Okami hands-on
Revive a broken world in this breathtaking adventure
Aug 16, 2006
Some games, like Shadow of the Colossus or Ocarina of Time, have that intangible "something" that makes them more than just a bunch of polygons thrown up on a screen by a wheezing plastic box. Add one more game to that list. In our eight transcendent hours with Okami, we're already convinced this water-colored adventure will rank among the most unique, beloved fables on the PS2. Okami will affect your life. But this gushing praise wasn't our first impression. You're awoken as a goddess that's » Read Full Okami preview

Jul 18, 2006
Capcom stopped by yesterday to give us another taste of Okami, its stunning-looking Zelda -style adventure game for the PlayStation 2. We've already covered the general gameplay elements and story (you're a goddess in the form of a wolf, trying to bring back life to a world soaked in darkness), but this time, we were able to get a better look at one of the game's most potentially exciting facets: its boss » Read Full Okami preview

Thursday 13 April 2006 We're hungry like the wolf for exciting, original ideas and Okami is one of the most exciting and original PS2 games since Killer 7. Originally announced almost a year ago, Okami's unique visual flair and brilliantly bizarre world is now well on its way to hitting PS2 in the autumn, so we got our hands dirty with an early version of this brilliant-looking title. In Okami you play a wolfish embodiment of Amaterasu, an immensely powerful sun god. A legendary and ruthless » Read Full Okami preview

Are games art? If nothing else, Okami shows they can certainly look the part
Mar 13, 2006
A few years back saw the dawn of cartoon-like cel-shading, which was as nifty as it was soon overused. Now, Capcom is pushing gaming's visual boundaries once again with Okami, a beautiful game that resembles "sumi-e," an ancient Japanese art form. It's one of those cases where we didn't know we wanted something until we saw it, and now we really, really want it. Okami means "wolf" in Japanese, and so you play the role of a white canine who's actually the earthly incarnation of the sun god » Read Full Okami preview
