 Just Buy It! July 5, 2008

Okami is one of the most unique, interesting, exciting, cultural, and revolutionary games to hit the shelves.
Graphics- Wow. Japanese art really brings this game to life in 3D. The colors are bright and vivid. There are almost no glitches and the characters look great. Throughout the whole game you will never forget that you are in Japan.
Gameplay- Hmm... where to start. It has the familiar and welcome formula as the Zelda games, but once again, the game turns it into something of it's own. You are in a huge Japanese world called Nippon and must restore the areas that are cursed by evil ( a bit like the Twilight Zones in Zeldas, except you can't go in them). This can be done by making Guardian Saplings bloom with your Celestial Brush. The brush is a powerful tool that freezes the game so you can draw stuff that help you fight enemies or do whatever you have to do. You have to play it to see what I'm talking about. With the brush you can do things such as turn day into night or the other way around, draw a bomb, create a stream, or make a gust of wind. The power of nature is in your hands! The Celestial brush has 13 handy techniques. They help you get through dungeons. The dungeons are nice because they aren't too long, yet aren't too short. In games like Zelda, the dungeons were way too long.
Sound- Beautiful Japanese music plays in the background. When you speak to other creatures, there voice sounds like Animal Crossing voices.
Plot- The plot is my favorite out of any game I've ever played. The story is based on a real Japanese legend, making it very interesting. There are many cutscenes that make you excited to go to the next area/dungeon. The plot can't be described in only a few sentences, so you can figure it out for your self. There's a cool twist at the end!
To sum it up, Okami is an outstanding game that anyone shoud at least rent. it is very similar to Zelda, so if you love Zelda you'll also fall in love with Okami. It is a perfect blend of all elements that a game should have. Parents, ignore the teen rating and just buy it for your kids. It is very educational. There is a lot of alcohol reference, but the sake they drink is just pretend. Just Buy it!
 Very engrossing game overall June 24, 2008

- very good, imaginative game
- actually got easier to play later in the game because of Ammy's new powers
- dialogue too long but important to story
- spent 50 hours to finish game and read the story w/o skipping
- probably minimal replay value once you finish it
Okami is a great game for the wii June 22, 2008

So different from the thousands of RPG hunt-and-fight games with a beautiful hand-drawn art style. It gets a lot of play at my house along with Zelda and sports (tennis).
It's good, man. June 20, 2008

Too many people stop after the into cut scenes. They suck, whatever. The gameplay picks up after you get far enough that it decides you're no longer a complete newbie, and the game's actually quite epic.
The visuals seem blurry and smudgy and thus hard to read for most of the game, but there are certain points, especially within cut-scenes where you get to see something so beautiful that you realize why they render everything the way they do.
Painting is the hardest thing to get used to. Don't make my mistake: quick strokes work, slow strokes NEVER work, and it's really bad at telling you why your strokes don't work.

Awesome. A Great RPG and great use of the Wii mote. If you like Zelda it will feel real good.
