A Quality Fighting Game

InuYasha has great 2D graphics and an easy to learn fighting system. Combos are done by pressing the attack button repeatedly. Special attacks can be done by only pressing the directional pad plus the triangle button. You don't have to remember everyone's special move ; it's the same! You can also have tag team battles. It's no "Street Fighter" but it is a great game.

I have loved Inuyasha for the longest time. I didn't know it was that well known by others. I am extremely glad that a video game is being made of this briliant work of art. I have completed assurance that it will be wonderful.

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!!!

Latly i`ve only been playing final fantasy (mainly ix and viii) so it was good to play a simple fighting game like this.Most of all I liked the clips from the show for the special moves.The fighting is simple and the special moves are easy to do,Just press the directional pad and triangle.

so peace out and i hope this helped u enough

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.

Inuyasha Tons of Fun

I got Inuyasha 4-10-03, the day it came out (well at my mall). And it is pretty much a fun game. My favorite character is Shippo. Right now the only things I've unlocked are Backpack option, Koga, Kikyo, Kagura, and you already have Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippou, and Sango when the game starts off. So right now I'm trying to unlock Sesshomaru, Naraku, and those 2 secret characters who I'm not exactly sure of who they are from the shadowed picture in the book. I have 99 shards. I've beat the Feudal Fairy Tale mode about 3 times and they just stopped giving me characters when I beat it. I thought I was supposed to get another character each time I beat the game or something. But do they just give you characters randomly? If not what do you have to do in the Feudal Fairy Tale mode to get more characters? Does ANYONE know?(please email me if you know) But other than unlocking the characters being confusing it is pretty much a fun and easy game. The gameplay is simple. The easiest way to fight is to use the directional buttons along with the triangle button. This game is every bit as good as the show. The game follows the storyline and has 6 modes in all. Feudal Fairy Tale Mode (collect shards), VS Fairy Tale Mode (battle against com or against a friend), Dream Fairy Tale Mode (fight 2 on 2), Myoga's Training Mode(practice), Shippo's Seven Changes Mode (options), and Backpack Mode (listen to music, look at images, and play mini games, this mode has to be unlocked). The game is very familiar to Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22. All in all this game is great for Inuyasha fans and fighting game fans alike. A must buy for anime lovers.

InuYasha-Does it kill to add a few details?

I bought InuYasha because I am a fan of the manga by Rumiko Takahashi. I expected a good fighting game with the same plot as the manga, but it was far from that. In the game InuYasha it takes about four minutes to beat the boss and win the game. It doesnt even mention how Naraku tricked Kikyo and InuYasha. Is it just me, or is Naraku as easy to defeat as the rest of the characters? It doesnt mention how Naraku used to be Onigumo, a human or mention Kaede, Kikyo's sister. Now, since Kikyo is just a human, why does she look the same as she was fifty years ago? Because she died the day InuYasha did and was then raised from the dead by an evil ogress!

They should come out with an American version of InuYasha, because I dont think the first thirteen episodes mention Kagura at all. What is the the thing that InuYasha and her must settle? Who is this Sesho Marro anyway? All these questions can be answered in the manga.

On top of it all, the graphics in this game are terrible! This game is 2D and would be MUCH more interesting if it was 3D. The fighting system would be better, traveling would be better, everything would be better!

The only good thing about this game is the fighting system. Even though it is simple, you must block and perry instead of simply wacking away at your apponent, the way I do with some games.

All in all, a bit more detail about the plot and better graphics would make t5his a much better game.

InuYasha, truely the best game/show

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!
