The PS2 Last Shining Star

User Rating: 10 | Okami (French) PS2

With all this talk of next-gen and who's graphics are better it's nice and surprising to see the best looking game in the history of video games come out on the PS2. Yup that's right Okami is THE BEST looking game I have every seen...including all the next gen games. When you turn this on you'll say WOW! What an AMAZING game! The graphics are stunning...nothing and I mean absolutely nothing is wrong. Now if graphics were all this game wouldn't have gotten a 10 so here's the rest. You are Amateratsu Omikami the god of pretty much all that's good. But after your 100-year slumber after beating Orochi( the god of everything evil)
she lost most of her powers. As you progress through the game you get new powers, weapons, and fighting skills. The story is good, really good.
It's funny at the right places and you'll never forget the characters you encounter.

The gameplay is solid. There is a machanic in the game called the "Celestial Brush" which lets you use powers to change the world around you. Helping people and getting to new places are a few of the things they're used for. Speaking of the world it's big and I mean BIG. You'll find moving around is fun and refreshing and you never feel like your just walking you feel like your moving around in your world at the perfect pace.
There are floating talasmins in the world and when you touch them you enter a battle. You can use your weapons as well as your brush in battles. Fighting is fun and satisfying. You can learn new moves at the Dojo and get new weapons from merchants and as you progress through the story. There are no voiceovers in the game but the scenes are cool and if you can read the script is good and might not tire you out so fast. The music goes with the game and is great to boot.

I'd tell anyone who owns a PS2 to buy this game. But if your not sure rent it at the very least. Cheers.
