  • BOTH VERSIONS ARE PHENOMENAL!!!!

  • okami at ps2 sucks

  • Okami at ps2 is so much great! wii sucks!!

  • when this guy says he likes the art direction of the game, he reminded me of chuggaaconroy! :)

  • battle scenes... makes me wanna scream: killing imps, you're doing it wrong >T

  • You pick out the only place in the game with slowdown (it happens literally once) but don't say anything about the poor gesture recognition which hampers the gameplay at times. It's not terrible but certainly worth mentioning.

  • Comment removed

  • To be honest: Okami ist way better than TwilightPrincess in just about every way.

  • Holy shit I want this game, why isn't it in stores in Norway?!

  • @Blackout987 jeg hadde det samme problemet men her er et lite hint.. bestill det over nettet med å gjøre følgende skritt:

    gå til siden kelkoo og søk på okami

    så vil den sende deg til platekompaniet så du kan bestille det.

    NB:

    hvis du går direkte til platekompaniet sin side vil de si at de ikke har wii versjonen selv om de har.

    Jeg vet at denne måten funker siden jeg gjorde det selv

  • @Wizepie :O Takker, Norge er noen kløner når det kommer til spill altså

  • The dodge actually worked four times. So you could say it works half the time.

  • Lol this review spoils like EVERYTHING

    you watch this and you basically know all the cool parts of the game. i mean sure theres a lot more but still 

  • i think this game looks good and the art of it is differnt although i dont really like the art style, if it were to be similar to zelda or more realistic then i think i would like it more still gonna check it out though

  • I love this game. I got the game as a gift and before I played it I was really sceptical, I thought it was gonna be a cheaper/worse version of zelda but I'd say its just as good, if not better than zelda. (:

  • In my personal opinion the PS2 version is better because it has the loading screen trick:D

  • @insaneme3 you have a point but i dont remember being able to skip cut scenes in ps2 and the first time thats not a a big deal but you will want to replay this game

  • @krazykillerhippo

    No matter what though. It's still the same game so it's all good.

  • i want and okami 2

    thumbs up if u agree

  • Even his review doesn't give justice to Okami. It is a much better game than Matt portrays it to be. Many of the things he points out as flaws are features that help rather than hinder gameplay. The 30 hours of gameplay he quoted is a far cry from what it really is. Perhaps an experienced pro could make it through only the basic soryline in that time, but that's missing all the hundreds of sidequests, chalenges, easter eggs, and other fum content of the game. MY TOTAL PLAY TIME ~100 Hrs per play

  • Wasn't the load time better in the Wii than PS2?

  • This game is so memorable. It's definitely in my top ten.

  • SPEAK UP I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

  • I just rented this from gamefly can't wait to finally play it

  • um ur describing the game like a faggot and u still didnt play it?

  • Okami is the only Legandary wii game without Nintendo games

  • OMG !!

  • zong this game is awsome

  • How did it turn out? Epic. Pure. Epic. 'Nuff Said.

  • damn i think im gonna buy this along with the trilogy...

  • ps2 didnt hiccup, not the fat ps2, mine never hiccupped

  • I LOVE this game its just osom.

  • I have the PS2 and now I'm DYING to get the other one to see how good it REALLY is ^^

  • use vine whip 5:48

    i had some trouble with this game

    i just bought it

    and when i got to the 1st level and got the slash technique

    it was asking me to cut those logs in a perfect line

    and i was stuck for a while

    does the game ask for perfect shapes or is that just me

  • you can use the z button instead of b so the motion you make is dead straight in whatever way you make the gesture. most of the controls are kinda fiddly but once you get the hang theyre great i took a while to get the hang ovvem. the shapes dont have to be perfect just clear what it is eg cherry bomb make a clear circle and clear line and itll happen

  • using the Z button is not a very trustworthy technique, because you are stuck with a straight line at the angle the WiiMote is tilted. It's easier to start on one side of the screen while holding down A and swipe across the screen quickly, therefore making a straight line...

  • it doesn't have to be perfect, maybe ur lines are just not straight, and the circles has to connect.

  • You can use the Z button to draw perfect straight lines, instead of A button. This game is one of the MUST buy for wii and PS2 owners, you can feel all the love that the producers put into the game! haha

  • i need this game =_= im gonna buy it soon

  • My game never had frame rate issues!

  • @sweetness2514 Lucky you. Mine did, and mine had issues with overheat / screwups. For example, once, after finishing my battle with the last dog warrior, Hayabusa, my head became a shadow and I quickly saved and continued on, system froze about 5 minutes later.  Luckily it didn't fry my Wii.

  • @sweetness2514 i know right! but IGN hates everything! D:<

  • Good review man =P. I just bought this at walmart for $20 last night and i am very satisfied with it. Also it is very similar to zelda twilight princess, because you always have issun following you like midna, your ridding the land of evil or w/e, and the gameplay is pretty similar in my opinion. This game is awesome and any wii owners need to buy it.

  • I like Matt Cassamina! :D

    BTW I want this game I never played it before it looks SOOOO good!

  • This is definately one of the best games ever made and it NEEDS a sequel!

  • If it sells.

    We exceeded expectations already.

    Whatever you guys do. Force your friends to buy the game. Don't lend it. Don't let them rent it.

  • Damn it! I let my friend borrow it! Hm, if he ever gets close to beating it, I'll take it back from him and he'll have to get it!

  • can u use the game cube controller?

  • No.

    You would never want to.

  • just got this game for my wii today! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

  • ooh! this makes me even more excited about getting this game! It shouldn't have gotten an 8.5, it should have no less than a 9.0 or higher!

  • its one of the gratest games i've ever played its just 2 bad it didnt sell 2 well

  • I never had any slowdown.

  • I just beat Twilight Princess yesterday and now im going to get started on Okami now, it looks great and I bet it will be tons of fun.

  • Thank you very much. I heard about this game but wasn't sure whether to buy it or not, I think I will go and buy it it sounds good. =]

  • Bought it for wii a few weeks ago, It's awesome. Similar to a Zelda game, but still awesome. :D

  • I absolutely loved Okami. I saw it for wii and got curious, picked it up and now its my favorite game. :]] I love the fact that Ammy is a wolf. Something about a wolf heroine is pretty BA.

  • He is right about the game play time. It took me 41 hours to beat it on my first run. I did very little side stuff but then again I did get lost a few times.

  • Very nice game. love the art, gameplay, and it was a lot of fun :D

  • in my opinion, best game ever! The first time i played through this game, I Got to the dragonian palace and my brother accidentaly restarted my account and I had to start all over!

  • This game made history on my BEST GAMES ever played. Okami deserves a huge round of aplause.

  • the guy seems lke he really likes this game aha

  • 0:55 i was all like inuyasha?

  • i rented it for the ps2 a when it came out and bought it for the wii

  • I have for wii.Okami copy zelda and i lik'it. Amazing game , better than much hypes

  • Engrish are speaking for making talk you it make for lol@Sandroaraponga

  • @Sandroaraponga Zelda+Epona-Zelda=Okami

  • idk i was playing twilight princess, and it was pretty good but like .. i got stuck at the part with the hole and the water in the sewer. when you first become a wolf, and since then i haven't played it.

    but i am not really into it like i was with mario.

    so idk if i will like this game =[ i need opinions!

  • Dude you have to keep playing. Play at least the first dungeon and then reconsider. Twilight Princess is awesome.

    Going to give Okami a go soon.

  • I played both games through and I highly suggest playing them both. If your really stuck on that one part in Twilight Princess then just search for the problem on GameFAQs or on Youtube, just play for a while longer and you'll learn to love it. As for Okami, it's not as similar to Legend of Zelda as most people make it out, but it is similar in some cases, mainly it's awesomeness. I ended up playing around 60 hours all together and I am now on my second playthrough. ^^

  • game looks good, im gettin it later

  • I got this game it is amazing definatlyu one of the best games i've ever played.

  • playing it right now, best game for the wii

  • are you stupid? he was talking about the analog stick for using the PENCIL!!!

  • is this game good 4 wii or ps2?

  • its good for both! but i prefer the wii

  • the first okami is for the ps2 the seccond one is for the wii

  • It's not a sequel dumb ass it's a port.

  • this game was awesome, I beat it last september.

  • i was afraid too, but, EVERYBODY used to say it was a wonderful game, so i bought it. and its a really great game, ok, the beginning wasnt sooo cool, but after that the game becomes very good, its like twilight princess(but instead of twilight areas u have cursed zones) and the graphics are beautiful too.

  • Eh, wrong. Twilight princess is like Okami, not the other way around. :P

  • I would buy it if I were you. It's such an amazing game, you'll be glad you bought it. It only LOOKS childish.

  • no not atall its just not childish.

  • I always wanted this game for PS2 never got it. Now I need to keep my eye out for the wii version.

  • best game capcom ever put their stamp on clover studios shouldnt of stopped makin games

  • i got it for xmas, the game is fucking beautiful, and it feels good to slash your enemies using a paintbrush lol.

  • i got it yesterdaaay!!! :D

  • cool zelda games are my favorite series, i gotta try this game out!

  • youd think asians would get games before uk and usa :s

  • I don`t get it?

  • I like this game a lot more then The legend of Zelda twlight princess

  • should i get okami or metroid prime

    two very diff games.. but okami looks way more unique, and the graphics are amazing.

  • Its up to you, but If you ask me, I think you should enjoy Okami.

  • yeah. but sinec i live in asia

    ITS NOT OUT YET WHAT THE HELL :(

  • you gotta be kidding me. the best game of all time and is not released yet....???

  • yes it is, i got a copy yesterday at walmart Oo i duno about the rest of the world but u.s. has coppies

  • nvm^^'

  • shoujld i get this game

    or should i get something like metroid prime

    but okami looks way more unique and the graphics are just.. wow

  • i love this game =D

  • I love these stylized graphics!

  • man,Okami is the best japanese game ever.

    at least that's what i think

  • i dont think i will have problems with the framerate.

    i play world of wacraft with 7FPS!

    =3

  • okami: aarrrooooooooooooooooo! i am awesome! aroooooooooooo! =3

  • If they only added special scenes and other additional stuff like a reaction commands and more sociable character development... and ooh! More techniques (both weapons and brush), I would prefer to buy this game if they did.

  • honestly i think this game would go PERFECTLY for the Nintendo DS

  • thats true

  • you are right!

  • They should make a spin-off.

  • Probably would work alot better. My Wii remote is picky and doesn't always pick up my brushing.

  • A ds version would be cool, although it would probably be a spin-off.

    If your wii isn't picking up your brushing, you're probably too close or too far from your tv.

  • agreed

  • @InuKH2Sammy

    Okamiden, the spiritual successor of Okami will be released on the DS.

  • @Nelbeb

    I know, This comment is a year old >>

  • @Nelbeb It's not a spiritual successor, implying that it's a different game but with many of the mechanics intact, such as System Shock to Bioshock. Okamiden is pretty much a full sequel.

  • @InuKH2Sammy

    Okamiden. Your wish was granted.

  • @InuKH2Sammy :DD and finally...okamiden was born~~~

  • woo. okami ps2 greatest hits came out.

  • I have it xD

  • I am hopeing that i will get this game for Christmas

  • Amazing

  • woof

  • This is the best Wii game. GET IT RIGHT NOW!!!

  • seems like a great game. the gameplay, the graphics, the story, everything seems to be really well made

  • I think amaterasu wouldf be the perfect mascot for greenpeace

  • I think on PS2 this game is better that papper loking backround,classic controlls is better to me,and fighting is better for me in PS2.

  • honestly one of the best games ever

  • my favorite wii game so far love it finished it no end of times and am still playing (trying to get s rating for praise)

  • I have no good wii games right now so I might buy this...

  • this game is good

  • I have Okami on PS2 and I love it! I'd never sell this game!

  • If it's like Zelda I have to play it

  • I had it for the PS2

    I thought it looked the same but meh.

  • I lost count of how many times I beat the game. I wish their was an Okami 2 coming out, becaues the ending of the game begs for it.

  • got it for ps2 and its a solid game! recommend it for any gamer

  • i really love this game

  • its zelda... only ur wolf link for the whole game

  • i know im probably gone get like lots of negative comments! but!

    THIS GAME IS BETTER THEN ZELDA, yeah i know,

    and im a very big zelda fan , but still Okami is like.. OMHFG

    this is my favorit game of all time til now

  • Truer words have never been said.

  • This is the most incredible game I have ever played. The graphics, soundtrack and story line are just perfect. There will be multiple times throughout the game where you will yell out HOLY F!@#$%G SHAT THAT WE AWESOME!!!!

  • Okay I need this game *Drool* lol

  • this is my pick for game of the year 2008(wii) and 2006(ps2)

  • Munszini

  • i haven't played such a good game since Ocarina of Time. One of the best game i've ever played

  • i played the wii version recently. compared to the ps2, the "waggle" triggered attacks are rather slow and sometimes unresponsive. but it might be because my friend's wii has some issues. has anyone else noticed this?

  • Actually it's not Oo

  • You know the funny thing is I have no idea why I put It was Mark Bozon, I think at the time I got Matt confused with mark since there voice sounds slightly alike. But then again it could be mark because at the start you can hear and see matt, but after that it sounds like Mark.....wierd..

  • I... NEED... THIS... GAME!!!

  • I...HAVE...THIS...GAME!!!

  • I...WANT...THIS...GAME!!!

  • Best wii game ;)

  • Awesome game

  • I wouldnt say the graphics are shit, its the style. It's meant to look like a painting

  • well,you got me there but i dont think the graphics are lame it is good.

  • bad graphics? Not here. Its called Japanese style art. Not every fuckign game is 'how real can we make it?'

    Its a video game, not a fucking war simulator.

  • true

  • agree with you

  • Gorillaz6321, this game is supposed to look like a painting. In this right, it succeeds!

  • I can see you haven't played it...

  • I have this game and its amazing!

    whats the paper filter?..

  • The paper filter was more featured on the PS2 version. It made the screen look as if it was being played out on an old piece of rice paper, like a scroll. It gave it a more authentic look

  • Woh, I just bought this game today in HMV, it looks amazing!

  • Okami is my favorite-est game ever! I was disappointed about the paper filter being taken out on the Wii version, though.

  • LOL XD 5:48 "Bulbasaur vinewhip!!!!"

  • If I can only get two games should I get:

    Okami (Wii)

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7

    Final Fantasy 4 (DS)

  • Okami without a doubt.

    As for the other two, it's a toss up.

  • Thanks!!

  • That Matt guy seems a little ... odd.

  • Okami is such an awesome game i played it TWICE on PS2 it is a lot of fun i wish there were more good RPGs that featured a non-human main character... and yeah it is a lot like Zelda in some ways but it stands on its own really. and even tho you could be link Wolf in TP Okami was a lot more fun...

  • i just got this game I LOVE IT

    why dont they realize OKAMI CAME OUT BEFORE TWILIGHT PRINCESS, why compare?

  • I love this game I bought it for the wii and its bad ass I loved every moment in it

  • If you're a Wii owner who missed out on the PS2 version, you'd be mad not to buy Okami, truly one of the best games on the Wii!
