Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Overall a really great gameThis 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. Rating: - Spectacular, fun, and original game.I'm about half-way through this game (missed it in it's original form on ps2 as I never had one) and I'd seriously have gladly paid more than $50 for the wonder, joy, and fun I've had so far in my 25 hours of play. This is a fantastic game with art, style, controls, ideas, and goals like nothing you've ever seen before. The artwork is incredible -- like a living, breathing Japanese watercolor scroll. The action is exciting and challenging, but at the same time "wholesome" and "family ... Read More Rating: - Japanese Mythology and Art brought to lifeWhile few have likely played this game, far less than the PS2 version, a lot of good things can be said about Ookami, or Ôkami as printed upon the box. First, it is a solid adventure, taking the player through a sort of version of ancient Japan. Demons and beasts from Japanese Mythos confront the player often, and the battle style is often fast paced and lively. The Wii version could easily be called a little more difficult to play at first, with the combination attacks on the WiiMote made a ...

The brush can be a bit temperamental at times but that has not been a huge thing for me. If you want fun then go for this one! Rating: - very good, but not quite greatI really wanted to like this game. Having been a huge fan of Zelda Twilight Princess on the Wii, and of this genre of games in general, I had high hopes for Wii Okami. And it really does have its moments that lived up to expectations. But it simply runs out of steam towards the end. The story gets too convoluted, and the final boss is RIDICULOUS in the LAME sense of the word. I don't want to write any spoilers, but that thing was just plain dumb. In fact, Im still not really sure what it was supposed ... Read More |
