Product Description
In ?kami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a veritable wasteland. Players must assume the role of a wolf, an embodiment of the sun god Amaterasu, which is capable of wielding unimaginable power. The state of the world lies in your hands as you must fight ominous beings and reclaim the earth from a curse that plagues it. It is crucial to help Amaterasu make the world a place where all living creatures can dwell once again. Defeating the creatures that Amaterasu encounters will not be a small feat. The real-time fighting system not only involves biting and ramming strikes, but also allows for various attacks using bronze mirror of Yata on its back as well as a host of other unique abilities. This system allows the usage of a myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf. As the wolf becomes more powerful, more attacks become available. This blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before. Traditional Japanese art comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels Rooted in the third person perspective, you will need to interact with the people you encounter, building their faith by clandestinely answering their prayers and wishes

 Fun Game September 15, 2008

I actually bought this for my wife to play she LOVES it... good news for me because I can watch football now
 Fantastic! September 13, 2008
I cannot believe I missed this game the first time around. I rented this game and after one day of playing, realized I must buy it instead! I'm tired of all the games being short enough to beat in the 5 days I can rent the game for. Finally, there's a new game that is taking me on an adventure and is beautifully created as well.
The game is very similar, mission-wise, to the Zelda series. There's the monsters you fight and side-quest to take, skills to learn, people to talk to, towns to help out, etc.
I'm still playing this game (haven't beat it yet!) and it's just fantastic. I haven't have any problems described in other reviews about the game not recognizing brush techniques, etc. I think maybe there's just a learning curve and you have to make sure your sensor is positioned right and is clean too!
 Good Game, Poor Design September 12, 2008

(Game has MAJOR flaws on Wii system.) This game is fun and addicting. It has beautiful graphics and a good story. Game Concept: 5 stars; Game Play: 1 star. This game has two major flaws, thus the reason for the 1 star game play.
One: The only way to save your progress is to find a mirror pool. There is no other way to save. Unfortunately, on the way to these mirror pools when you've just gained a new skill, you tend to get attacked and often die. This results in having to replay everything you just spent 2 hours on completely over again to re-gain the skill you lost when you died. This sucks and happens often resulting in 1-2 hours of lost work. Mirror Pools usually only appear in one place per level so they can be difficult to get to.
Two: Each level of progress has a special place where you put your new skills to the test. Unfortunately, the game is extremely picky in how it interprets what you do. If you have to draw a circle around a tree, you must draw it the way the game wants you to draw it. Not every circle is accepted by the game and, in fact, 95% of attempts are rejected. I don't know if this is a Wii controller issue or something else. Anyway, it results in you being stuck in a continous loop of doing the same thing over & over & OVER again until the game decides you've paid the price and accepts your meager efforts. You can't save or exit this loop, so if you get frustrated and turn off the Wii (due to need for sleep) - BOOM! 2 hours of gameplay are lost and you have to go through the whole miserable process again.
If you're considering purchasing this game on the Wii, I suggest renting it first before you buy. This way you'll know if your tolerance level can stand these two major flaws in the game design.
One of the Best Games I've ever played September 9, 2008

Okami (either the Wii verson or the PS2) is one of the most creative wonderful games I've ever playied. I would recomend this game to just about anyone. This is one of those games that you can just keep playing and playing, even once you've beaten the game, even more fun and un-lockables open for playing.
SO SO beautiful!!!!! September 8, 2008

This is one of the best looking games on the WII system today. THe controls could have been tweak little but it does not take away from the game. The levels are an eye opener to the diverse colors that make up each level.
