Review/Rant: I played this game for the first time in December 2008; a couple of years after its release on the PS2. Even at this age of next gen games, this one is surprisingly still fresh. It doesn't feel outdated like some other games of its generation. As a matter of fact, I think its beautiful graphics are on par with some of the best games you find on the PS3 or the Xbox 360. The graphics are simply stunning. The gameplay will feel familiar to anyone who played a 3D Zelda game but still adds enough innovative game mechanics like the Celestial Brush to further perfect the winning Zelda formula. Combine these stellar graphics and excellent gameplay with one of the best soundtracks you'll ever hear in a game, and you have yourself a true masterpiece. This is also a huge game. When I say huge I mean HUUUGE. Seriously, I spent around 80 hours playing this game in my first playthrough and enjoyed every second. The game can be finished in 30 hours but you'll miss out on a lot of what it has to offer. I'm a perfectionist so I had to do everything and get every single collectible in the game. What's important is that collecting things in Okami is actually fun.
Closing Comment: If you have yet to play Okami, I highly recommend that you do. It's a masterpiece that every gamer should experience.
This game in one word: Beautiful
