Now a lot of people really do not like the wii, I myself believe this is due to the fact the graphics are less then cutting edge unlike the xbox 360 and ps3 but that's just what I myself believe to be the cause of lesser ratings for the most part on the wii.
Now when I get a game I of course examine the graphics but not a great deal i don't really care how "cutting edge" they are or are not but when i saw okamis graphics it made me realize just how cool cell shading can actually look when presented the right way. So this game gets a 10/10 for graphics mainly because the game's selection of how the graphics were presented really matched one of the overall themes of this game which is the beauty of art.
At first when I started to fight using the reflector I was getting so aggravated because no mattter how rapidly I shook the wii remote amaterasu didn't attack constantly but then I realized you had to time the weapon swing right which made me realise how good this game actually was compared to all the other games I've played where you can just swing the remote constantly and basically be a god, not even having to use any skill to take down enemies, thats why this game made me love how you actually had to work at mastering the combination sets and the timed attacks.
One of the best features to this game was the vast character cast, true the characters are usually based off the same model but they also were given very different appearances and personalities which I loved. The quests were hard making this game a great challenge so i didn't spend only ten hours on it and beating it feeling so let down...the game took me 38 hours to beat even when i didn't do all the side quests so the whole adventure was just awesome.
Overall i loved okami it actually was a very good adventure game it was humorous in parts and very serious in others paired with the music it really made me feel heroic(lol ya i know nerdy). I'd have to say rent okami see if you like it. I sure did!:)

Capcom has proved why they've been around as long as they have once more. Okami has a cute story and incredible artwork (it wouldn't be right to say graphics, the style is amazing). It's essentially Legend of Zelda, without all the Zelda: Action/Adventure dungeon crawling, a main character that doesn't speak, a rich environment, and plenty of cool powerups as it goes along, oh yeah, and an annoying little sprite that yells advise at you every two seconds. Which brings us to the downsides of Okami. Capcom apparently thinks they're too clever for you, so they've given you a guide who insults you and then gives you a ridiculously huge hint everytime you come up against a puzzle. All in all I can't fault the game all that much as the rest of it is entertaining and quite charming.

This is one of the best games I have EVER played. The controls are great(you don't get something like that very often...)! Everything has a specific button and that's really helpful. The game play is fun and allows you to figure stuff out but gives you helpful hint if you need them. If you liked Zelda: Twilight Princess I think you'll really like this game. Oh and about the graphics its supposed to look the way it does not 3D but not 2D more like a 2.75D.
