Everyone should do themselves a favor and play this incredible action adventure game. There is NO other game that plays like Okami. God bless japanese developers.

Its a japanese mythology game where you play as a wolf set out to rid nippon of an evil 8 headed dragon. The art style is similiar to Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker where it is cell shaded. The game most unique feature is that you can pause the gameplay anywhere to use a paintbrush. This is how you do your puzzle solving and attacking. The game is developed by the Viewtiful Joe company clover studios. Trust me, this game is like no other and the graphics is some of the best the PS2 has ever seen. Once you start playing it, its hard to put down the controller. Just so gorgeous. Check out some of the gameplay videos yourself. media.ps2.ign.com/media/678/678618/vids_1.html

You wont regret it. Some of the most beatiful landscapes and original gameplay you will ever see in a videogame.

The intro story is a bit long and text based but once you get in control of the wolf its all over from there. "Ass sticks to seat"

I got it today! Very cool game, but not as fun as I had hoped. Maybe it gets better later. Again - very cool! I love cel shading. Also: This is a game for Wyrdwad.

After watching some of the gameplay movies of the game, I can say: I don't like the style of which the game is being played in ( using the brush way to much ) nor do I like the 8 Legged Fox boss which reminds me of the crappy overdone Anime Naruto

Whoa, I just saw on CD Japan that the soundtrack for this game is five discs! It must be a huge game.

I'm very disappointed in this game's soundtrack. I find most of it pretty bad.

It doesn't sound like it has a more traditional game soundtrack. It's been described as sounding "very Japanese". I would be curious to hear other's reactions who are playing it.

Yeah the music is definitely "very Japanese." All those strange instruments, etc. The entire game is very Japanese. Seems to be based entirely on Japanese mythology - something that isn't even remotely interesting to me (yes, I find the story utterly boring and uninspiring).

I disagree. Okami is in my ranks for top game of the year. For those of you who gave up, you gave up to soon cause there is a lot of adventure in this game. 13 celestial brush strokes you have to find and a ton of hidden secrets. No game compares to this one in terms of gameplay. This game is long and most importantly FUN. Have you tried peeing on enemies yet?

Okami wins.
And my Seldane theorem holds true! =D
Also: Can anyone confirm or deny that Okami seems to be doing better in the US than it did in Japan?

Wyrdwad: This game already exists. Sort of. Terranigma.
