The PS2 version is $20 new and $18 used.

The Wii version is $25 new. So I don't know which version to go after considering I never played this game yet on either platform.

I know the Wii controls are a new thing, so should I get the PS2 or Wii version.

From what I've played, it comes down to a few differences. Graphically, the Wii version is sharper, but the PS2 version has more of the filter and bloom effects that make Okami so...beautiful, for lack of a better term.

The Wii's pointer controls make drawing a breeze rather than a chore, but the waggle to attack controls take a bit of getting used to. Also , the nunchuk's motion sensor blows in detecting motion, so the sidestep is nearly useless.

Others can chime in with other differences. Personally, I prefer the Wii version, but not by a whole lot.

 

 

I agree every single thing stated here by noname.  The nunchuck sidestep move is worthless but, besides for that, the controls on the Wii version are excellent. 

You could sidestep?  0_o

 

 

No you couldn't.  That's the problem.  It was an upgrade that you could buy at the temple.  If you moved the Nunchuck to the left or right, forward or backward, you were supoosed to do a leap in that direction.  It registered correctly about one in two times. 

I think I did buy that, but used it rarely for the aforementioned reasons.
