Okami

So it's out and looks awesome. Heard there is a hefty amount of game too (like 30 hours). I can't get it quite yet but pretty soon. Anyone get this yet? Does it actually kick that much ass?

this see how long this thread goes without someone using the words:

-beauty
-artistic
-sublime
-stylish
-Ico

starting....now!

anyway, it looks pretty cool, but it aint coming out here til next year, which is a shame. whats the actual gameplay like? sort of like zelda, but you slice enemies with a paintbrush or something?

I don't have it but it's next on my list. My buddy says it is, uh, sublime, stylish, and artistic. ;)

Is Okami the game where you play as a wolf and the screen looks like it would've been painted?

Yeah, if you mean the screen "looks like it's been painted," Finn. >:

It's fucking awesome. Everything from exploration, music, sidequests, battles, whatever, are done extremely well. Of course this biggest thing about this game is the artistic style is uses, which goes to show that you don't need photorealistic graphics in order to be impressive. I can not put this game down.

We've been talking about this over at my site too and I'm jealous of everyone who has it. I have to try and make myself wait til early October to buy this. I buy too many toys. :(

Just found this:

1. Go to http://www.o-kami.jp/
2. After the intro, click the bottom box in the main circle of links. It has an 8-bit pic of Amaterasu on it.
3. It should load Kamiki Village (first village in the game), but in ye-olde graphics.
4. Clicking on people and skipping past the japanese text should allow you to download 8-bit versions of the game's soundtrack!!! :D

I'm also 36+ hours into the game, and NOT CLOSE TO DONE YET :eek
Granted, I did spent a few hours on sidequests, but whoa.
