    This game is awesome. I spend hours playing it, the only problem is the mini games. I can never seem to win them! And, to unlock the last two characters, you have to defeat all the mini games. It's still a pretty cool game, tho...

    I think this game was cool but needs some help i draged myself around for weeks looking for it.if it had better grafics ,camera control ,better story line, and maybe more to do i would love it other wise its just a game i beat in less than 24 hours/4 days but otherwise i liked it but give me kohaku.

    I have to say even though it wasn't horrible it wasn't the most fun to play. The fighting system was very simplistic. Good for fans but people not familiar to the series will want to stay clear.

    This game is so cool, yet I still think the series and the comics are loads of fun to watch and read, but the game is rated A and 10 because I just love the graphics and the fun in this game!

    NO, I give this game a 10 out of 10... but someone said something about a new Inuyasha game comming out in September of 2004... truth is, it comes out in November, so noone get your hopes up about a fast Debut.

    I would like to give it a 10...but the graphics were a little sketchy, it could have been longer, and I personally like the english voices better. Other then that, it was awesome. All the characters were there, well almost all. It stayed with the story line and was a kick ass game.

    I think this was a awesome ps1 game but the 2d on this game could be made into a 3d RPG for the PS2. The game would serriously rock if it had more blood and graphics in it. Also the entire story line.

    This game has a huge affect on 2d game play. As a fan of inuyasha I believe that many people will have fun playing this game Hint: Next time dont make it a 2d fighter. An RPG for PS2 would be an inprovement from the 2d fighter genre.

    Well I'm a big fan of the show and manga (manga means Japanese comics.) So I absolutly had to try out the game! I have to be a critic here so bear with me other Inu fans. The graphics were unclear and the game wasn't near long enough and the mini games were hard and sort of pathetic (Inu smashing his beautiful Tetsaiga on a rock! Come on people!) It also would have helped if Well I'm a big fan of the show and manga (manga means Japanese comics.) So I absolutly had to try out the game! I have to be a critic here so bear with me other Inu fans. The graphics were unclear and the game wasn't near long enough and the mini games were hard and sort of pathetic (Inu smashing his beautiful Tetsaiga on a rock! Come on people!) It also would have helped if they would have dubbed it. (Even though I'm glad to hear the origional Japanese voices.) Then the fighing was just smash any buttons and you'd attack. Not for people used to pressing 10 buttons in 2 seconds and liking it. (But who doesn't like being a lazy butt?) You can also get trapped in the cornor by the computer kicking your butt or a mercilious friend beating the living crap out of you. Also non-fans of the show who just picked up the game for the heck of it probably won't understand what the whole "Inuyasha will you die with me" part. Yes that would freak me out too. Now for the good points! The game kept right to the anime and manga, they used the voices that were from the show in Japan, there are lots of pictures, little music clips, and in Dream Fairytale Mode you can make practically anyone be on the same team! (For fans that means Sesshomaru and Inuyasha vs. Naraku and Shippo!) Then you can practicly attack with any button as I've said before which is Fun! Now I've probably bored you all which is amusing for me and well...boring for you. I give this game a 9 out of 10. Expand

    At first I was really excited about getting the game and that made the game lots of fun but after a while it got really boring....It wasn't what I expected and I like Evil Zone bunches better.

Holy crap, he's the best but back to my point...I live in canada and I cvan't find it any where for a good price, i can't rent it seeing how no video stores have it!!! the people ask way to much of it.

    I luv evry single shows and games of inuyasha, the game was great, good fighters, and good adventures, ive alredy defeated the whole game, too easy but it does kinda look lik an old street fighter game, so hopefully it'll be much more animated in PS2!

  1. InuYasha may not be able to compete with the big boys of the fighting genre, but fans of quirky anime games or those looking for a budget fighter won't be disappointed.
  2. Packs enough personality and otaku-friendly sights/sounds to compensate somewhat for its mindless, button-mashing gameplay.
  3. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    A bland-looking, simplistic fighting game. Inuyasha's button-mash gameplay feels stiff and dry, so even Versus matches aren't likely to hold your interest for long. [May 2003, p.136]
