I am shocked how horrible this game is. Not only do you have to unlock everything within the game from the start save for Kagomi and Inuyasha, but you also have to go through this odd single player campaign where you see very butchered recap stories of the entire anime. The game gives super flimsy excuses for fighting people, and overall just isn't interested in giving any kind of extra content that a player might like. Literally everything here is something either super generic, or previously said. Nothing about this game's story or premise is exciting or entertaining either. At it's best, it gives you compressed jpeg pictures of photos that probably took 5 minutes to load on the internet at the time, and at it's worst it's a withholding mini-game riddled mess. I literally just wanted to play a nice fighting game featuring Kagome and the gang, and the game ACTIVELY prevents that.Even getting into the actual fighting aspects of the game is meddling, with the actual mechanics of the game boarding around surprisingly simple execution, and horrid stilted combat. Combos do not feel fluid, and the game does not reward you for performing any of them. Super attacks come out very slow, and can slow down the entire fight. Spamming is optimal and easy, and in the end it really comes down to who in the cast can spam better, and why is Koga?Somewhere in this game is a neat mechanic with the jewel system the game offers, but it's slowed down at every turn from being something more than just poorly managed merchandise. In a lot of ways, it feels like they were trying to great something fun and exciting till corporate told them it's due in a month after the 1st week of working on it. I do not recommend this game to anyone, not even the fans of the series. There are far better games out there, and probably a better fighting game too.

Played on PlayStation. Gameplay: GREAT. Story: GOOD. Graphic: GOOD. Music/Sound: GREAT. Dialogue: GOOD.
