Personal expression in Okami.
07.17.07 / 09:38PM / Joe / comments: 1

The other night I got to the bit in Okami where you have to draw your own imp mask. Does my creation look familiar?

This is one hell of a game. It has that open-world exploration that I love, plenty of collectible sidequests, a compellingly weird-ass game mechanic, and some beautiful art direction. I'm a little miffed that Wind Waker goes all cutesy and everybody hates it, but this game waltzes in with a near-identical visual tone and it's IGN's Best PS2 Game of All Time, but there you go.

I'm 20 hours in, and the storyline just seemingly ended... or did it? I have about two-thirds to go, I think. Very classy play.

I can't believe this game only sold 200,000 copies in North America and a staggeringly pathetic 66,000 copies in Japan. Those Japan numbers are enough to make somebody take a leap out a window. No wonder Capcom shut down Clover Studio, the subdivision that created this masterpiece. Jesus, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers moved over a million NES carts back in the day.

As a proud owner of Rescue Rangers for the NES, I can only hold my head up high because I ALSO happen to own (and love) Okami.

Glad you're into it, too.

SO good.
