Drawing circles, or any shape with a curve in it, is a snap on the Wii. Some of the brush strokes do work better than the PS2's analog controls. It literally took me ten minutes to draw a straight enough line to register as having crossed a name off the list. There's one sequence early in the game where you're tasked with hunting down and killing seven ghostly enemies, then crossing their names off a list as you take down each one. The game has a needlessly strict requirement for keeping your line straight, which is significantly more difficult to do with the Wii remote when compared to the PS2 analog stick. Just drawing the basic slash attack with a straight line across an enemy can be frustratingly imprecise. Being a game whose central gameplay mechanic is to draw shapes and lines on screen with a giant paintbrush, what better implementation could there be than an IR pointing device? In practice, however, using the Wii remote to control the celestial brush can be finicky and brutally unforgiving with some of the simplest strokes in the game.

To put a glib spin on it, there's really only one feature in Okami: the game itself. okamiH2H_480 Features In an era of achievement points and extensive online play, Okami is a throwback to a simpler time when games were singular, story-driven affairs and not enablers for a corporate meta-game. Our searched turned up a wide range of prices, with many listings climbing above the price of a new copy.
