Well, I hated Okami, so we're in the same boat.
HERECY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
It sucked.
Because Okami is artsy darling of the video game industry (Move over Psychonauts, you had your chance) and to criticise it is to insult the majority of the games-are-art crowd. (Not bashing them, I'm in that crowd myself. It's just Okami is one of their poster-boys)
I quite liked it, the graphics looked gorgeous, the celestial brush was a neat technique, and I loved the fantastically irreverent attitude of it (Ancient Japanaese myths! With spaceships! Two of them! And a blond frenchman with a flute that turns into a lightsaber! Clockwork owl pimps!)
which nonetheless managed to still be reasonably serious and produce one of the longest most emotionally draining boss fights I've played.
That said, the wii-waggle controls were unresponsive, the voice work was irritating, and the dungeon design was somewhat simplistic.
Would you kindly elaborate on "it sucked"?
