PS2 game for a PS3

Okami - Playstation 3 

Well have you seen it? There is no way to describe the artwork that is this game. It is unique, it is beautiful. It is spectacular. The artwork in this game is something to admire, it makes the game its own and different.

The story of Okami is beautiful, interesting and full of life and colour. The story follows Okami Amaterasu as she learns her brush techniques back which she lost. The story is intricate and full of live, there are many different side stories that help build up the main story. It follows Okami as she learns her thirteen celestial brush techniques and defeating evil on their way.

Okami Amaterasu is the main character in the story with her faithful companion Issun the wandering artist. Despite Okami never actually speaking in the game she is a symbol of hope, loyalty and courage for the player. By the end of the game you feel like you are the mother of them all.

Issun, Okami faithful companion, is a wandering artist know as a Ponkle. He follows Okami as he wants to learn the brush techniques. Issun does all the talking for Okami interacting with other characters. Issun makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you care. He has a thing for the ladies and is helpful during gameplay.

The gameplay is unique in Okami. The combat style is different with the brush techniques which provide a wide range from bombs, to power slash to water and fire. With all of these it makes combat fun and enjoyable, it made me want to go into the arenas not run away from them.

The map is extensive with caves, forests and islands to explore the techniques allow you to explore in high areas and secret caverns. The world is beautiful with the blossoming trees, the grass that grows as you run and the sea and rivers that are flowing throughout the world.

The music in the game is beautiful to listen to, each combat and fight comes with the music. Its simple nothing too complicated for the game. The little tunes that play when you complete a fight and kill enemies make you feel satisfied.

10/10

There is nothing wrong in this game. The gameplay is unique and fun, the story is long, varied and with plenty of side missions to keep you occupied. A PS2 game that has been redone for the better!
