The game follows the storyline of the TV series where Ichigo and co. go to save Rukia. Great for fans of the show, but also for new fans as well.
Pros:
BALANCE. Different but familiar styles give the characters great power in their own right. Learning how to utilize their tactics comes easily.
PICK UP & PLAY. You can input moves (i.e.: down, forward, X), or you touch screen panels that quickly do a special move or super attack. This uses more power to make your moves stronger. Moves done the old fashion way (which are not complicated) let you do moves quicker. Learning to use fast or strong attacks add to the tactics.
SPIRIT CARDS. These help in a number of ways. From boosting defense, to limiting your enemy's power for a certain time adds to the fun, seperating this title from standard button-mashers.
The game has a TON of UNLOCKABLE CONTENT. From stronger cards, to extra characters, different uniforms, even an art and sound gallery.
4-PLAYER BATTLES. These can be a pure delight! Think "Super Smash Bros.," but only 2D.
BANKAIS. Super moves that rule all. 'Nough said.
Cons:
REPETATIVE. While you often keep coming back for more, the game does get a bit tedious after about 15 minutes.
THE CHALLENGE FACTOR. Even on Hard, a three-on-one battle is usually the only time you'll feel pressured to fight to win. However, please note that certain characters get a bit of a "grudge" to their AI and get extremely aggressive. These battles are always exciting when you realize you've got a good fight on your hands. They seem rather random, though.
STORY MODE. Ichigo has the best, longest, and most complicated story. The other characters have rather weak and short story modes.
LAG. Yes, the game can slow down in a 4P battle where a lot happens at once. Rare, but annoying when noticed.
BANKAIS. Not everyone have one, leaving the title with a sense of bias toward certain chracters.
All in all - a fun, addicting little fighter.
