Aside from Kingdom Hearts, this is my favorite game.
For those that don't know: You play as the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu, who takes the form
of a majestic white wolf. Along with your tiny sidekick Issun, you must use the Celestial Brush to
paint nature back to how it was and battle evil demons.

For people that have played it: What did you think of it? Did you like the art? And are you psyched
for the DS sequel, Okamiden?

I love this game as well. It is one of the most beautiful and creative games I've ever played! It's unique in its own way and I think everyone who loves to draw or even art in general should've played this game at least once 8D

Ah! Another fan! I was begining to think I was the only one.

But yeah, the art is amazing. It's what drew me to it in the first place. Luckily the gameplays awesome, too.

oooh, why did I just see this topic?! </3
I love this game. CX
I agree with you on the art work, stunning.

OMG Okami has to be another one of my most fav games. The storyline is so epic and I love the whole idea of the brush techniques to get you through the game. I've completed it a few times and the other fur outfits for Amerteratsu are awesome ;D

oops sorry that posted twice without me doing anything D:

Best. Game. Ever. Hands down.

Beautiful animation, perfect storyline, most loveable characters ever, and the gameplay is just gorgeous. The ending made me bawl so bad. I actually cried like, the entire time. From before getting into the final dungeon, and then during the final boss fight, and after the final boss fight. I am totally going to play it again soon.

I have never played it before, but I heard it's fantastic =)
I wish I could play it at least once >_<

I heard that there could be a second one, I would LOVE it if they made it into an anime 8D
I love Issun, he's so funny and he bounces everywhere lol I love that level where you have to shrink and Issun looks big ;o And you have to save the bamboo princess whilst being incredibly tiny. I adore the artwork in that game and I've completed it a gizzilion times xD Never get bored of it.

Ooo thats great to hear! Sadly I don't have a DS anymore Dx But I guess if I could get pokemon on the PC I can do it with Okamiden too x)

*Totally just saw this topic almost a month later*
Okami is AMAZING !! I love the part with the moons and everything. I played it just about 1, or 2 years ago for ps2. Amazing game

Ahem... Excuse me while I go fangirl squeel.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I think that explained how much I love this game ^_^

Okay, my friend Chloe from tumblr has been talking about this and swears that I'd love it; would anyone mind explaining the basics to me? I'd like to get into it (since I have a PS2 8D [no DS though]) and see if I really am going to like it before I go spend money, hahaha. (:

Well...
(Parden if facts are out of order... Reading Wiki XD)

Okami's made by capcom, and is set in ancient Japan and combines many of the folklore (such as the Zodiac, Gods/Godesses, etc) to base the game around.
The main character is Amateratsu, who took the form of a white wolf (much like Shiranui, born 100 years earlier) and is a sun godess. Another main character is Issun, a artist who's as small as a bug. Those are the people you'll mostly see throughout the game, with the exception of a certain prophet, but I'm not gonna spoil that
So, for the gameplay, besides running around and fighting like in most RPGs you have the Celestial brush. I think that's one thing people love about the game, because it's unique. Pretty much, when you open it you can draw on the screen with a paintbrush in a certain pattern to perform a miracle-type thing (such as reviving plants, strong with, sun/moon).
The game's art is more like a painting than a 3-D game, and the settings, music, and story follows the Japanese history aspect of things.

Wow... I made that sound a little too professional, for me anyway. But I hope that helped!
