About two years ago, a title was released with all the trappings of a Nintendo classic – voiceless hero, quirky storyline, and a color pallet that went well beyond forest green. As much as fans of Nintendo franchises ranted and raved about this title, n

Okami kicked ass on the PS2. Incredible graphics, facinating world, fun, memorable characters and very unique gameplay. It did, however, have the unfortunate luck of being on the PS2. Not a bad platform, by any stretch, but clearly not a platform

During the eighteen months since Okami's original release, nothing else has turned up that makes us admire it any less - not even Nintendo's own Twilight Princess comes close to the astonishing cohesion of form and content, style and substance, that

The original Okami for PS2 is one of my very favorite games -- a stunning achievement in both artistry and entertainment. And it's still the same beautifully told, endlessly creative, epic adventure that I immersed myself in two falls ago. While the Wii

Okami is about as close to perfect as a game can get these days. With innovative gameplay, gorgeous visuals, an enjoyable take on Japanese folklore, and a breathtaking musical score, Okami is uniquely traditional. Most players can expect to spend around

In Okami, you play as a wolf who is actually the reincarnation of the goddess Amaterasu. The story and characters in this game all relate to Japanese mythology in some way, but don't expect this to be a storybook that will teach you about the real myths.

The original Okami is a stone cold classic in my book, right up there with any game of the last generation. However, its classical Japanese themes and gorgeous hand-painted graphics failed to strike a chord with gamers when it was released in 2006 on the

But these are minor quibbles. The truth is, Okami is an amazing adventure and a true must-play, regardless of which system you try it on. Do I prefer the PS2 version? Yes. That doesn’t change the fact that Okami on Wii is more dramatic, engaging,

Every so often you see lists pop up online chronicling history’s greatest underappreciated games, and there are a few titles that are consistently included: Psychonauts, Ico, and Beyond Good and Evil just to name a few. No list of this type would

It’s been nearly two years since Clover Studio’s swan song, Okami, was released on the PlayStation 2. Hailed for its unique one-of-a-kind art direction, expansive storyline, and thought-provoking paint brush mechanic, it received more than its share o

There's a blissful moment in the first hour of Okami, one that is repeated several times throughout the game's epic tale: Tasked with restoring an afflicted sapling to its former beauty, you bring it to life with a swirl of your virtual paintbrush. The

When Okami came out on the PS2 back in 2006, it was showered with great reviews and end-of-year awards. However, even though it’s recognized as a critical darling now, when you stop and think about

Forget that Okami is nearly two years old. Forget that the ridiculously epic adventure, inspired by the Zelda franchise, was originally developed for PlayStation 2 and meant to be played with an analog stick. And forget anything Capcom ever said about

It's the rare game that can be ported to a new system two years after its original release, nearly pixel for pixel, and yet still feel like a fresh new experience, but "Okami" is just such a game, thanks to an excellent implementation of the Wii

When Okami debuted in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, we couldn't help but get caught up in its beauty. This work of genius, from the now-shuttered Clover Studios, introduced an innovative new play technique that let you interact with your surroundings via a

I don’t think the game is worth picking up for people who have already purchased it for the PlayStation 2 when it was originally released a few years ago, but the game is a definite purchase for any Wii owners. At a length of around 30 hours the game ha

What Clover has created is nothing short of a gaming masterpiece, and while it doesn't come close to the upper pantheon of "The Legend of Zelda" titles, it certainly is in the same league as other "Zelda" titles, even better then some of them. For all

Overall, Okami is an excellent game. The action/adventure genre is at the top of its game with this one. Anyone who likes Zelda or likes adventure games owe it to themselves to pick this one up. It can't be recommended enough.

During the fall of 2006, Capcom released the Clover Studios-developed Okami on PlayStation 2. The adventure title puts you in control of a goddess wolf named Amaterasu, who embarks upon an epic adventure to save the land of Nippon from great evil.

In closing, Okami is a must-have title for anyone who has ever loved a Zelda game, a Clover Studio game, or any time-intensive 3D adventure game. The only people I would advise against buying Okami are those on the extreme left or extreme right of the

Much like Super Mario Galaxy last November, Okami will have you doing a huge variety of things beyond just fighting. But the things you will do are much different, too, and nothing like other games. The biggest similarity I could draw is to the Zelda

In 2006 Clover Studios, the same group that brought Viewtiful Joe to the Playstation 2, came up with the ever-colorful, stylistic, calligraphic title of Okami. Shortly following the game’s PS2 debut, however, the studio shut its doors; but Okami’s sto

Fortunately, the annoyance of the controls is reduced somewhat by several factors, including forgiving some elements with respect to control, not to mention the speed the Wii remote’s IR allows. Equally important, the game’s superb art style, music

Okami is an absolutely epic game, and the main story should last most players around 30 hours, if they choose to ignore all the distractions that the game offers. The game puts a large emphasis on restoration and never forgets it; evident by the numerous

On paper, it sounds like this game was basically made for the Wii, and this system is why so many fans rallied for so long to see the game ported to Nintendo's system. It kills me to say it, but the Wii controls just don't work very well.

Who said there's nothing like The Legend of Zelda? On the most part, that's a true statement. However, Okami has gotten close to Nintendo's glorious series by using its awe-inspiring visuals, engaging story, and unique gameplay as a vehicle to success.
