Okami: A Masterpiece of Art and Adventure on PS2
In Okami pS2, the player takes the role of the mythical sun goddess Amaterasu, in the form of a wolf. Her task is to restore color to the world by destroying the monsters who have stolen it. Since Amaterasu is a deity, there are naturally people who worship her and people who don’t. The more people who worship her (as a result of her restoring color and doing other good deeds for them), the more powerful she becomes. It is crucial to help Amaterasu make the world a place where all living creatures can dwell once again.

I love this game. Think Zelda meets Japanese folklore. You play a goddess named Amaterasu, lovingly known as Amy, on her journey to free the world from darkness and to free all the gods of the zodiac. The art is absolutely stunning. I’ve played this game over and over and over. I purchased the HD version on the PSN network and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I felt that this game was very underrated and didn’t get the attention it so rightly deserved. If you want a great free roam adventure game this is it.
I’m very excited to get this game some how it got over looked in PS2 massave game titles. I don’t have a system hooked up at the moment so I’m going on a lot of game reviews haven’t seen a bad review yet.Most say it’s a hidden gem. Is in great condition and arrived really fast.
Story / GameplayIn playing as Amaterasu, A Sun-God awoken to defend a classical Japanese village in the area of Nippon, you will use a variety of weapons, combat techniques, and Celestial brushes to defeat your enemies and rid the land of an ancient evil that has been resurrected. The weapons will be your standard platforming arsenal of short and long ranged devices that you use to keep yourself from harm, and try for the opposite effect with your enemies. These will include various twists on Japanese Imperial Regalia to include, A reflector disk (Your beginning weapon), Rosary Beads (Your primary ranged weapon), and a Glaive (Powerful long sword).The Celestial Brush is what makes this game unique. It allows you to pause the game at any time using the R1 button and paint various symbols to have a wide reaching effect on gameplay. These include, but are not limited to, attacking enemies/objects, bringing back life to various dead flora, creating platforms, and in general showing off your God-like ability to affect almost every aspect of reality in the game. The Celestial Brush will be your major gameplay factor in practically every puzzle the game offers. It’s also used for story progression and helping out some of your village friends think they can do things they really can’t without them knowing.Art / GraphicsOkami draws a lot of it’s animations from Japanese watercolor paintings most famous from the Ukiyo-e style. Like the game Zelda: The Windwaker, which people most commo.
You know what you are ordering. Great game.
One of the top 3 best video games I have every played.
Being a big fan of Japanese art and culture, I loved this game. The storyline is loosely based on the story of the sun goddess, Amateresu. Of course, much of the real story has been twisted a bit to make gameplay more interesting.This game takes Japanese water color artwork and brings it to life. The landscapes and characters are beautiful.I was sad when I reached the end of the game..I wanted more. While watching the credits, I discovered that the game designers had given me what I wanted. I’m not going into detail (don’t want to spoil it), but if you watch the end credits after beating the game, you might just find that you need to play the game again. ;)There are so many side quests in this game, it would be nearly impossible to complete them all before beating the game at least one time. Many of these side quests will enhance your abilities or give you special items that are not available from the merchants that are scattered throughout the lands.After beating the game two times, I still want more! I hope there are more games like this in the future, and I hope that they are good enough to rival Okami.
Okami is proof that one of the most important thing in game design is not the graphical processing power of the game console, but the power of the designer’s imagination, and it stands on it’s own as being totally unique. It’s a very satisfying adventure with memorable characters, intuitive play mechanics, wonderful music, and an astonishing visual presentation. Simply put, it’s a great game and a lot of fun to play. It’s a sad state of affairs within the gaming community nowadays when games as wonderful and perfectly constructed as Okami are ignored, and world-class development studios such as Clover (which developed Okami) find themselves closed down after poor sales of their critically acclaimed titles, simply because their games don’t feature enough violence, blood, and guns. At any rate, kudo’s to the team who put this game together. Well done, and good luck on future gaming endeavours.
Note: the above four stars is mainly because some painting style were very difficult to execute, and it was time consuming to finish the game the first time (not knowing what to do, I found myself stuck for hours on end due to bad explanation in the section with the ship, since I kept trying to look for the fox rods and didn’t realize I needed to do other things first), that and the fact that two of the beads were nearly impossible to get (the race and the final Blockhead).That said, a wonderful puzzle game with good action, PLENTY of sidequests, difficult enemies, and lots of fun as well. The second playing, I finished in about half the time (I knew what I was doing), got 98 of 100 beads, unlocked all the specials, got the expensive items/weapons, fed most of the animals, and having met people 2 or three times in order to do the above, really became attached to even the minor ppl so that when that scene came that they were showing all the folks praying to Okami I had tears streaming down my face. Since I’m a guy who is not that prone to emotional outbursts, I can say this is a pretty good game.Graphics: 5/5 (Ink painting atmosphere lends alot of value over the typical graphics)Fun: 6.5/5 (They could have cut HALF of the sidequests out, and it still would have been a good game)Challenge: 4.5/5 (Technically, the challenge is about 1.5/5, since the actual playing of the game is such that you almost can’t die. However, the last boss can burn alot of golden peaches or bones or w.
