Okami is a beautiful game it just looks awesome. Plus you can't go past being a wolf in any game especially one with a paint brush! This game can be a bit repetitive especially if you get your brush strokes wrong but I still find that it is quite fun to play and is aesthetically pleasing to watch.

Okami is a great PS2 (and now Wii) game by Capcom which tells an interesting tale in the and art of ancient Japan. The whole game itself is set within this mood, and it is a very harmonious and captivating game. It plays like an adventure type game, and has also been seen as an RPG. Either way, is is a great, long experience that many people should explore. It has a soothing audio score, but doesn't have any voice acting; all the cutscenes and character conversations are text based. It doesn't bother me since I like to read, but added voice acting could have been implemented. All the same, the sound for the game is really good. The gameplay focuses on exploring, and combat, and using a paint brush. This, celestial brush, is used to attack enemies, turn night to day, solve puzzles, and make the lives of the inhabitants of Okami easier. This crucial gameplay element is very clever, and blends in seamlessly into the game. The graphics are very pretty, as the whole game looks like a painting canvas, or a work of art. Both the PS2 version and Wii version have nice, colorful art and animations, but I feel that the PS2 version has a more intended as it looks a little washed out, but seems to fit in well. You explore the over world, traverse dungeons, equip weapons and learn abilities for the wolf you control. As a four legged creature, you can expect to dig to find items, use speed to your advantage, and bite your enemies. You can even pee on them, once you learn the right moves! The game is a joy to play through, and could keep you busy for a while. And is one great game that more should appreciate.

Gawd, that was great! Okami has became most favorite on my action games list, right next to Small Arms and Tekken. It started out just one more dead fantasy, when started to grow on me. I can't seem to stand it, being so good. And it gets pretty dang funny. If fighting funny fantasy's are for you, you'd be crazy not giving this guy a whirl.
Not doing Okami is like eating flavorless food. If you don't even stop to look at it, head you're self over to the psychiatrist. Action has stored itself in a box with a wolf on it. If they make an Okami 2, I am running to Gamestop and buying it, no matter how much it costs! And it's gotta be pretty good for me to like it, I'm kinda picky.
Get Okami. Now question about it, don't rent, buy. Get it used, even. Anything. If somebody asked me to play Halo or Okami, it's Okami. Seriously. So, do I have you hooked on Okami? Wanna rush out and buy it? Seriously, I was hooked on it after 30 minutes. So, with Okami, No questions about. NOW!

Okami was my favorite game of 2006...unfortunately, not many people seemed interested in it. For shame.

refund please. this game is too pricey. Plus who really paints with a wiimote. 100 characters is so long.
