How is it that fans have not had enough of not one, not two, but four installments of Bleach 3D fighting game on the Sony PSP? I don’t rightly know the answer to this but what I do know is that SCEI is more than happy to give fans what they want by releasing Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 in Japan on May 2008.

Like its predecessors, Bleach Heat the Soul PSP game is an excellently made fighting game done in full 3D cell-shaded style. I am delighted to find that the developers have included a new Tag Action system (like Tekken Tag, my other favorite 3D fighting game) which boasts of three different tag actions: Defensive, Offensive and Technical. as well as a new way to unleash zanpakuto. You can choose to select one of the 31 characters in the new Tag Battle mode; while Tag Master lets you pick two of your favorite characters and partner them up in a series of fights, tournament style.

Among some notable characters who are missing from this game include Ichigo shinigami version, Gin Ichimaru EX version and Sosuke Aizen EX version. Adult Nel can be unlocked once you gained 50,000 points in Tag Master mode while Pantera Grimmjow will be yours to use after you beat the Story Mode.

Overall, this game is a must-have for Bleach fans and even non-fans will love the stylized 3D images although I must say that this game is a tad too short compared to its predecessors.
