nothing short of breath taking, capcom at its best here ladies and gentlemen

The artwork in this game is just brilliant but what got me hooked onto this game was really the brush techniques (which is something unique and not found in other titles) as well as the floral finishers.

the only downpoint about this game is that about halfway through – it gets rather easy, mainly because you hardly ever run out of ink and consumables are cheap to get.

All in all – 5 stars from me

I've never seen anything quite like this, imagine a game where you come across a wide river with no way across – the usual mode of thought is to look for a bridge, or way to make a bridge right? Well, in Okami, you press a button which makes your screen turn a different colour – and use your controller to paint a bridge… release the button and voila, a bridge appears – continue on…!

Okami is full of life, colour and amazing art design (combat works by freezing the game and using your “brush” to slice through enemies, you can even chop down trees and random scenery)

It's a magical place to be and certainly a game that – while may not be to everyone's taste – is definitely a unique experience, highly recommended for teen & adult alike
