Even the story makes it clear that the developers have been working with a lot of love and passion in the game. The story promises excitement and entertainment at the beginning.
Particularly positive is the entry-friendliness: the first area of the game is a sort of introduction.
The protagonists are presented dramatically and at the same time humorous and individual tasks are always well explained. The annoying but also sympathetic and humorous companion Issun hops, in the truest sense of the words, Amaterasu on the nose. This helps Ammy, the use of his nickname for the heroine, in any position. He also serves as a mouthpiece for the environment. Ammy alone can but agree, for example, by growling, scratching and barking. The latter even by the players themselves, to query also the state about health, Yen etc..
In the introduction, the player learns how to deal with Ammy: by shaking the Wii Remote rams Ammy as vases and chests and finds useful things as life energy and Yen. Furthermore, the player learns to know the wall jump and so on. There is much to discover.
But innovative and formative for the game is the use of the divine brush. At the beginning the player learns how to handle the brush: by pressing and holding the B button appears a parchment and the player can now, using the A-button, paint in this. To repair such as a bridge, the player simply paints a bridge. Issun tells the players that there is a total of 13 different brush techniques, without which one can not expel them from the land of evil. And he does not go more before he has not seen and learned all! :)
Especially nice is the technique in bringing the country to flourish.
And in movement unfolds the beauty and perfection of Okami.
If it comes in to fight Okami automatically builds an arena. Demons appear waiting to be bashed it. The variety of enemies is enormous. To ensure that every opponent has its own weakness. Added the ability to use different weapons, brush and fighting skills and magic to defeat these and thus to refuel money and life energy. Weapons obtained for example by defeating bosses, fighting techniques are learned in the dojo for a fee. The brush techniques you learned during the game by the player completes the various constellations in the sky. Here I would not go into it because Issun that explains perfectly. :) Do Not Worry! No brush technique you'll miss!
So it is never boring. Apropos never boring: the side quests are not just a nice change. For doing these tasks lucky points and rewards beckon. This this means that you as the life indicator, the indicator >> inkwell
In Okami so there is extremely a lot to discover and resolve. Various venues and their tasks and secrets to be discovered and solved.
I had the feeling that the story would go on forever. When I first had the feeling that it would come to an end but now, it went on - to my relief. Shortly before the end of the game it was still that waiting a lot of adventures, but then it was time to say goodbye. Saying goodbye to a truly divine game!
With about 35 hours, I finished the game, but all the side quests and secrets etc. I have not yet mastered / found. But this will be resolved soon and found because Okami has also commonly seen, a high re-play value >> If you play the game for the first time through, then there is a nice surprise: a gift! More I will not tell. :)
Graphics and soundtrack
---------------------
The ink look is not only curious and innovative. The look convinced fully and makes the game even more attractive. Without motion everything seems somehow to look washed out. This does not mean that Okami without movement looks bad or anything. See the images without motion class, but in motion unfolds Okami beauty and perfection. Beautifully to watch is the blossoming of trees and landscapes.
The Japanese soundtrack is a musical treat at its finest: from quiet and gentle sounds to fast and powerful tones. Alone Amaterasus victory howl makes the heart beat faster. The soundtrack is simply superb!
Control
----------
The control using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk been well implemented. Here and there, there were times some brush problems, but the game was fair. One example: a large tree should >> using the brush technique blooming
Good mix of casual and core elements
--------------------------------------------
Casual (casual gamers) and intensive player (core gamers) come in Okami their money's worth: beginner friendly (tutorial where you will be made, for example, with the controls; clear tasks that can be viewed in the Game menu at any time again, etc. ) and many storage points for example allow the casual gamers familiar access to the game to gain and stop also times faster with the games. Core gamers will be delighted with the story and the game length and the many side quests and secrets will tie him to the screen. Both types of players will get their money! The mixture makes it up! Graphics, soundtrack and characters come to general super.
