Description
Originally designed for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and released in 2006, Okami now comes alive in an entirely new way on the Wii with its visually stunning art style and beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must use the Wii remote to interact with a dynamic world and cast of characters. The blend of stylized graphics, movements and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.
Features:
Features:
- Innovative gameplay and control scheme optimized for the Wii - Defeating monsters requires both motion-controlled physical attacks, but also use of the Wii Remote as Amaterasu’s ‘Celestial Brush’ to paint the desired powers for decimating enemies and solving puzzles.
- Create and destroy at will - Play as a god to re-establish order and beauty to a world laid barren by evil.
- Intense action-packed battles - Rooted in Japanese folklore, fight against a diverse line-up of demons and monsters.
- Utilize various gameplay styles - In addition to the Celestial Brush, Amaterasu can wield three types of offensive weaponry, each with their own unique abilities and effects. Depending on how a weapon is equipped, it can be used as the main or sub weapon:
- o Reflectors - These well-balanced weapons are suited for close range combat
- o Rosaries- Sacred magatama beads are great for quick long range attacks
- o Glaives - These can be charged up to unleash powerful close range attacks
- Intriguing main character - Assume the role of the sun god, Amaterasu, who descends upon the earth in the form of a wolf. The Japanese translation of the word wolf is Okami.
- Original visuals and revolutionary design- Vibrant and inspiring graphics, reminiscent of traditional Japanese art created on paper scrolls, produce a large variety of stages with a watercolor-esque appearance.
- Interact with a unique and dynamic cast of characters.

"Really cool"
It's pretty much the PS2 game on Wii but it's so much fun. Okami with the
Wii remote just made everything more fun for me.
A hit game+interactive console= really fun :D
There isn't much more to it so expect to find yourself playing the game again if
you've already played it on the PS2

"Superb adventure"
Okami is the swansong from developers Clover Studios (Viewtiful Joe), and represents one damn fine slice of gaming pie. It is difficult to convey the majesty of this game within the scope of a short review so all I will say is this – Okami on Wii is the refined version of a true gaming classic. Every serious gamer needs to have this in their collection, and everyone who plays games should experience it.

"Great game"
Okami has the unfortunate distinction of having won a ton of awards, but poor
sales. I cannot understand why, as I loved the game. Essentially it is an
ongoing quest game based (loosely) on figures from Shinto legend. Through a
combination of battle techniques and the mystical celestial brush you work your
way through various fights, challenges and puzzles.
I did find some of the brush techniques a bit tricky with the wii remote until
I found the hint about the z-key – there are tons of online hints and
walkthroughs if you get stuck, but once you have the controls sorted, it is
fairly intuitive.
An epic game with many hours of game-play – I had racked up over 30 hours
before thieving scumbags broke into my house and stole my console and games.
I will definitely be getting it again when have a new console.
