Inu-yasha is a fun game if you like fighting games.I have beaten the game and I got all the characters except for one.this game can get boring if you play it for 5 hours straight because you have to collect a certain amount of jewl shards and if you die you can ether try agian or queit and start all over.this game is fairly easy and can get you mad if there a character that keeps beating you over and over again.Some of the characters like Shippo,he looks easy to defeat and is small but when you get into battle with him it can be hard because he is short and most of your standing up attaks won't hit him and Shippo can transform himself into you and do the same attaks as you.

INUYASHA!!!

I've got to tell you this game ROCKS!! You can be your fav charater and go on a journey to find the shards of the Shikon Jewl. Every thing is spoken in japanese, but they translate the important stuff into American words(ie.conversations with other charaters). I love how they put in the theme song in the game when to P.S starts up(I wacthed it like a million times), they also leave it unedited.Each charater (execpt Shippo, he has 4) has 3 speicial moves and 1 super specal moves. I can go on and on about how much I love this game, but I can't, so I hope this reveiw helps!

cool game

At first I thought this would be a piece unworthy crud!
Boy was I wrong ! I liked Inu-Yasha and the first hidden character ! I liked Inu-Yasha`s special attack! I also thought this game would be very bloody! But it wasn`t bloody or cruddy!

This product is very good.It has many character.Every character has their own characteristic.I think it will become perfect if you make an RPG GAMES with a FIGHTING GAMES like FF X.I wanted if this new game picture is better than the one before and the character is more interesting cause I like SANGO and SESSHOMARU very much.I think you should make an english language for this programme cause many of us are understand english language.Sorry if my grammar bad!!!

I don't give a flip if it is 2D graphics! I love InuYasha. I don't personally like fighting games but hey...it's niffty, it's thrift, it's InuYasha, and it has ACTUALLY been released in the US unlike more than half of the Anime games.

It's one of those things to add to your collection of Anime junk/collection wheter or not you really like the show or not, but I find it's worth it cause I love the characters (most of 'em anyway.)

I recomend it, but whether you (the reader) will buy it is your choice.

A perfect game!

Awesome game! It has all the series has in it. Every special moves of each character is being used in the game as well. A perfect match for the series, and since I'm a BIG fan of fighting game, this is also perfect for me.

The controls are simple and easy to remember. The animation is a also cool enough for a 2-D game. Reminds me of Street Fighter! :-D

Poor use of a great license...

I'm an avid fighting gamer, and I think Inu Yasha is one of the best animes out there. That's why I'm torn on this game. It feels great to be able to use all my favorite Inu Yasha characters in battles. But, the fighting gamer side of me kept on nagging that the game felt cheap and thrown together. Each character has only 3 unique attacks, one super attack, and the usual normal attacks for each one of them. I just couldn't stop thinking about why Bandi left out so many potential attacks for the characters. Even old fighting games from the SNES era has more moves for each of their characters than this game.

Naturally, the game has the usual Bandi inballancing between the characters as well. For example, most of the characters have to kneel down just to hit Shippo, and most of the characters special attacks just go right over his head. Also Sesshomarus special sword attack (if I rememember correctly, his sword doesn't do damage in the anime, hmm) is way overpowered as well, arching everything in front of him making any close up attacks, wheither by air or ground, impossable to hit him. Even performing the attacks are brain dead feats, requiring just the use of the special attack button and pushing just one direction button. Nothing gets more complicated than that, and it feels way to easy to do some of the special attacks. While I'm not saying they should be the thumb numbing deepness of Samurai Shodown 2, I do expect some skill to be required. That, or at least using more than one attack button to do all the specials.

Also, there is no possable way to be able to unlock all of the hidden secrets. After collecting all of the characters, there was still 1 slot left, and I was prompted to go to the backpack to unlock more. When I got there I found out that you have to do every mini game (there's only 3, don't worry) faster than the record in order to unlock the character. Two of them are easy to breeze through, but the last one is impossable. It's a game where you swat poisonous hornets in a given time. It sounds easy, but they all fly at you so fast there's no possable way to hit them all. On top of it, Bandi decided to make it even harder by having shippo being carried away some times. If you don't hit the wasp carrying him before it flies off, you lose 5 seconds, thus making you automatically lose getting the record. It's very frustrating to a gamer that has to have it all, and after 20 tries with various characters I just gave up. You'll get an aneurysm even trying to beat it, and when you see how fast they expect you to do it you'll probably end up throwing your controller like I did.

Much like trying to unlock the other characters, where you have to go through story mode a dozen or so time with it on very easy to unlock them all. Why on very easy? Well, lose 1 round at any time, or not capture almost every crystal shard, and you'll not unlock any characters until the next time you try. It's boring as tar to try to unlock them all in one sitting, and gets on your patience fast.

The graphics are also sub par even for the PS1 standards, and fall back to mediocre SNES standards. The controller changing option strangly refuses to let you use your set up for the story mode for some reason as well, and forces you to use the default controller option. Why, I have no idea, but it's really annoying. I'm not saying that everything with this game is bad. The artwork section is extreamly well done, and the sprites do animate well with what they're given to work with. Also, the dialogue is in japanese, and the translation to English for the subtitles is done very well. That and the music is fairly nice, sounding like it's right out of the Inu Yasha world.

In the end, this game is just a thrown on license to a mediocre fighting game that feels like it fell out of the early 90's. The source material is just pure gold, but somehow Bandi managed to take that gold and forge it into cheap bronze with this game. While it's not entirely broken like Bandis Dragon Ball Z games, it is greatly flawed. With its fairly cheap price it's probably going to be bought by most Inu Yasha fans no matter what I say. But for you fighting game fans out there, stay far away, you'll be gravely dissappointed.
