 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.
Overall a really great game September 4, 2008

This game was deffinately worth my time and money. The gameplay was extremely long. There were two or three points where they easily could have stopped the game but, instead, kept the story going. While there are many similarities to Zelda, this game is deffinately unique enough to stand on its own.
The only bad things I have to say are that the bosses were sometimes too easy, you were given too many hints on how to solve puzzles, and the dialog went on at times for way too long.
