1UP: Bleach: Soul Carnival Preview

1UP writes: "Bleach: Soul Carnival is a 2D side-scrolling action game for PSP, starring cute superdeformed versions of characters from the popular anime series.

This is the first time that we've played the game, and we were happily surprised with just how enjoyable it is to run around and slice up enemies as series protagonist Ichigo. Enemies come at you at a decent clip as you move through the level -- just enough so that you feel constantly engaged, not overwhelmed. Though you can definitely jam on the main attack button for modest success, Carnival Souls actually has some depth to its combat."
