Genius. Okami doesn't resemble WW in any way except for the Zelda-like gameplay imo.

Artistic genius, but do not look at it as a cel shaded game, because that isn't the style that they were going for. They were trying to imitate a specific art style (I think it's called Japanese wood block art or something like that, it slips the mind so don't quote me on that).

hmmm there's a new look at an old game. I'd definitely say it's Artistic Genius but the style of graphics I can see why someone would call it a wannabe, but the games are way to different in feel to compare. Maybe if Twilight princess had taken the same graphics style as cell prism then I could see this forum having a more viable arguement due to the gameplay as wolf link.

The style the game portrays is hundreds if not, thousand years old. That's not genius. But its a beautiful game, too bad will be ruined on the Wii. . .

Thats why they call them genre's. Because the same layouts get used over and over.Sure Okami plays just like some zelda games but those same zelda games play like other games and those play just like others and so on. Okami is its own game and its own great story. You would be stupid to say that Okami is just a zelda rip off, dont play it. I think people just over react when they constantly see how this game is like zelda. I dont think people are saying that as a bad thing. They are saying wow this game rocks just as much as zelda.

Okami is very original IMO. No game is similar to Okami.

Okami's run basic gameplay concept is like Zelda, but it's execution was original and excellent. I absolutely loved the end boss fights and my only complaint would be that the story could have been better. There's too much exposition.

Wind Waker is different than Okami. Wind Waker is a childish like drawing done in Cell-shading technology.

Okami is Japanese ink drawing done in Cell-shading.

In terms of artistic style, Zelda: WW is ages away from Okami.
