Bleach: Shattered Blade

Template:Infobox VG Hidden

Bleach: Shattered Blade, originally published as Bleach Wii Hakujin Kirameku Rondo (BLEACH Wii 白刃きらめく輪舞曲(ロンド), lit. "Bleach Wii: The Drawn Sword's Glittering Rondo") in Japan, is the second installment in the Bleach GC series. The game was released in Japan on December 14 2006[1] and in North America on October 9 2007,[1] with a European release planned in the 29th of February 2008 and Australia's release was on the 28th of February 2008. Although the anime outside Japan has not yet reached this point in the series, the game will be a direct port of the Japanese version for American and European consumers, similar to the US release of the game.

A new character has been designed specifically for this game, an arrancar named Arturo Plateado (アルトゥロ・プラチアド, Aruturo Purateado, lit. Arthur Silver in Spanish). This character's appearance is similar to that of Grimmjow Jeagerjaques', though Arturo's hair and hollow remains, which also take the form of half a jaw bone like Grimmjow's, are fairly longer. Unlike most other arrancar, Arturo was self-made. Arturo can also disguise himself as anything from Gotei 13 captains to zanpakutō spirits. He once raided Soul Society, but was sealed beneath Sōkyoku Hill by the shinigami 2000 years prior to the start of Bleach. When the Sōkyoku was destroyed during Ichigo Kurosaki's rescue of Rukia Kuchiki, the seal placed on Arturo was broken and he was freed.

Kaien Shiba, a character from the first game, did not return in this game.

The game has so far received mediocre reviews. GameSpot gave it a 3.5 score; however, the fan ratings on gamespot were more favorable. IGN gave the game a 6.3 out of 10; the reader average is 8.4/10.
