Inuyasha Secret of the Divine Jewel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a huge fan of the Inuyasha series and when I found out that there was an RPG of the storyline, I immediately went out and bought a brand new Nintendo DS (because I didn't have one to begin with) and went on a search for the game itself. After hitting three stores, I finally found it and on sale! Not to put down Amazon, I buy most of all my media online, but I wanted this right away versus waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
Anyway, I haven't been able to put down this game since I bought it. I'll spare you the story recap as the other reviews do a good job of explaining that part, but in terms of the pros and cons in my opinion:
PROS:
- Excellent storyline and twists - The game keeps you guessing the whole time. Just when you think it's going to wrap up they throw you another curve ball and you're right back to guessing what to do next.
- Graphics and likeness to characters is impeccable!!
- All the powers and special abilities in the series are used throughout the game and some new ones are introduced too!!
CONS:
- The intro to the game does take a long time, but I like to think that it's needed as set-up for the story and it helps you get used to how the game works.
- There are far too many demon encounters, but just like the series, demons always attack in droves and sometimes the heroes have to run away. Either way, the many battles help you build up money and xPoints.
- The instruction booklet doesn't explain each characters individual powers or all of the many items you pick up along the way. Sure, some of the powers you know from the series, but new ones aren't exactly explained and some items don't seem to do anything but take up room in your characters inventory.
Overall, if you are an Inuyasha fan, I would highly recommend this purchase, but try and find it on sale. No one should have to pay over $30 for any video game.
