Having never owned a PS2, I had not ever played this game before. I certainly heard the critical acclaim that this game has received over the last couple of years, and was stoked to say the least about hearing its arrival on the Wii. I bought it for my 8 year old daughter, and have been fighting for time on this game ever since. She loves it. I love it. I am impressed with the depth and the intensity of the story. The Wii remote works perfectly with this game. I had reservations about how my daughter would pick up the "strokes" and movements in the game, but she hasn't missed a beat. This game cannot be described accurately in words. It's just beautiful. Stylized animation, a great story, along with a unique style of combat, using gestures and strokes of a giant brush, make for a gaming experience that I have fell in love with. These games do not come out very often. A joy to play.

My absolute favorite game.

I can't say enough good things about this game. The game universe is huge. The whole game looks like a japanese painting, which is not only beautiful, but a nice change from other games. The characters are numerous. Using the Wii remote to control the brush is probably the best part of the game. The more you play, the more adept you become at using specific brush strokes. I particularly like the different enemies you fight, which are based on japanese folklore.

Best Game Out There

When trying to describe the game Okami, several words come to mind....Delightful....Charming....Lovely....Interesting. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that "fun" and "cool" simply don't seem to cut-it even though those words easily apply as well. I won't go into plot and storyline since many of the other reviews have done an excellent job in detailing. Instead I'd like to tell you why I feel Okami is a must-have game. For those gamers like me who love puzzle and adventure games, Okami is a feast for the soul! Beautiful graphics, charming and witty characters, and plenty of difficult quests to accomplish plus awesome use of the Wii Remote-- This is what you get right from the start. And just when you think the game can't top itself, something mind-blowing happens--Something so unique and imaginative....well....words just fail to describe it. To compare Okami with other games out there is like comparing a fast-food meal off the dollar menu with a three-course meal at a gourmet restaurant. Except that with Okami, you aren't going to pay "gourmet" price because unlike other games, Okami is a great value! Basically, what it all comes down to is that Okami is extremely satisfying in pretty much every way....and if you STILL don't believe me, there's nothing else I can say except-- Give it a try! I promise, you will not be sorry.

A work of art

First off, I believe this is the same 'game play' as the PS2 version. However, the controls are done perfectly for the Wii. To call it a port is not doing this version of Okami justice.

It is a gorgeous game where you, as a japanese god in the form of a wolf/dog, are bringing beauty and life back to feudal Japan after a demon was set loose and mucked everything up. If you are familiar with the shinto pantheon, many of the names and characters will be familiar.

The game play is reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and if you enjoy Zelda games, this is definitely the game to pick up, especially at this price.

Great game!

Had a lot of fun with this. Highly recommended, great dialog, lots of care was taken in making the interactions with other characters and the environment entertaining. Beautifully rendered. Would recommend most for Legend of Zelda fans, people who like a good story+characters, and interesting artwork. Not recommended for people who like voice-acting, of which this game has none. Also, not a very challenging game (I could say the same for the recent Zelda games, though.)

Fantastic!

I read lots of reviews before I pick up a game and this was no exception. Okami is a port from the original PS2 version and there really haven't been any additions as far as content goes since then. However, this game is monsterously long and is in no need of additional content. It's a beautiful game that is very stylised; it has more or less drawn or painted graphics and this sets the game apart from anything else previous to it. The Wii version of the game has one draw back however, one control of one fairly insignificant ability is works 25% of the time at best. It's not required to even get this ability in the game but it would be nice to have. Everything else is superior to the PS2 version in my opinion. This is a great game reguardless of which edition you get but Wii has my vote. If you enjoy games like Zelda this you'll enjoy this game.

Better than Zelda

If you had to decide between this or the Zelda game on the Wii, this game should be the choice. Sure, the controls are a bit clunky at first, but once you get down the controls this game is actually quite fun. You run, jump, paint, battle, and the like, but you'll enjoy the story and humor the most.

play this game!

I plaied this on My PS2 and I loved it then it's even better with the Wii! It's easier to do some of the quest on the Wii compared to the PS2, but it was easier to do some of the attacks with the PS2 witch is the only problem I had. Over all the Game is just beautiful with the old Ukyo style art work and it's nice to have them talk and yet not talk, it's kinda a beeping noise witch isn't as annoying as you'd think it would be. All together the story is beautiful and the art work is different and a welcome change. I say if your looking for a fun different game to play this is it! Play it! Love it! Play it again!

Okami Port is not to be missed

After missing out on the PS2 version, I am very glad to have gotten a hold of the Wii release. It is a fantastic game that will appeal to RPG fans of Zeldaish titles and even regular adventure game fans. Playing the game for the art style alone is more than enough reason, comparable to REZ for its art innovation. Grab it if you are a long time gamer or just looking for something easy on the eyes.

beautiful and engaging
