    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 trouble is doing any sort of action requires using 3 or 4 menus, which is okay in itself, but in InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask, each menu takes twice as long as it needs to, dragging the battles horridly. Combined with a fairly high encounter rate, it seems to take forever to accomplish anything.

    For those with no time or emotional investment in the series, this role-playing game is slower than milkshake moving up a cocktail straw, blander in appearance than most PSOne titles, and has more grating dialogue than a rerun of "The Facts of Life." [Jan 2005, p.125]

    If your a fan of the Inuyasha anime or a fan of turned based RPGs you'll find somme fun in it, but the story never caught my attention and neither did the combat, while it had some good things going for it, it just fell short.… Expand

    I have to be honest I love Inu Yasha and have anjoyed both the anime and the manga for years but this game was disappointing. If you are a real hard core RPG fan than this game isnt for you. The battles are repetitive and the story line is bland. Not to mentioin that there are ALOT of grammatical errors. Basically within an hour you'll be bored out your skull and angry that you spent your money. I do give the game this it HAD promise. The grapics are cute but once again all the towns look alike adding to the feeling that everything is the same. MY over all opinion is dont buy this if youre looking for an inovative RPG. If your a die hard fan of Inu Yahsa you may be able to find entertainment in this game...somewhere....… Expand
