Ok I know you videogame fan boys are probably saying "ahhh man you're so frickin laatee blah blah" Well yes I am late nice to spot that out..here's a shiny gold star! place it on your chest, raise your head high and pat yourself on the head!
ANYWHOO enough of my sarcasm..:-)
Okami is a super great game. Ported from the Ps2, You play as a Wolf named Amaterasu set in the Nippon times of Japan. I'm Currently Playing the Wii version at the mo' and it's quite impressive, the graphics are pretty giving you the feeling of playing a game made out of japanese paintings which is quite a fresh idea, not your super 1080p kinda game but since the graphical capabilities of the Wii are inferior to the other elite consoles ( ps3 and Xbox 360...duh you should know the other present generation consoles by now...lol) its still pleasing to the eye. The music is catchy leaving you humming and singing along to the tunes while running full speed through the spacious land.."Dah dah daa da daaaaaahhh". This adventure game has high similarities compared to the Zelda series but you shouldn't feel that it has actually ripped the Zelda series off, You can easily tell the developers at Ready at Dawn were fans of the Zelda series and wanted to make a game just as great, they have done that! And have included their own sort of originalities such as the celestial paint brush techniques which personally to me is fresshh maan! I love using the technique while fighting enemies and puzzle solving. Obviously, every game has its flaw, Okami has quite a few well especially on the Wii platform like using the brush technique can be a pain in the frickin' rectum sometimes its like ARGHHH damn let me do that technique again..ARGGHHH for FUCK sake...let me do it AGAIN!..and after 4-5 times of trying and banging your head on the wall of your house till you've realized you're bleeding a bit you'll eventually get it right and feel like you can get on with life, It doesn't affect the gameplay highly but it's super annoying because of the retarded Nintendo Wii motion sensing controller so it takes time getting used to( fucking gimmick..I joke I joke..). The world map is huge, Plenty to explore, plenty side quests, easily 40 odd hours of gameplay, this is Niiiceee since most games these days are like 10 hours and i'm paying £30. Okami is heavily underrated which is annoying because shitty games like "Sonic and the roundtable of 40 thieves" ( thats not a real sonic game if you're looking for it sonic fans...its just a prediction of what the next sonic title may be...) get exposure and other mediocre games like Fable 2 which has pointless quests in its gameplay are highly rated.
Okami is a very decent game and it's worth a play if Zelda-esque games are your thing, give it a go because Playing this game makes you think "hold on...why aren't most games these days made with thought, creativity and brilliant ideas like this?
