REALLY FUN

AS a devoted fan of inuyasha, when i saw this game on sale at target at the Christmas season, i istantly wanted it. When got it for Christmas, i was hooked! Even though the graphics arn't the best, and the battles and can sometimes make me groan, over all, it'as really fun. One of the most coolest things about it though, is that u get to build relationships with the characters. I perosnally like spending time with Miroku the best cuz he's my fave character and the adventures u have with him are always hilrious.
There are also anime clips in the video game, so that's pretty kool. I havn't beaten the game yet, but the story line so far is really good.
Another really good thing which makes me happy, is that the oringal voice actors from the anime lended their voices to the video game. That's kool!
But i have to admit, this game is really only for inuyasha fans cuz well.... i don't know, just non-inuyasha fans won't really get it.

Interesting Game

I really enjoyed this game! I'm a HUGE Inu-Yasha fan and I really loved the battles and the interaction you have with the characters. It was nice to see everyone from the series in it and having you as the main character, get to form some kind of relationship with them, be it positive or negitive. What I was really happy with, was the fact that they used the actual voices from the series instead of impostors. Definately worth the money. I look forward to the next game to coming out. A must for all Inu-Yasha fans!

Great place to find Info

Alright, I haven't played this game yet (it's never come out). BUT I have found a great site where a person has played the game and they let you take a look at screenshots and read through walkthrough of the game. So you can decide on your own if you like it or not.

Chatting too long

Let me point out 4 things about this game. It should be changed this way.
(1) Make chatting part shorter
(2) Let users turn on or off showing subtitles.
(3) Multiple languages should be supported. (Since there is an
original japanese version, it would be easier.)
(4) Chatting scenes should be natural way with using animation.

This game can be better with including these ideas.

Great for Inuyasha Fans

Okay, I'll admit, this RPG isn't as involving as say, Final Fantasy, but it's still good. If you are a fan of the Inuyasha series, I highly recommend it. The graphics are good, not great, but, well, how can you not love a chibi Inuyasha? (Although a chibi Shippou is kind of redundant...) The gameplay is your standard RPG far; go fetch this, save this person, do this little mini-game, fight a turn-based battle, so forth and so on. Then again, the element that draws any fan of the show isn't really the gameplay, it's the joy of being able to interact with the characters from the show. Based on your actions and who you choose to spend time with (or don't choose to spend time with) you can get one of 12 possible endings. Just a note here, in order to get the second ending with that person, you first have to play through the game, get that persons first ending (which unlocks their second ending), then play through the game again to view the second ending. This is what gives the game it's replay value. After all, you want to see all the ending don't you?! (On a personal note, I have unlocked Sango's first ending, now I'm trying to unlock Sesshomaru's, because I love him.)

The gameplay itself can be a little mind-numbing because this game has a very high random battle rate. This is especially noticable when you start your second game, because you keep the stats from your first game, making the first hundred or so battles one hit kills on your part (although, this is also good since you don't waste so much time and can get to the ending quicker).

The script for the game is a little bit of a double edged sword. You get authentic voice acting from the cast you've grown to love, BUT, the dialogue itself is asinine.

All in all, this is an average RPG, that people who don't like or know the show should just rent. But for those of you like me, who love Inuyasha, it's definately a must buy.

I'm going to get this game, but I already LOVE the way the character's interact with one another. And the fact that they're CHIBIFIED makes me all giddy and stuff.

The fact that you can play as someone else other than the Inu characters, excites me too (It's a fangirl's dream. LoL.) If it were like a story or something, even the idea of having a Mary Sue would make me annoyed. But this is AWESOME.

And I love Sesshoumaru's attack where he calls out Jaken. LoL. XP But my fav characters are still Inu and Kago.

This is my 3rd review now! My awesome new friend Amy let me play it, and I instantly fell in love with the game. I had Inu-Yasha follow me the whole time. Endless battles and victories ensued. Miroku and I kick butt with our co-op attack ( I think I have a teensy crush on him...he he he >.<). Anyways, overall it's the best RPG EVER!!! A MUST-HAVE FOR ALL INU FANS!!!!!!!!!
Sayonara 'til next time!

P.S. You also get to interact and spend time with the cast! It's every fan's dream come true!!! ...oh Miroku...

I'm 22 years old and I must say that I love this game. And I'm not sure even why. The graphics suck. The camera angles suck. The maps are non-existent. But nonetheless, I still find the game compulsively playable. For those of ya'll complaining, you knew it was gonna be like it is before you bought it. If the concept of the game didn't tip you off, then the pre-release screen caps should've. Overall, I enjoy the game and I love Inuyasha, but the aesthetics of the game suck badly.

To all who need help...including JLOP ^_^

O.k, this game is very, very easy, once you get past that stinkin' spider!! I know it's hard to find him, so here's how.
when you go get the key, go down the hall and look on the bottom of the screen for a sliding door. that's the door which is locked. use that key! you end up in a room with a cat and stairs going down. go down. walk down the hall to the last room. let the game take over from there. you'll get a scene with InuYasha. when that ends, go to the room at the top of the screen...the spider's in there. hope that helps!

Tedious, but not bad overall

First off, it's a pretty short game if you only play through the story. Now to review the actual game: You play as your own character, either a boy or a girl (you choose). At first, it's really fun, because you get to meet the characters and it's basically an exploration with some occassional fighting. Once you actually have to begin the big mission (finding Naraku and Utsugi), it get sooo tedious. As you travel along the roads, you have to watch out for purple clouds (they're demonic auras, and if you hit them, you MUST fight). Often, however, even if you manage to miss the purple clouds, you get sucked into a random battle, anyway. Especially in the castle. And, again, you MUST fight, for if you try to run away, the game freezes and you have to restart. It can be a real pain, because if you're trying to reach a destination only feet away, you may fight about 4 times before you get there. Other than random battles, the game is actually really pretty easy if you know how each character's battle techniques work. The bosses can be a pain, but if you are familiar with the strength of each character, and the fact that some characters can heal (Miroku, Kagome, your character), then it makes things so much easier.

The real fun of the game involves when you decide to take the day off. You can spend the day with any character of your choosing. And, depending on who you've spent more time with, that character will interact with you in its own little substory (I hung out with Sango while playing as the boy...you can guess what happened there).

All in all, this wasn't terrible. I enjoyed it when I didn't get into a million random battles in a row. It's not for those who have only about a half hour to play, because lord knows you'll need at least 2 hours just to clear a stage and save. But, this isn't too bad. It can be enjoyable.
