Ichigo Kurosaki and company as they fight Aizen and the hollows. For more info on the story of the show/manga, check Wikipedia (Long story – but you don’t need to know it to enjoy the game). The story follows the manga with the two movies are thrown in.
- 18/20
Gameplay
The characters have been tweaked and balanced again; however, there are a few that are just plain stronger than others. The flow of combat is very fluid for a PSP game. The movesets, although awesome, are somewhat limited. There are various modes to keep you entertained including, Story, Arcade, VS and Soul Championship.
- 17/20
Replayability
Along with the various modes to keep you entertained, you have 56 total characters to master and 29 environments to fight in.
- 19/20
Conclusion
Bleach: Heat the Soul 6 is a very fun, well-paced game that is only available for the PSP in Japan. We will definitely see a 7th and probably 8th or even higher game in the coming years. Don’t hesitate, pick this game up now!
Final Score
- 90/100

THQ will Entertain You
Here is a quick roundup of games from THQ this Holiday season. Keep in mind, you want to trust the ratings on games today. T = Teen, M = Mature, E = Everyone. My five-year old had the opportunity to see a scene from a T = Teen game the other day, and he was full of questions. Here we go …
