Okami not a complete failure on Wii

Still, it didn't sell enough to get a sequel I bet. But I'm quite satisfied with the overall game. It's actually my favorite game of all time.

Anyone who loves the Zelda games will be blown away by Okami. Okami is actually more accessible as well. Anyway if you have the ability, get it on PS2. The controls are wayyy better, although the Wii does look a bit better (more defined colors and a bit sharper look).

It's too bad really, Okami(on PS2) is one of my all time favorite games. The idea of not getting a sequel still makes me a little sad.

Okami is a good game in all rights. My wife bought it for her Wii and she loves it. She's 60 hours in now trying to complete the bead quests. I also have it on my PS2, and I have still yet to finish it, but it's a great game. The Wii version got at least one thing right; it can play in progressive scan which eliminates the blurry visuals when played on an HDTV. I wish that Clover had included at least a widescreen resolution so I could at least see it in said resolution. Not even progressive scan but widescreen like Final Fantasy XII or Yakuza.

Ultimately, Okami is a great and long game that any core gamer should experience. I bought the original copy for my PS2 and I'm proud to own it. Especially since it's getting harder and harder to find in game shops.

I don't know about the game, since I snoozed off on the introduction. It took like 20-30 minutes just to listen to the memmmememe sounds and button pushing to get through a story that could have been told in 2 minutes via animation. Once you start the game (mind you I turned it off after 2 minutes into the actual gameplay) you still get more of this memememme sounds and story. I want to start the game damn!t, just tell the story as you go along, but don't force me to wait in anticipation... after a while your interest dies.

The game might have been great, but I wouldn't know since I didn't even get that far to play long enough.

I said this in another topic, but when Clover was dissolved, all of its intellectual properties defaulted to Capcom. If it wanted, Capcom could make Okami 2.

but would it be as good as if Clover made it?

As good as the original? Probably not. But then again, few sequels are ever as good as the originals and Capcom's not exactly known for consistence in the quality of its franchise entries.

Personally, even if the chance was only 1% that an Okami 2 would be as good as the first, I'd hope for them to take it.

it's a good game on either system , but I actually prefer playing with the Wii mote but the dualshock works just as good...

put it this way RE4 was good on the PS2 , but the Wii controlls just made the game more immersive

If you do buy it, whatever you do, DONT BUY THE DODGE TECHNIQUE. The only flaw in the wii controls IMO. It uses the nunchuk's gyroscope and it simply doesnt work. Dodging isnt really necessary anyways

I agree that the dodge technique doesn't work that great. Why not buy it though? It's not expensive :P. The thing is, the dodge technique does work, but to use it, you have to have your arm out straight and use very exaggerated movements. So it doesn't work *well*.

1) Nobody wants to talk to you

2) Because its an Okami article. People who have played this game know that it is just as good as any other game people discuss alot.
