Gameplay

This is a 3D one-on-one fighter built around motion input: the player swings the Wii Remote to make a character slash with a sword, turning attacks into physical gestures. The lineup gathers Soul Reapers, arrancar, and other combatants from the series, each fought across 3D arenas.

Story

The plot centers on Arturo Plateado, an arrancar built for the game who the Gotei 13 sealed beneath Sokyoku Hill two thousand years earlier. After the Sokyoku is destroyed he breaks free and impersonates various figures while hunting the scattered pieces of the ruined artifact.

Reception

Reviews land in mixed territory, with an aggregate near 58 out of 100. Scores range from a low around four out of ten to more forgiving marks near seven, and critics generally treat the motion-swinging combat as a middling experiment. The game reaches Japan first on December 14, 2006, then North America in October 2007 and Europe in early 2008.
