Bleach: Soul Resurrection

Bleach: Soul Resurrection is an action-adventure hack and slash video game based on the Bleach anime and manga created by SCE Japan Studio and Racjin and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan in Japan, Nippon Ichi Software in North America and Europe.

Good Qualities

 * 1) All of the characters are well represented from the Bleach anime and manga.
 * 2) Really fun Dynasty Warriors-esque gameplay.
 * 3) Decent graphics.
 * 4) Good animations.
 * 5) Good voice acting in both sub and dub.
 * 6) A decent roster which consists of 21 playable characters and 3 non playable characters.
 * 7) Interesting combos that utilize all of the character's abilities. While the combos seem easy at first, as the most basic ones are executed by just mashing the square button, there's a lot more to it than that; with good timing, you can charge up a combo. This gives you more incentive to do more than just jam on the same button for hours.
 * 8) Great soundtrack. In fact, the opening is the thirteenth opening of the anime: Melody of the Wild Dance by Japanese rock band SiD.
 * 9) The game has Soul Points that you can earn by killing enemies. They're green, they glow, and you don't even have to run around to pick them up; they come to you when you defeat an enemy or destroy an object in the environment. Not only is it super fun to collect things, but Soul Points act as your currency for purchasing character upgrades. With enough Soul Points you can enhance your character and learn new techniques.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While the roster was decent, it still could have been much larger due to the vast amount of characters that there were in the series up to that point.
 * 2) While the gameplay is fun, it definitely doesn't bring anything new to the whole Dynasty Warriors formula and players who are burnt-out on that type of gameplay might be turned off.
 * 3) The campaign is rather short.
 * 4) The game never got a sequel, even though there was much more gameplay opportunities that could be explored with more playable characters.
 * 5) The opening was replaced with an instrumental rearrangement for international releases.

Reception
The game received mixed to positive reviews. On Metacritic, the game has a critic score of 58/100. Japanese magazine Famitsu gave it a score of 28/40. IGN gave this game a 7 out of 10.
