Bleach: Soul Resurrección Review - 8.0

Game	Platform Played On	8.0/10
Bleach: Soul Resurrección	PlayStation 3

Before I get into the review I would just to apologise for the delay in getting this review up. I had hoped to have it online by Friday, the games release day here in the UK, but I was unable to. So I apologise to my readers and to Temco Koei who were kind enough to send me a review copy of Bleach: Soul Resurrección.

The Good

• Characters look great
• Plenty of replay value
• Easy Controls
• Moves look powerful and destructive

The Bad

• Main game is a bit short
• Loading times a tad long
• Game is a bit tough

Review Summary

Bleach: Soul Resurrección is a hack and slash game, in a similar vein to Dynasty Warriors, but it shouldn't be dismissed for it. Bleach: Soul Resurrección is a great looking game, it successfully brings the Bleach Anime/Manga to the PS3. Whilst the Story mode is short, with only 14 story levels, there are 28 Missions and 9 additional levels in Soul Attack. These extra levels, combined with how the game dishes out trophies and the various difficulty levels, do mean there is plenty of replay with Bleach: Soul Resurrección. The game can get a bit tough in places, but levelling up characters isn't hard. The overall story that is told via the game is pretty lacking, but for Bleach fans who have seen the Anime this is never a problem and it covers most of the main battles and fights. I had fun playing this game and happily recommend it to any Bleach fan, Hack And Slash Fans, or PS3 gamers looking for a fun challenge.

She defied her destiny. She set out to vanquish the false gods enslaving mankind.
After the war, the world was no longer the same. Humans reigned victorious and their gods were no more. Their utopia fell from the sky and became one with Pulse, the underworld crawling with beasts and fiends. It marked the beginning of a new era. However, she was nowhere to be seen. Everyone believed she was gone—with the exception of one, her sister, Serah.

Three years later—
A meteorite disrupts the serenity of a peaceful village. Time is distorted; bloodthirsty monsters are released within the confines of the secluded town. Amidst the chaos, Serah is saved by a stranger who goes by the name of Noel. A hunter from the future, he bears an important message.
"She is waiting for you," he says. "Come with me if you want to see her again."
She is Lightning—protector of the goddess who rules the realm of death and chaos, the one–and–only sister of Serah.
"I need to see her. I need to see my sister." Her heart brimming with hope, a determined Serah sets off on an adventure to reunite with her sister, her family, her world.
