GameSpot gives 3.5/10 to Wii's Bleach: Shattered Blade

Bleach whitens, so it's a good title for a manga about ethereal ninjas who cleanse evil spirits. It's also toxic, making it an apt name for a game you should avoid at all costs, which, in this case, is Bleach: Shattered Blade. Based on the anime adaptation of the aforementioned manga, Shattered Blade is a dim-witted 3D fighting game that squanders its source with idiot controls, chintzy production values, long loading times, and a lame plot. This is not even a good game for rabid fans, as they are the ones most likely to be offended by Polygon Magic's horrible whitewashing of their favorite fantasy.

trust me i have the game thanks MKred for the tips now can u hook me up with some of th bubbles u have plzzzzzzzzzzz

Prismo_Fillusion6024d ago

The first step to gaining bubbles is correct grammar and spelling.

It's not a great game, but its close.

Had they made the characters a little more different, it could have been a really GOOD game. All of the characters playing more or less the same makes it less fun, much less fun, but still decent.

I'd have only given it about a 5, becausse its decent, but, without friends around, pretty forgetable.

Are all the good Wii games 1st party Nintendo games?

Prismo_Fillusion6024d ago

Zack & Wiki is the second best Wii game in my opinion, and it's 3rd party.

But if you'd like to go by Metacritic...
2 of the top 5 rated Wii games are 3rd party.
4 out of the top 8 are 3rd party.
7 of the top 12 are 3rd party.

MK_Red6024d ago

Completely agreed Prismo_Fillusion.
After SMG, Zack & Wiki is the best Wii game and certainly one of the best titles of 2007. Hope more people buy and enjoy it.

bootsielon6024d ago

That is new IP and has about 40 hours of gameplay or so?

DeckUKold6024d ago

And I know if your lying by which game you say I also allow you to pick known IPs

BrotherNick6024d ago

How long is that game going to keep you immersed, 3 days? a 40 hour game keeps me interested for a month lol...

Most anime games out there suck. The only good ones are Jump Superstars and the DBZ games.

Gamebosh Review: Bleach: Shattered Blade

Gamebosh writes: "If you're looking for a glossy Japanese beat 'em up with unrealistically proportioned women and swords the size of small oak trees, chances are you'll like Bleach: Shattered Blade very much. The trouble is, if you've never heard of the Bleach comics, which are simply huge in Japan, you'll be scratching your head about the confusing plot in-between the fights (something to do with collecting shattered sword shards so the characters can enter the human realm again).

If, however, you are a fan of Bleach and own all the Manga comics, the three feature films, the animated TV series, the soundtrack CDs, the trading card game, seen all seven rock musicals (?!) and own the eight video games (available mainly in Japan with a few released in Europe on the DS), then you'll know exactly what the Sokyoku shards are and what they mean to the main character, Ichigo Kurosaki."

lol no david hayter (Solid Snake) ? , riiiiiiitt

SPECTER5709d ago

LOL same thing I was thinking.

Homicide5709d ago

What other games has he worked on? He's overrated though. You can barely understand what he says.

Homicide5709d ago

I was really amazed with how good the voice overs were in Persona 3. I loved Akihiko's voice the most. Looks like many of the Persona 3 cast were mentioned there. Also the guy who did Tidus' voice is the same as Ratchet? Interesting.

daous5709d ago

No Quinton Flynn?

You know, the guy who voice-acted Raiden (MGS2 and MGS4), Axel (Kingdom Hearts 2), Henry (No More Heroes), Reno (FFVII: Advent Children and FFVII: Crisis Core), and Spider Man (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance). Of course, this excludes a few anime voice acting he's done :P

The Dark Side5709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

Oh man, talk about discrimination. If there is one voice in videogames that is recognize it is Keith David. Where the love, he should of definitly been on the list. Lets look at his credentials. Videogames: Halo 2 and 3 - Arbitor; Saint's Row 1 and 2 -Julius; Mass Effect - Capt Anderson; Fall Out - Decker; Planetscape: Torment - Vhailor ; Lord of Everquest - Lord Vekk; Transformers the game - Barricade. And he does cartoons also. The two main ones he is known for is Gargolyes- Goliath and Spawn - As Spawn. And if you did not know about Keith David and his voice work than you been living under a rock.

Paula Tiso over Keith David WTF

Cubed3: Bleach: Shattered Blade Review

A fairly enjoyable experience, coupled with an interesting take on the Wii-remote fighter experience. More flexibility on how you play, and what you can play would have upped the score. Stripping away the characters and franchise, and you can see its problems and limitations compared to more experienced fighting games.
