CloseOKAMI
You play as the Sun God/dess, Ameratsu, a white wolf whose job it is to rid the world of the evil demon, Orochi. On the way you meet many curious and unforgettable characters, defeat many monsters, complete many quests and retrieve your missing powers in the form of the celestial signs. The world comes alive with the stroke of your brush and ink, creating many effects including rain showers, wind storms and the destruction of obstacles that get in your way.

I know it's been out now for a few years (I think it was released in 2006?) but I was introduced to this game by a friend who lent me his copy. I just finished it last night and I have to say that it was one of the best plays I've had in a long time. (Since Suikoden V came out, actually.)
Has anyone else had the pleasure of playing Okami?

I have heard of this game from a friend who has played this and it sounds really good. Seems like the kind of game i'd like as well.

This is a really good game.
I liked it much better than Zelda, even if it borrows many of its gameplay elements from the Zelda series. The graphics are really good, the soundtrack is awesome, the Celestial Brush mechanic works really well, and even the story flows better! It is also the only God game I've seen where the player is more compelled to heal the land than to set people in fire, which is a real accomplishment.

Okami is a fantastic game, although it seems to be a 'love it or hate it' game. The cutscenes can be pretty long at times and the most frequent complaint I hear is the 'voices' which I think is great; It gives an idea of how they'd sound if they were talking without having to do VA work.
Its a beautiful game with a brilliant soundtrack. The visual style fits perfectly with the setting. I can't recall any problems I had with its presentation, it was spot on. I loved just running around taking in the experience. Too bad the field music only plays during the day (but that's easy to fix using brush powers, just draw the sun and watch the music kick in again!)
I had a few issues with the gameplay side of things. At first the fights were hard (Waka!) but when I replayed (part of) it, everything was far easier. I wish there was a difficulty option somewhere so I wouldn't have to self-penalize myself to get more of a challange. The final dungeon was incredibly dissapointing. I was expecting something great... or good... or interesting. Issun was annoying at times too, he'd mention the solution (or give huge hints) to puzzles too quickly (And then when I do get stuck, Issun shuts his mouth :P )
At the end of the day though, Okami's a fantastic game and easily my favorite PS2 game. Its between budget games and the high end games so its affordable. The celestial brush is fun to play with too, giving the player a 'divine intervention' feel.
Not sure how the Wii port plays out. I have it but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Yes, I've heard that with the Wii version it's a bit hard to get the brush to do what you want. Apparently the PS2 version is much easier to control.
I'm gonna have to buy my own copy of the game. It's just that great.

I can't comment on differences between the two. I know the Wii version has some weird shit going on with the brush. My analysis has shown that wonkiness ensues when the Wiimote is twisted. The game doesn't pick up proper movements if the Wiimote isn't level.
Also, I have a widescreen TV and PS2 version doesn't have widescreen so there you go.

Ps2 version is supposedly better.
Cool, i'll probably buy it on that then. I went to try and buy it today but half the stores i asked hadn't even heard of it. :(
