The game draws on Japanese myths to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Sun Goddess, taking the physical form of a white wolf. The environment is an animated watercolor and ink styled, cel-shaded delight for the eyes and the gameplay a mix of action, platform, and puzzle gaming genres.
For a re-release, the HD version scored an extraordinary 90% from 39 critic reviews on Metacritic.
Quote of the Bunch:
Okami HD is a great example of what games can accomplish outside the realm of guns and gore, and I love it for that. Machinima
Reviews Summary.
An experience that should not be missed, ahead of its time with its initial release.
A timeless classic, full of charm, subtle ingenuity, and beauty, remade in stunning HD.
Sad to see that after six years it is still one of the best examples of its genre.
The true vision of the creators has seemingly been realized, in glorious 1080p high definition.
Just as good of a game today as it was six years ago.
An essential part of any collection, especially in this flawless, gorgeous reissue.
Shows some signs of aging, it remains an awe-inspiring experience like no other.
Even more potent today than it was in 2006, Okami is Zelda's one and only match

A good game, but the game as it has been common in the play, there are many kind of RPG game more exciting and challenging, like dragon age and the like: D
Thanks for taking the time to comment. You are correct, many games offer more challenge and excitement. For me though Okami visuals moved the media into realm of art. That is still for me it's defining contribution to gaming history.
This message is very useful for me. thanks for your valuable information.
