nate's Ōkami (PlayStation 2) review

didn't sweep me off my feet

The game's visuals are what drew me in, and I still love the art style. It's unique, amazing - beautiful.

As soon as I'd think I'd freed the world from the dark curse, the curse would appear somewhere else and we'd do the same thing all over again. I can only save the world so many times, and after logging forty hours with no sense of whether or not it will end soon, I'm getting sick of it. Still, for those who love Zelda like adventure/RPGs this one is worth checking out.

And that flaw -- whether it be a big one or a small one -- keeps it from being perfect. This is especially true for videogames, as they possess a wide variety of possible problems, and at least one of 'em can be found in any game. Because of that, I had gotten used to the fact there would never be a perfect game. But in 2006, that changed. As tha...
