Jump Force made it clear that fans can't get enough of crossover anime games. Although it failed to hit the mark by earning a spot in the fighting game community's competitive scene , Jump Force won over the hearts of casual gamers and anime fans alike.
Its massive original roster of anime characters and even more impressive roster of DLC characters made it a sure-fire success story. For fans just hopping on the anime crossover game hype train, it should be known that these games are nothing new.
There is a long list of both mobile and console games that sport anime-style art and popular Shonen crossovers. The anime game that had everyone sitting on the edge of their seats prior to its release boasts one of the best casts of anime characters ever seen in a video game. The release trailer flaunted clean photorealistic fight sequences that showed off a diverse cast of characters from Dragon Ball , Naruto, and One Piece.
Though the game faltered a bit on release, it picked up steam with each DLC that it dropped. With each update, Jump Force offered gamers more and more characters from the Shonen Jump catalogue.
Hopefully, game developers can learn from Jump Force and continue to deliver triple A anime crossover games. J-Stars Victory Vs. Even when J-Stars was released internationally the following year, most gamers overlooked the anime brawler. Check out the trailer below Bandai Namco Entertainment has released a new batch of screenshots featuring the recently announced characters from Naruto that will be playable in the upcoming Jump Force. The screenshots feature Gaara, Kakashi, Kaguya and Boruto in action.
Gaara will be versatile in Sand Jutsu, including his Shukaku as part of his moveset. His arsenal of attacks consists of his Disappearing Rasengan—which is useful for far ranged attack that follows the opponents movement trajectory. The Boruto Burst in which Boruto creates Shadow Clones which launch Boruto himself for a continuous attack on the enemy. World Mission will be the first game in the Heroes series to release outside of Japan. It has been mentioned on stream that players can do local battles as well as play online matches.
Like in Ultimate Mission X for the 3DS there will be a mission creator that can be uploaded online for other Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that an open beta for Jump Force, which will be running from January 18th through January 20th. I think that it would have been better if they showed you exactly how to hold the wii-remote. Rotating it slightly will throw off your movements. Another problem that I had with it was the story.
It was rather interesting, having to follow through the alternate storylines of each character you played as, but it was a fairly basic story for Bleach and it was rather short.
Instead of having a basic, short story for several characters, I would have preferred a long, intricate story instead of several short ones preferably several long storylines But overall it was fairly good. This is a moderately well-done fighting game. The controls are well integrated into the game concerning the Wii's motion controls. The controls are a bit rough around the edges and the graphics could use some touching up. Looks like the game was rushed when in production to get it released by a certain date.
Thus, some important details and touch-ups were pushed to the side. Other than a few flaws, the game is worth playing. The story mode is very short and one can beat the game rather quickly. Multiplayer is fun and very well adapted into this game. For Bleach fans, I would recommend buying this game to add to the collection. It is worth buying and is also just a good game. Hopefully, if Sega or any other company makes another Bleach fighting game, they take more time and effort to make it more worthy of having Bleach in the title.
I do also like fighting games, but it's no secret that other games handle the genre better--so I wasn't buying it expressly for that fact. That being said, I didn't know what to expect from B:SB, so it was a new experience when I loaded it in my Wii and fired it up.
The combat in Bleach: Shattered Blade is a strange mix of flurries of activity punctuated by moments of squaring off; regular blows have a strong tendency to be deflected if the enemy instigates any kind of attack while being attacked, lending to a strange sort of hybridized offensive defense. Critical Attacks, which are slower, are mostly unstoppable including by blocking and instead require dodges; a player with quick reflexes may be able to avoid them even at close range, but many characters have a deceptively large area in which they can strike with even simple blows.
Attacks of all sorts consume a Spiritual Pressure gauge, which must be replenished over time, preventing infinite streams of spammed attacks but also inserting delays in battle. Bleach: Shattered Blade includes a character not seen in either the anime or the manga, which to me seemed a bit exciting when I first read about it, but the character turned out to be anti-climactic in terms of abilities not to mention the comical mismatch between the appearance of his character and his voice actor's timbre.
The plotlines in the game are somewhat forced as well, but not entirely worthless, at any rate; that being said, most fighting games are almost completely devoid of plot to begin with, so I suppose it isn't a major complaint. The game's graphics are a strange mixture of anime-ish cel shading and 3D, and the characters have that kung-fu-movie tendency to not match up anything they're saying with the movements of their mouths.
Perhaps this is less of a concern to you, but to me it made the characters seem more sterile and robotic--but part of the reason I like the Bleach animation series is because the characters seem so lively and vivid: thus, my dissatisfaction with this element. One good thing about B:SB is that it makes most characters quite serviceable when fighting against one another; playing a Captain from the series against, say, a seated officer doesn't mean that the Captain has a major power advantage.
This means that players are, for the most part, free to play as their favorite characters without having to worry about being slaughtered by virtually everyone else's superior techniques. There are still a few exceptions to this rule, but again, characters that just don't work are another staple of many fighting games. At the end of the day, Bleach: Shattered Blade is a fighter of bread-and-butter quality; though it does some things you won't find in other fighters, it isn't spectacular in the areas of commonality, either.
If you're a fan of the series and don't yet own a Bleach game, you'll probably like this game a lot--mostly for the wide variety of characters available to be played. Otherwise, you could probably do better with a different fighting game series, in which your movelists will have some continuity with other games--barring a major improvement in quality, it's unlikely the Bleach fighting series will go too much further.
The game isn't bad, but with all the other great fighting games out there bleach falls short. The good. The game contains members from the Japanese anime series that go beyond the American releases. Characters have different moves that can be combined differently; giving all the characters distinct gameplay. Multiplayer gamplay is awesome. The bad. It immediately halts gameplay for the characters to unleash their bankai.
It can get frustrating. Blocking is useless. All critical attacks make blocking pointless. So critical attacks are often used in the game.

That One Guy said: I remember in One Piece Grand Battle they all had terrible reasons to beat the crap out of each other some were ok-ish. DarkVic said: Is it just me, or does anyone else hate the main charater of the One Piece show?
