Bleach Wii Review by Siliconera
This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii Game Bleach by Siliconera
While Bleach Wii isn’t high in depth it’s damn fun. There’s something about swinging around the remote to attack that makes Bleach Wii entertaining, even if it isn’t perfectly accurate. It’s also extremely easy to pick up and learn since the fighting mechanics have been simplified in a way where anyone can play the game. Bleach fans are the ones who are going to love the game the most and it’s too bad the Wii isn’t region free. The menus in Bleach Wii: Hakujin Kirameku Rondo have English subtitles so you won’t have any problems navigating through the game if you were to import it. The only thing you will miss out on is the dialogue during story sequences, which is in Japanese. Since Bleach Wii is so far in the manga story line it doesn’t look it’s going to come out anytime soon unless major changes are going to be made to the game. Hopefully, a region free device will let importers pick this up. Until someone makes one see our videos of Bleach Wii: Hakujin Kirameku Rondo.
Bleach Wii Gamplay info
In Bleach Wii you play the game in nunchuck style where the analog stick moves your character around and the remote mimics sword slashes. There are three basic kinds of actions you can emulate with the Wii remote a horizontal slice, a vertical chop and a thrust attack. Some of the earlier techniques are the “rapid poke” where you keep thrusting the remote or the “infinite chop” where you swing the remote up and down. Waving around the remote is the new form of button mashing in Bleach Wii, but there is a system set up to prevent you from flailing arm victories. See the green gauge below the yellow life bar? That’s the soul power gauge. Every time you make a slash the gauge loses a little energy and after about three seconds of rapid slashing it bottoms out. The sword mechanics fit Ichigo since he uses a sword and his control scheme is fairly intuitive.
