Video Game Reviews of Okami
Customer Review: Spectacular, fun, and original game.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm about half-way through this game (missed it in it's original form on ps2 as I never had one) and I'd seriously have gladly paid more than $50 for the wonder, joy, and fun I've had so far in my 25 hours of play.
This is a fantastic game with art, style, controls, ideas, and goals like nothing you've ever seen before. The artwork is incredible -- like a living, breathing Japanese watercolor scroll. The action is exciting and challenging, but at the same time "wholesome" and "family-friendly" as you restore nature to a bleak landscape while befriending and feeding wildlife. It may sound pansied-down, but it's really not -- they somehow make it simultaneously challenging, exciting, wholesome, and rewarding all at the same time. It's more "extreme" than any game I've played with "extreme" in its title!
I claim that this combination has never been achieved in any game without "Mario" in the title ever in the history of video games. I may be wrong and forgetting one or two, but there can't be many that are this awesome, and certainly no others have this incredible -- almost museum-quality -- artwork.
If you have a wii (or even a ps2) buy this game no matter what the age or interests of the potential players. Everyone can play, and will love, Okami.
Description of Okami
In kami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a veritable wasteland. Players must assume the role of a wolf, an embodiment of the sun god Amaterasu, which is capable of wielding unimaginable power. The state of the world lies in your hands as you must fight ominous beings and reclaim the earth from a curse that plagues it. It is crucial to help Amaterasu make the world a place where all living creatures can dwell once again. Defeating the creatures that Amaterasu encounters will not be a small feat. The real-time fighting system not only involves biting and ramming strikes, but also allows for various attacks using bronze mirror of Yata on its back as well as a host of other unique abilities. This system allows the usage of a myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf. As the wolf becomes more powerful, more attacks become available. This blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before. Traditional Japanese art comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels Rooted in the third person perspective, you will need to interact with the people you encounter, building their faith by clandestinely answering their prayers and wishesAdventure Games
