Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask

 
Gameplay:
It plays like any other RPG game there a timing gauge in the upper right corner that tells you who trun its. you play as all 6 charaters at once you don't just play as 3 or 4 like in other rpgs. There a 3 types of techniques normal, special and co-op.  Normal techniques are weak but they do not take up spirtual energy they are better than just attacking but if you use them to much it takes longer for a character trun to come up.  Special techniques take up energy but are more powerful you get energy by attacking normaly or by geting hit and some times when you heal you charater. Co-op techs are when to charaters work together to do a move these are some of the must powerful moves in the game.  In order to get co-op techs you have to get friendship points. at some points in the game you take the day off than you have to pick witch charater you want to spend time with this is how you get friendship points.when you do a co-op move theres a cool anime cutseen. I think all together there are 27 of them. One of the things I did not like about the game was luck system there is paradise, rely, mediocre, up and down and hardship. Depending on what one you get it makes it harder and easier to fight.

Overall the gameplay is okay and easy.  You should be able to lrean in it three to ten minutes tops if you don't play RPGs a lot.

Graphics and Sound:
Now don't let the graphics stop you from playing this game remember don't judge a book by its cover.  The graphics have an anime look its okay. I like it, some of you may not like it though.  The sound is okay it's your average RPG sound and music its not bad, but it's not great.

Story:
The story is good just think of it as a long inuyasha episode.  They have a different ending depending on witch character you spend the most time with, so the game as some replay value.  Also there are some side missions that are optional.  Also, there are random events that pop up some times, but if more than one pops up, you can only go to one so that adds more replay value to the game.

Some of the things I did not like about the game was it was to easy and short, but there is a lot of replay value in the game. If you never watch inuyasha it's still an okay game.  You don't have to watch the show to play the game, but it sure helps

I give this game a 7.5 out 10
