![]() The brush jerks around on screen, and I sit there, unable to control it, hurling obscenities at the game. ![]() I can’t count the number of times where I tried to use the celestial brush, only to see the Wii-mote have a seizure. The other thing that really fucks this game is the horrible control mechanism. How many fucking trees do you have to circle anyway? It’s just something they threw in to increase the length of the game, not to make it any more fun. In Okami, you just do the same shit over and over again. In a Zelda game, these scenarios would be innovative. The fishing is annoying, making dead trees come back to life is annoying, and feeding animals is annoying. Okami offers similar things, but all the side quests/mini-games are far too annoying to be any fun. In the Zelda games, Link has a main quest, but there are plenty of side quests and diversions to occupy your time along the way. That’s the thing about Okami, it strives to be a unique, fun experience like Zelda, but fails miserably. “BUT BRIK YOU PLAY AS A WOLF GOD WAHT OTHER GAMES DO YOU NOW ABOUT THAT HAVE HTAT LOL?” It doesn’t matter, just replace the wolf with a short guy wearing green tights, and you have another Zelda clone. The story has also been done to death, offering nothing new whatsoever. The music is bland, uninspiring, pseudo-historical Japanese fare. The graphics are all cel-shaded, which was a cool gimmic back in 2003, but is kind of outdated at this point. Okami has virtually no redeeming qualities. ![]() Now I know what you’re going to say, “BUT BRIK, HTIS GAME IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT TEH BEST PART ARE THE ANIME GRAPHICS LOL.” Before you go ahead and post that just think about this: you are an idiot. Nothing about it makes it stand out from the heaping pile of mediocre titles the video game industry craps out on a monthly basis. I don’t have much to say about Okami, and mostly that is because it is so goddamn average. Beggin’ Strips: Dogs Don’t Know it’s Not Bacon. ![]()
