IGN: Okami Wii Review

Okami's strengths on Wii far outweigh any of its weaknesses. Wii owners can pick the game up for only $39.99 and those who do will be walking away with an outstanding title full of great adventure of a caliber typically reserved for titles starring Link and Zelda. IGN still think Twilight Princess is Wii's best adventure, but Okami is more than a worthy alternative. Support this game -- it deserves nothing less than your full attention.

[wiizy]

okami and mario kart are games worth picking up in april.

[Doctor Strange]

I really want a sequel to this game. Great review loved it on the PS2.

I LOVED Okami I even have the Artbook :D

Hopefully more people will play it and are able to finally se the masterpiece Okami is :)

[Lucreto]

How is the art book?

I am getting the English version when it is released here.

[Charlie2688]

The artbook is SPECTACULAR it has detailed illustrations of EVERYTHING in the game from every single monster, character, boss, weapon and location and even concepts of things that were not included its almost 300 pages!

I particularly prefer the Japanese version cuz as you have seen the artbook is made in traditional japanese "book" (and it has that kind of finish to make it look old and a sort of collection of scrolls) form and it looks EXTREMELY odd with much of the Japanese text replaced with English

also if you are also in Artbooks be sure to check out The Megaman Zero Complete Works, Capcoms Design Works and Udons Art of Capcom

I will personally visit and punch out every Wii owner who doesn't purchase this game. GET TO IT!!

[DeckUKold]

Therefore I will be the first Wii Owner you visit

This game is very long for an adventure game. I'm currently clocked at 34-37 hours on the PS2 version and I still haven't finish the game yet.

My GF has a Wii and told me I can take it home (nobody is currently playing it). I just might to give this game another try. Yes I said another, I rented it not too long ago for the PS2, but the beginning was so freaking long before you start playing that I just turned it off and returned it to Gamefly. I had other games that were can't wait titles so I didn't have the patience.

Is the game worth another shot? Does it still take like 20 minutes before the game starts?

[Skerj]

The game is TOTALLY worth a shot, after that initial intro and starter tutorial it'll be one of the greatest adventure games you'll ever play.

[Le-mo]

Let's just say not playing this game will probably be one of the biggest mistake you'll ever make in your gaming life time.

[SlyGuy]

Agree x 100000000000

Love for Okami, love for Amateratsu, love for all :=)

[ohhthegore]

I have a wii, but im not sure if I should pick up this version or just look for a copy of the ps2 version instead. Any suggestions?

[ohhthegore]

I know its just that other sites say its better picking up the PS2 version and I know it would be cheaper too
