Product Description
Okami tells the story of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun god, who takes the form of a wolf and sets out on an amazing journey to restore a ruined, darkened world into a beautiful place full of life and color. Commanding the elements and various magical abilities, the player uses Okamis signature Celestial Brush to revitalize life and defeat the tyrannical and destructive monster Orochi, effectively painting on the screen with the Wii Remote. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, Lkami comes alive on Wii with its awe-inspiring art style and scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. *DLC (Downloadable Content) may not be included and is not guaranteed to work*

There are a lot of reasons to love this game, ranging from unique characters, to just bizarre and off-beat enemies, and no matter what, it is a memorable classic that is easily one of the best games of its kind (i.e. more art-oriented). The 3-d art is beautiful and all of it is very different than anything else you will find on the Wii. The game combines it's open-world aspects and mini-stages, such as battles or interactive cut-scenes, wonderfully, giving the player plenty of ways to either avoid unnecessary combat or grind relentlessly for dragon fangs. Many characters will have you laughing or crying by the end of the story (and some even have a weird mixture of both!), and though it feels short lived for such a magnificent game, there is a whole host of side content to unlock upon beating the game.
My only real concerns about this game are the issues of its conversion to the Wii, and game balancing; for the casual gamer, this is a fun little story to wander around in at a nice, easy pace. However, for a hardcore gamer, or one that focuses on clearing the game as quickly as possible, it is just way to easy. I breezed through the first half of the game in just a few hours, and I finished the entirety of it two days later after a break. Not to say that it won't take time to discover all its secrets, just that I was so excited by the story-line that I couldn't help but push forwards and find the end. The enemies are mediocre at best, and simply switching between spamming physical attacks against enemies and slices could get you through most of the game (this isn't true about boss fights, all of those were awesome!).
Another concern, echoed by many people on the 1 side of the spectrum, are the motion controls. I just want to say that I steeled myself for beginning this game and my first challenge with the brush was.... painting in a river. It's that simple. The only times a shaky hand or faulty sensor hampered me was in the knocking down this random wall person who randomly popped up in places all over the island (seriously, is there just a factory that produces them and then catapults them to random places of the globe or what?!) other than that, there is nothing too difficult to master after 3 or 4 tries. This realistic brush control added way more to the game than it took away. Seriously, unless there is something wrong with the remote and the player is slow and careful with their brush strokes, there is no way to mess it up in any game-destroying way. It's just one of the games that actually fully utilizes the Wii's motion controls. It's what makes the Wii actually deliver on its reason for existence!
So anyway, in summary, if you own a Wii, you absolutely must get this game!
(Also, sorry if this was a horrible review. It's just my first so please don't flame me if I offended anyone by saying the controls were easy. I just don't think they were any reason not to buy the game.)
However, this game isn't flawless. There is a bit of a learning curve with the Celestial Brush and the game does sometime confuse one Celestial Brush stroke for another (i.e. the game accidentally calling out the Sun when drawing a circle for the Bloom brush stroke during Mr. Orange's dance instead of making blossoms bloom). I do not wish to make it sound like the Brush mechanic does not work at all but as an honest review, it must be stated. With that being said, this confusion issue does NOT hamper the pace of the game or the gameplay and it is actually a non-issue for 99% of the time (as reflected by my 5 Stars for rating as well as fun). There are also elements that some may find inappropriate (in form of certain characters or attacks). However, this again is a mostly a non-issue and does not hamper the game overall.
Overall, after you get past the introductory elements (i.e. possibly the first 15-20 mins) in the game, the game sort of grabs you, takes you on an absolutely engrossing adventure, and never really lets go until the game is done. To anyone who is on the fence regarding purchasing this game, I have nothing more to say than please purchase the game (this also applies to people who haven't considered purchasing the game yet). You will be glad that you did. Absolutely worth every single penny you spend.
It's beautiful artwork and is like playing with paintings. The interactive brush techniques for the fights, makes the game very fun! The game is actually pretty long! I thought I was done after I defeated the 8 headed dragon, but apparently he was just one of the first bosses. The world expands and you travel to different cities to solve other problems plaguing the world of Okami.
My favorite combination is Main Weapon as Glaive, and Sub Weapon as Reflector. You can use Z to spin the reflector like a shield. By spinning your shield, if an enemy strikes you, you will block the attack and then throw the enemy as a counter attack. This is a great way to collect Fangs, which are traded for some very helpful items. Items that allow ink bullet, allows you to paint the enemy turning them black and blind for a few seconds. This causes them to immediately randomly attack, which is perfect for the spinning reflector counter attack. (Does not work on enemies made of metal or carrying metal shields)
Very Fun GAME!!!
Top reviews from other countries
Unlike some other RPG/open world wii games, this game utilizes the wii remote's motion sensing abilities a lot (i.e. shaking and swinging the remote), especially with fights and with drawing (which occurs a lot!), so don't be surprised to have a hurting wrist after hours of vigorous play! It does allow for a more physical experience of the game though, so I would not say it's a bad thing at all - it adds to the experience.
Ultimately, I would highly recommend this game to anyone - and for such a low price, I would say this unique game is a must-buy! BEYOND worth the money.
I love this game not only for its hours of fun and entertainment, but for the sheer beauty of its style and design.
