Okami

Hello. I recently purchased Okami on the wii to see what all of the buzz was about. It's one of those games that you never really hear about but all of the reviews everywhere are through the roof. (In fact, when I purchased the game at Gamestop, the guy who worked there showed me he had Okami tatooed on his arm. Ha ha). Anyway, after playing it for only about an hour or so I can easily see why the ratings are so high. It really is a great game and it is very......artistic I guess you would say.

The only bad reviews that I saw were by people who were annoyed by the celestial brush requiring you to be so specific with your strokes or it would not register. I did find some of this even in the short time that I have played so far. While it is kind of annoying, I do not find it annoying enough to lower my review or rating of the game. What does everyone else think about that?

Okami no doubt is one of the best games on the Wii. Definitely in the top 5. The controls can get in the way but doesn't really ruin the game too much, only enough to knock off around 5% maximum for me. in short Nintendo got F'd in the A by Capcom on their own consolejustxtremekilla

I almost agree. Capcom isn't really F'ing Nintendo but are giving them a run for their money. No More Heroes is the kind of game you would think we'd see more of but nintendo continues to sleep while money pours in so they don't actually do anything. The issue with capcom is that they are mostly releasing excellent ports (RE games, Okami) so it isn't actually new stuff or a remake.

I played it on PS2, controls are very very easy. :)

Okami is already one of the best games ever! :D

I've heard that making Amaterasu dodge is problematic with the Wiimote, as opposed to the DualShock2. Most people seem to ignore this issue, since dodging isn't necessary, but I personally like dodging. The PS2 version controls better because of this issue, though some people do happen to like motion control for the brush better than dual analog. I've never tried it and dual analog is fine, so I view the PS2 version as superior. Also, waggling the remote to attack doesn't work as well for one or two types of weapons as it does in the PS2 version.

As for the credits... it's not just that Clover isn't in them, but there supposedly aren't any credits at all! I guess because Clover's symbol was in the background and couldn't be removed or something....:? Hopefully the song that plays during the credits on the PS2 version wasn't removed in the song selection.

Additionally, the epilogue is missing in the Wii version. It's not too important, but it's a nice ending, and it gives you a piece of information that some people may not pick up on during the course of the game.

In my personal opinion, Okami is better played on the PS2 than on the Wii. The controls really aren't graet, and the Wii makes the game look muddy and clouded is you're playing on an HDTV.

It stretches the resolution something awful.
