The graphic are primitive but, the game is very cool. I enjoyed playing this game and I think other people besides fans of the show would enjoy it too.

An overall good fighting game

Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale (2003.) A game based on the Inuyasha anime/manga series.

In recent times, I discovered the Inuyasha anime/manga series, and have been nothing short of impressed by it. The series is the brainchild of Rumiko Takahashi, who also created the wildly-popular Ranma 1/2 series. Of course, when any series of any sort gets wildly popular, animes in particular, they get made into video games. Perhaps the most common type of game they get made into is a fighting game. And that's just what happened for Inuyasha. In 2003 in America, Inuyasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale got released in America. Read on for my review of the Playstation One fighting game.

THE GOOD:
The most obvious good trait about this game is that you can play as the main cast from the anime/manga. You start with the classic quintet of Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, but you can unlock other characters from the series, including Sesshomaru and Koga. That's ten-plus characters you can play as, which is pretty good for a Playstation One game. Each character has his or her own special moves, which are accurate to the series. The moves are VERY easy to perform, too, which means newbies will have no trouble pulling them off. The basic control scheme is also fairly convenient, meaning you can pick it up right away. In addition to special attacks, each character has a super special attack they can perform when their super bar is full (does this remind anyone of a little game a few years back called "Street Fighter"?) For instance, Miroku's super move is his signature Wind Tunnel, and Sango will unleashed the transformed Kilala on her foe. To unlock new characters and levels, there is a story mode. By playing through and collection shards of the Sacred Jewel, you can unlock stuff. All these elements make for a gameplay experience sure to please most any Inuyasha fan.

THE BAD:
I'm not going to lie and say that this game is a masterpiece, because it isn't. If you're looking for an innovative, masterful game that is looking to take the fighting game crown left vacant by Street Fighter, you're not going to find it here. Likewise, you're not likely to enjoy the game if you're not an Inuyasha fan. Likewise, the special attack variety for characters could have been better - every character's moves are performed practically the same way, and the lack of complexity in the fighting engine will be a turn-off to some. Another flaw is the graphics and resolution. The resolution is very choppy when the characters move around, and likewise, the graphics look like they belong on the Super Nintendo. I know this is the Playstation ONE and not the Playstation TWO, but still, Bandai could have done so much better with the graphics. My last complaint is with the number of characters. It's not ab bad number by any means, but the fact of the matter is that there are so many cool characters in the show that should have been selectable, including some of the lesser demons the cast battled against (Yuri of the Hair, from early in the series, comes to mind.) Many of these flaws hurt the game, but it's still an overall good experience. Still, unless you're an Inuyasha fan, it won't be worth hunting down the out of print game.

OVERALL:
Overall I'm pretty happy with this game, but I wont deny that it has its share of flaws. If you're looking for an Inuyasha game, you've found it. If you're looking for a devastating masterpiece, look elsewhere. This IS a good game, but in a lot of ways, it's definitely an aquired taste. Keep in mind this is a Playstation ONE game, and my four-star rating is a bit generous (it's relative to similar games from the same era.) If you're an Inuyasha die-hard who wants a fighting game with the characters, buy this. If you're anything less, you may want to wait for Feudal Combat, the Playstation Two fighting game slated for a release later this year.

INUYASHA!!!

Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale is a wonderful game for the InuYasha fan. It's great because if you are a huge fan of the show, it expands the show into another medium in which you become the characters. A warning though, if you don't know what InuYasha is or are mildly interested in the show, do NOT buy this game because you will not enjoy it.
The graphics are surprisingly great for a playstation game. Good detail and the characters look like themselves. Good use of shadow. The graphics don't compare to playstation two, but for playstation, they are great.
On the show one can only watch the characters develop and battle but in this game, you are the characters. You have to earn characters by progressing in the games, but after one has mastered the game you can play InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, Sango, Sesshomaru, Kagura, Totosai, Naraku, and demon InuYasha. I don't believe I left anyone out.
The game has a loose story that isn't in sync with the show, but it is close. There is a story and some animated sequences any die-hard InuYasha fan should see.
There are some drawbacks to the game, though. It is incredibly short and takes less than a day to get all the characters and everything, if you have a four or five hour block to play it. The game also is in Japanese(spoken) but is written in English, some anime fans prefer Japanese, but I do not. It has nothing to do with my attention span or anything, I have come to associate the American voice-over artists with the characters. The game also only has one save slot, so no more than one can save.
I sound rather enthusiastic about this game mostly because I enjoy InuYasha quite a bit. If you have no idea what InuYasha is, don't bother playing this game, because it will be of no value to you, I can not stress that enough.

awesome!

When I first played this game, I thought it would be lame, mostly because it is 2D and I usually hate 2D games, but was I wrong! The voices are Japanese, but there're subtitles that explain what the characters are saying. The battle sequences are great too! It's really smooth and the attacks are consistent with the actual show. The game has all the main characters except Myoga because he runs away whenever there's trouble. I like Youkai Inuyasha. (the complete demon form of him) I like the Windscar attack. Well, anyway, this game is one-and two-player, so you can fight human on human, human on comp., and tag team matches. It is one of the best games I've ever played, and if your an Inuyasha fanatic like me * :) * this game is definitely for you!

Inuyasha is the best game!

If you like Inuyahsa the show then you will definetly like the game. It jas everything you could want in a good game. Greta graphics, music, animation, and fighting. You can't forget about the fighting. Who wouldn't like a game where you get to play as you favorite Inuyasha characters and beat people up. It's the best and if you never played it yet you should.

Cool game!

this is a must-have for any Inuyasha fan. The graphics are so-so, but the game is a lot of fun. The voices are in Japanese, so it is much more authentic. The subtitles are surprisingly accurate and the game is definetly worth buying.

Please help!!!

This game is like the show....the single greatest thing ever created by man! The game may be a little bit easy but you can always change the difficulty level to your preference. The game starts off with the captions in English and the characters voices in JAPANESE! I believe as the game progresses and you open the "Kagome's Backpack" feature you can change the voices to English. I love when games look arcade style so I instantly fell in love with the game. Especially considering the fact there aren't very many games anymore with the arcade style graphics. Dont get me wrong, new graphics are better and it probably would inhance the game quality, arcade style just seems to suit this game perfectly. This game will keep you amused for hours. If you are an Inuyasha fan, this is a MUST HAVE. Even if you aren't and you're just a gamer looking for a new entertaining game to play, buy this one. You won't regret it. Let me just note to PS2 owners: Don't make the same mistake I did. You must have a Playstation memory card to save this game. I didnt have one so I could save my game for a while....At any rate, go out and by this game!
