As you can see by the great score i gave Okami you can tell i really enjoyed this game. It was 2006 game of the year for ign and brought back in 2007 for the nintendo wii, the only difference is the controls. In the wii version you use the wii mote to paint as in the Ps2 version you use the analog sticks. The graphics are beautiful really attracted me towards this game, it is cel shaded with a great storyline. To put it short you are a Wolf God named Amaterasu, you are trying to cleanse the world of darkness and are accompanied by a little flea named Issun. The experience is very similar to a Zelda Adventure using elements of Puzzle and action. The combat is very intuitive and causes you to paint certain designs to do special moves towards the enemy or you ccan swing your shield(Or sword depending how far into the agme you are) at the enemy, when you ingage into a battle you are enclosed in a small area(Unless its a boss fight). It is a very lengthy experience, but once you finish this game you will be begging for more. There are various bosses in the game to keep you busy. The only part of this game that is a bit disappointing is that in a segment of the game you ravel to the past and you really feel like you have been here done that before type of feel. But other than that this is a great game in the action adventure puzzle genre (With a bit of comedy thrown in) that i highly recommend to all you Zelda fans or just fans of the genre.
