Finished it Saturday just gone, it was truly amazing! :tfr9a7wg:

Pretty much everything about it was brilliant, the graphics, the character design, the music, the level desgin, all of it.

My only criticism is that it was a little easy.

I would have also liked it to be longer, but with that extra length comes more chances to mess it up, so i guess its just right (i clocked it in 42hrs).

:ONglasses:

I have Okami artbook and it is a art piece , wonderful draws, wonderful desings, everything about this game seems great.
But the game isnt out on spain yet :/

sorry to revive this old topic, but I just got the game. I'm now 3:30 into it and loving every minute of it. It's not that difficult, but that's great for player like me who don't have much expierence with these types of games.

The only downside is the lack of vocals.. it would be much better if all the written text was spoken in Japanese (or perhaps English) instead of this mumbling.

Tuffty · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2007, 06:32:26 PM »

I don't mind the mumbling so much. And English dialog would completely ruin the illusion of the game for me IMO. I'm about 30+ hours into it and still playing, though I don't think I have much left to do, maybe. But I love it.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #25 on:** July 04, 2007, 07:30:19 PM »

yeah the mumbling isn't so bad.. I'm now 8 hours into it and it's very addicting.

In most reviews I read, they say it's too easy. That might be so, but for noobs like me it's just perfect. I like a game in which I can make progress steadily and not have to look hours for some item or something..
The controls are also great.. auto aiming in the battle screens and the fact that you can use the map while walking are very handy.

Yeah that 'it's too easy' criticism is a bit silly. Zelda games get the same criticism but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're brilliant games too. Besides, there's a few bosses I've encountered that are actually quite challenging.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #27 on:** July 16, 2007, 06:53:06 PM »

I just finished the game! It took me 34 hours (in 13 days).

Some things:
1. If the game ended at 40%, after the first killing of Orochi it would've been enough. I didn't care so much for the coastal area, Sei-An city and the north..
2. The bosses being recycled at the end was kinda unnecessary and the final boss looked kinda stupid..
3. I wish I could roam the lands after finishing to look for the missing clovers, stray beads, wanted lists and animals... I know I can start over with my inventory intact, but still.. it kinda sucks the option isn't there like it is in for instance GTA San Andreas.
4. Overal, still a very cool and original game which is in my top #3 fav games.

I played it for like 30 minutes and i couldn't take it anymore because of the dialog. It just gave me a headache.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #29 on:** July 29, 2007, 09:14:49 AM »

The dialogue is annoying at first, but it kinda gets hypnotising after a while

Tuffty · « **Reply #30 on:** August 13, 2007, 05:21:52 PM »

Just completed it there now. Took me 40 hrs (in 6 months

) I agree with BarrieV, the recycled bosses at the end were unnecessary and the final boss, for all he was made out to be, was [spoiler]a sphere and a hand[/spoiler] I agree that the story after Orochi was pretty unnecessary, but if it had ended at that point, you'd get a hell of a lot of people complaining about the games duration.

But still, it really rocked. One of the most beautiful games I'll ever play. One of the cutscenes before the fight with the final boss was quite touching and it's rare for a video game to do that to me. For those still wondering, it's one.

Liked the song at the end too (the one with actual Japanese vocals lol). The presents from Issun unlockable was a very nice touch I thought. I find it interesting to view artwork of any game and for a game like Okami, it's extra sweet! What's the deal with these incarnations you unlock though?

SomethingWild · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2007, 08:23:51 PM »

They are like costumes.. you can get a fatter wolf, or one without red details, etc.. i think there are like 9 available depending how you did in the game (money recieved, praise received, times dying, things like that..)

I'm working on completing the fish tome, treasure tome and trying to find all the stray beads (which seems impossible, I'm not using any walktrough help).

This game is possibly the most awesome game for the PS2. It's just SO awesome.

It took me 70 hours to complete it, and every minute of it was worth it. I really enjoyed playing this game. I cried at the ending, and that is a very rare thing for me to do.

; I really got attached to Issun, who was like my constant comfort throughout the whole game. I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, it made me sad even though it should have been happy.

;

Overall, it was both easy and awesome at the same time . . a rare combination.

I own this game...I don't like it. Dialogue is annoying...art is nice...but I don't like the game play, though fighting some of the bosses was fun. I played through a lot, but I don't wanna finish it.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #34 on:** October 17, 2007, 07:10:23 PM »

So, I'm about 55 hours in the game (completed the story mode once already, and I'm now just before entering the ark again), but there are still some things unclear to me. If anyone could help me with the following:

1. edit: *found it*
2. What do I have to do with the 5th vase you get over at Shinsu Field? I brought the previous 4 vases to the Guardian Statues, but I can't seem to find a fifth one?
3. When you check the logbook it says "journal", "?" and "Wanted Lists". What does the question mark stand for.. I still can't access that menu..?!

Tuffty · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2007, 06:52:49 PM »

The rumours can be laid to rest. Okami's coming to the Wii

Now there's a no-brainer of a port if ever I saw one.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #36 on:** October 23, 2007, 03:59:14 PM »

Edit: all problems solved *hooray*

4 stray beads to go..

yeah, the game is pretty great, but real easy.
Nothing really hard in the game.
