InuYasha comes to North American PlayStation 2 consoles in the form of this RPG. The animated series involves the story of a schoolgirl named Kagome, who falls down a well and is magically transported to feudal Japan, where she meets her rival/companion/love-interest Inuyasha, a dog-like half-demon boy.
Together, the two go on adventures to recover the scattered pieces of an ancient, shattered artifact. In The Secret of the Cursed Mask, players take the role of one of two new characters (created especially for the game by anime artist Rumiko Takahashi) who have been sent back in time just like Kagome. They'll make friends and enemies in the legendary lands of InuYasha, and these relationships will have great influence over their ultimate quest to return to the present-day world.
Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask is based on an anime series of the same name. You can play either as a teenager boy or a teenager girl, named by the player. The two scenarios are very similar and basically follow the same story: you live in modern-day Tokyo and one day discover a strange symbol in an old storehouse. As a result, you are transported to medieval Japan. You encounter the half-demon Inuyasha, who introduces you to Kagome Higurashi, the heroine of the anime series. Together you embark on a journey to retrieve scattered pieces of the Sacred Jewel and to find a way to get back home.
This is a fairly traditional Japanese-style RPG with random encounters and turn-based combat viewed from over-the-shoulder perspective. You can attack physically, use special techniques, and power up to combo attacks with multiple characters.
