Okami. Greatest game ever!

Posted by David Lindberg on May 21, 2007, 9 a.m.

Hi y�all! You people know the game called Okami? I´m pretty good at it! My cousin just completed it (50 hours, 35 minutes, and 27 seconds… Oh yeah! It´s a pretty long game!) I have also played it for a pretty long time, and I´m pretty good at riddles. If you guys have any questions about it, just ask me! I can tell about all the weapons in the game, (almost) all the monsters, and (of course) I can help you out with ANY riddle you might happen to bump into. I do also have a list with unlockable treasures, and what you have to do in order to get them. If you havent tried it yet, and you want a detailed description/screenshots, you should just look a bit further down on my entry: It says it all.

Description:

—————————————————————-

Hunter, hero, wolf, god. Okami is a Japanese brush painting brought to life; an epic and unique action-filled adventure.

As darkness engulfs the planet, as a demon devours the light and warmth of the sun, as the plants and animals wither and die, there is only one hope… an old legend, an old god – the white wolf – Okami! The wolf god must return to drive out the demon curse and restore life to nature.

The demon Orochi was sealed in the darkness a hundred years ago, defeated by the goddess Amaterasu in the form of a white wolf, using the 13 powers of the 'celestial brush'.

But somehow Orochi has escaped its bonds, cursing the land once more to darkness. Fortunately, one wise tree sprite guarding the tiny village of Kamiki remembered what to do – the sprite brought to life the statue of the heroic saviour of the village, the white wolf, the goddess Amaterasu, the Okami.

Amaterasu can use her 'Celestial Brush' to turn light into darkness, return life to the withered plants and animals and ultimately defeat Orochi, and seal it away again. But Amaterasu is weak for now and has lost most of her powers. Amaterasu must journey the world, battle the demons, regain her powers, confront Orochi and return the world to peace and rightful balance.

Okami, a stunning quest where you, as the wolf god Amaterasu, transform the world you run through. A traditional Japanese brush painting brought to digital life, an epic, action-filled adventure, a unique story based on real Japanese Shinto legends. Unique and brilliant – it's the PS2 game of the year! Okami!

Amaterasu, the god – Combining awesome destructive and restorative powers, you must use all of Amaterasu's abilities to defeat the demons and heal the lands. Fight enemies with tooth and claw in thrilling action sequences, as well as using the divine Celestial Brush to set fire to enemies, then bring nature back to life and transform the world.

Transform the world – Use your "Celestial Brush" to transform the world around you. Pause time and literally paint on the screen, then see the results of your powers. Repair a bridge you need to cross, bring trees back to life or use your powers to slice enemies in half and set fields on fire.

Transform yourself – As you move through the world, restoring nature and helping your worshippers, you'll gain new divine powers and Praise Orbs. Use these to boost Amaterasu's powers – buy new weapons, strengthen Celestial Brush powers or heal wounds – the choice is yours.

Holy artefacts, magical weapons – Use a wide array of magical weapons from close-range swords, including the legendary Blade Of Kusanagi, to long-range magatama beads, as well as divine instruments and holy artefacts to boost Amaterasu's divine powers even further.

A living land – A massive and detailed land that lives and breathes. Explore its vast valleys, high mountains and deep dungeons. Restore nature and see the land blossom. The land and its people change over time – return at different hours to access different and secret quests.

I think the most fascinating thing with this game, is the fact, that it´s made like a old japanese painting. It also includes many histories and legends from japanese mythology. So if you like dragons ninjas (or ultimo slow-motion fights) you should try out this game… For sure!

The thing with the graphics is, that it´s made like a old japanese painting. That´s why the edges of the objects looks like they does.
