    It's a really good game. While it's in chibi format, and it seems the battles never end, it really does follow a nice plot. And besides the mystery of where Miroku and Sango are at the beginning, along with subtitles at the bottom of the screen they actually dubbed this game with the English voices. It's all good. Might just get a little annoying with all the battles and It's a really good game. While it's in chibi format, and it seems the battles never end, it really does follow a nice plot.

    I Simply Love It!!!!! Although the game doesn't have as spectacular graphics as games like the FF series, it still is a major improvement from the Playstation One game: A Feudal Fairy Tale. I?m not that far into the game, but I?m already hooked!!! I happen to be a die-hard fan and so far with the original voice actors (including the new boy and girl), and the 30 minute anime scenes I Simply Love It!!!!!

Anyone who happens to come across this game should at least check it out!!!! You won?t be sorry!!!! ^-^… Expand

    This game in my eyes is WELL worth your money. It really drew me in, and everyday coming home from school I'd rush to play it. Though that could perhaps be my fangirl side speaking, aren't we all fangirls inside? After finishing (Which the ending was a bit sad ;_;) I had fallen inlove with the anime all over again. Must have.

    This game may have not been the best, but it was cute and even pretty fun. I love inuyasha, and the game was nothing compared to it...but even though i hated the character i was, i liked the rpg idea...and sometimes you got to pick what you wanted to do, and hang out with people. All in all it has its ups- the anime footage, the cute scenes, and everyones voice acting cept for the This game may have not been the best, but it was cute and even pretty fun.

    If you're looking for the hottest new RPG with the flashiest graphics and some newfangled game mechanics, you'll probably be a bit disappointed. But if you're into the anime and want something that's guaranteed to have you playing well into the wee hours, this game is going to be smiling and waving at you the next time you're at your favorite game shop.

    The game itself employs a number of horrible, tired RPG conventions and a budget presentation, making it difficult to recommend to even the most fervent of fans.
