DESCRIPTION

Stylistically distinct, with a look that seems to combine tribal art with high-tech cel shading, Okami tells the story of the sun goddess Ameterasu, who has taken the form of a powerful wolf and come to bring light to the land. She will battle against other creatures form myth and legend, using claw and fang as well as her magical powers.

Although it was originally released for PlayStation 2, the game makes special use of the light gun-like Wii Remote in one of its most distinguishing features. To solve puzzles and reach new locations, Ameterasu can paint splashes of light and color across the screen, and the Wii controller's pointer features offer players an immediate, accurate virtual paintbrush. ~ T.J.

“Okami just doesn't do it for me. Getting frustrated repeatedly over my lack of the ability to draw a straight line is not fun.”

“Completed the tutorial section and I'm really not sure how I feel about this game. I can't draw and apparently, I can't waggle correctly in battle. No matter how much I swing the Remote, the wolfie...”

“This game shines in showing that realistic graphics aren't always better. With absolutely beautifully shaded cel-style graphics, this game is an absolute must try regardless of your gaming tastes. Rent, at the very least.”

“It's fun! Vivid and friendly and different. And it's pretty easy to trade off, and fun to watch. So far so good!”

“Charming Zelda-esque title with a beautiful art style and strong adventure gameplay, but never quite reaches its full potential. Secrets are too obvious and combat is lacking, but the visuals and story will keep you going.”

“Beautiful. Artistic. Good, intriguing story. Playing as a badass wolf. Issun gets a bit annoying after the point that you think he should stop giving you advice, but as long as Amateratsu keeps on trying to eat him, I'm okay with it.”

“Played a bit. Got to a new field area. I like how this game tends to have smaller, but more frequent dungeons than the Legend of Zelda games, it helps break up the tedium of exploration, while not...”

“This game is visually striking as well as addicting in play. Its the first of its kind to be such an aesthetically drunkening RPG (AFAIK) and the storyline is great too. Set in Feudal Japan, Okami is sure to tickle your senses.”

“Continues to be an amazing and somewhat bizarre adventure. In only a couple of hours I plunged into the depths of a human body and had an alien encounter. Weird.”
