Inuyasha: Secret of the Cursed Mask

Recommended

First of I would like to say is that the shipping itself is really good and fast. The order statement itself told me that it won't arrive till a Wednesday which is a week after I ordered. I was very surprised to come home from work and see that package in front of my door on Monday instead. So it arrived two days earlier then I had expected. Awesome right.Now to the game: First of I am at 25 year- old female anime and manga fan. And huge one. And that means also like playing role playing games. I discovered this game when I searched Inuyasha ps2 and I immediately looked up the trailer of it and got it in a instant.From the moment I opened the box too putting it in my ps2 2 minutes after I unwrapped it I was amazed. Inside the game you can choose a female or male character. You who is the character in the game will be playing the character throughout which is pretty cool because it is like you become part of the world of Inuyasha your favorite Dog Demon. Not to mention you get to meet the rest of the gang, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kagome. Another part in this game is you get to meet your favorite Inuyasha's demon rivals like Naraku and his female reincarnation Kagura. Also I have not gotten that far but Inuyasha's older brother will be showing up in the game too although you don't see him till way later on in the game. And You will run into a few other powerful demons who you will have fun trying to defeat. And also throughout the game you will have some time off on your missions to have one on one time with either Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo which you be able to choose who you want to spend sometime with pretty cool right. Before I end this review I will also say that this game has alot of adventures where you can explore over 30-50 different locations, it as actions, and you can explore many villages, finding out many interesting secrets and interact with the villagers to get clues and the game itself is leveled as normal and for people who want a game that is not difficult to play this is the game to play. I like any level game I mean as long as the game is a fun one right and with good action and adventures . Well this game has all in one. Not to mention it is fun and addictive you wouldn't want to stop playing.

Oh man, I love this game! This was one of my absolute favorites as a kid, I'm so glad to have it back. Game was in near perfect condition, and plays flawlessly. It arrived sooner than I thought it would, I'm so beyond happy with this purchase. 🧡🍥🍜

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.

This game is okay material. The graphics, gameplay, and level up rewards system leave a little something extra desired. The shining star of this game is the genuine Rumiko (true author of the original series) plot. There are a few bits here and there that add to my experience of the manga/anime series so dear to my heart. I'd say get the clearsave file and begin the game a second time- it will be more fun then. You'll finally be able to rip all those great combo attacks you've always longed for in the show and first half of the game. So although this game isn't a star video game classic, it is a must-have for fans of the tv series.
