Okami....is it really as good as the hype?

This is one game for the PS2 that I still have not played, as it just seemed so out of the ordinary that I never took a chance on it. Lately I have been reading a bit more about it, and became intrigued enough that I placed an order for it, as I just have to see what all the hype is about. And I surely do not want to miss out on it if it is indeed so great.

So my questions to those who have played it are, is the game really as great as the hype. And how is the backward compatibility on the PS3 for this title?

Thanks

In a word: yes.

Okami is one of the most beautiful games ever made. Beyond its beauty is contained a phenomenal story which is rooted in the shinto religious mythology of all things. Beyond its beauty and story is a world where so many different things are possible thru the celestial brush, which is one of the best gameplay inventions of all time. Beyond its beauty and story and gameplay it also has some challenging unique boss fights. Beyond its beauty and story and gameplay and boss fights it has some of the most amazing music Ive ever heard.

Few games are amazing on so many levels.

As far as ps3 compatability I have no idea though.

yeah, Okami is great.

it works on a 60GB PS3, I know that.

I love this game its one of the best games for the PS2

it is very easy though.

i just got it a few weaks ago and it is so great

i am 15 hrs in and i have found the paint brush to be a great attachtment

gameplay is mostly easy when it comes to combat but it has some real brain-busting puzels

overall, i have found it to be very fun, but not much of a challege

i'm just wondering, how long does the main quest take to beat?Ms_Lockheart

Oh! Okami is one of my favorite games. And I'm picky when it comes to picking favorites.

Seriously. It's as good as the hype says and more. Not only is it gorgeous, it's unique and interesting. i suggest getting it before it disappears forever.

Yes! Okami is one of the best PS2 games! IMO it is better than those big games such as FF series, MGS series, GoW 1 and 2, GTA series, etc.
