Bleach: The Blade of Fate is a great fighting game that will appeal to fans of the show and general fans of the fighting genre.
The Good
* It's a solidly designed, deep fighting game with loads of characters
* Nice 2D artwork and visual effects
* Loads of character voices, and they're all the show's actual actors
* Story mode and spirit deck construction will keep you occupied
* So will the multiplayer mode, which supports online matchmaking.
The Bad
* Four-player online matches suffer from lag, especially if spirit
cards are overused.
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.
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.
