Ok, so pretty much Okami became my favorite game as soon as i purchased it for the ps2. I did not even think that it could get any better, everything was perfect! However, to my amazement i was wrong. The wii version makes the game even more beautiful and vivid. You feel as if you are actually in control of the wolf. The game allows you to use the celestial brush, like the first, but the wii remote allows it to be so much more effective. If you do not have a steady hand, like some, the game developers added the ability to press Z while painting to make perfectly straight lines. Paired with the amazing graphics, the game also has a great soundtrack to it. So as you watch the cherry blossoms floating through the air, a soft melodious tune will be humming in the background. This game also has a lot of combat to offer as well: the use of the celestial brush, and the different weapons you acquire make for an enjoyable experience. It also has a great storyline which keeps you hooked and having fun for hours. It is a very long and enjoyable rpg. So, overall this game offers so much in the way of enjoyable gameplay, endless hours of exploration and amazingly vivid worlds of painting brought to 3-D. The game is extremely long and even if you just rush through the game it will take over 20 hours. However, you really do not want to do that, the world is so immersive and beautiful that you will want to make it last as long as possible. Take time to explore the world and enjoy the pure beauty of the world. This game is a must buy for not just those who were fans of the last game, but anyone who enjoys a good game with an excellent storyline! Anyone who is a fan of the zelda series, like myself, will enjoy this game just as much or more.
There is no other way to put it... Okami is the greatest game ever made.

I was hesitant about playing Okami at first. The whole drawing stuff on screen was a little weird to me, and the story seemed really strange. I bought it anyways, after reading countless positive reviews saying it was ... Read Full Review
