Hello, my name is Charles and I’m here to review Inuyasha: Secret of the Cursed Mask for the PlayStation 2. This game was first released on March 18, 2004.
In this game, the main protagonist you play will either be a boy or a girl, per your choice. In this game, you somehow end up being transported from the storehouse at your family’s shrine in modern Tokyo all the way back to feudal Japan. Once there, you team up with Inuyasha and his friends as you try to find a way back to your era, as well as to unlock the mysteries behind your newfound, cosmic powers called Shikigami.
The protagonists in this game are:
- Michiru Kururugi: Male/Kaname Kururugi: Female (Main Protagonist)(Human)(Power: Shikigami);
- Inuyasha: Male (A Hanyo – Translation: Half-Demon)(Weapons: Claws/Sword-Tetsusaiga);
- Kagome Higurashi: Female (Human)(Weapons: Spiritual Powers/Bow & Arrows);
- Shippo: Male (Fox Demon Child)(Weapon: Fox Magic/Transformation Abilities);
- Miroku: Male (Human/Monk)(Weapons: Staff/Sacred Sutras/Wind Tunnel-A Cursed Power imbedded in his Right Hand);
- Sango: Female (Human/Demon Slayer)(Weapons: Sword/A Giant Boomerang called Hiraikotsu); and
- Sesshomaru: Male (Dog Demon/Inuyasha’s Older Step-Brother)(Weapons: Claws/Swords-Tenseiga and Tokijin).
The antagonists in this game are:
- Naraku: Male (Demon),
- Kagura: Female (Demon/Wind Sorceress),
- Kanna: Female (Demon/Kagura’s Little Sister)
- Kohaku: Male (Human/Sango’s Little Brother/Demon Slayer),
- Koga: Male (Wolf Demon/Inuyasha’s Rival),
- Utsugi: Male/Female (Main Antagonist)
In conclusion, I found this to be one of the best Role Playing Games that I ever played. The story line was very interesting and kept me involved in the game. I would strongly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of all things anime.
