IGN reviews Bleach: Blade of Fate for the Nintendo DS giving an overall score of 8.5/10.
Whether you're a fan of the Bleach series or not really doesn't matter when it comes to Bleach: Blade of Fate. Treasure went all-out in developing a DS fighter that plays, acts, and looks better than any of its competition, and it shows, as Bleach is hands-down the best fighter on the system. Bleach: The Blade of Fate is hands-down the best fighter on DS, and one of the top pocket fighters out there. Handheld battlers take note.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): With so many video games coming from Japan (decades worth), it's no surprise to see a glut of titles inspired by anime and manga. Franchises like Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Naruto may not be as popular as they are in the land of the rising sun, but a devoted Western following eagerly snatches up new entries based on the popular comics and TV shows.
SEGA announced Bleach: The 3rd Phantom, based on the animated series, marking the first time the series ventures into the Strategy RPG genre and featuring an enormous cast of Bleach characters with voices lent by the actors from VIZ Media' series.
Gamertell has posted a list of 10 "prolific, famous and noteworthy voice actors who have lent their talents to video games."
Some of the voice actors in the list are: Michelle Ruff (Odin Sphere), James Arnold Taylor (Final Fantasy, Ratchet & Clank), Paula Tiso (Destroy All Humans), Derek Stephen Prince (Assassin's Creed), Tara Strong (Final Fantasy, Jak, Ninja Gaiden) and Jamieson Price (Castlevania).
The article lists many games to each actor's credit as well as other noteworthy voice performances.
What other games has he worked on? He's overrated though. You can barely understand what he says.
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.
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
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
Nice!! Ill definitely pick it up
I have watched 16 episodes of this series on DVD and am already a huge fan and like this series heaps more then Naruto, I will be getting this game when it is released here in Australia or I can afford to import it from the US.
Hopefully there will be will be a next-gen Action Adventure Bleach some time in the future, possibly on the PS3.
