I've been playing off and on since 11 as well. Phenominal.

Has anyone noticed the similarities in the cell shading graphic style to Viewtiful Joe (also a Capcom game)? VJ is nowhere nearly as pretty or artisic, it's actually kind of ugly even though the game is phenominal (though not on the same level as Okami). But there's something about the way the drawn edges look at the borders that remind me of VJ in an abstract way. Also the was 3d objects are flat. Even the way slow motion comes into play in some of the battle scenes.

Back on topic, Okami is so far above and beyond the hype. If you have any doubts about this as a must purchase, drop 'em and just get the game. The Wii needed an epic game at this level, even though it is a PS2 port. If all PS2 ports were this good, I would have much less of an issue with ports. This one's as strong as the RE4 GC/PS2 port.

Viewtiful Joe was made by Clover actually. The similarities are to be expected all things considered.

So I am on the fence about this game, and perhaps you people can sway me. As of now I am leaning towards not getting it because the brush stroke feature sounds annoying to me. What exactly do you need to use it for, and is it possible to combat enemies effectively without it.

I had the same thoughts, but I actually like to fight while using the brush now, trow a bomb there cut the bastard, really rewarding. If you don't like it though you can also fight the same way you did in TP, which means waggle (and im perfectly fine with that aswell)

Just get it, you will do yourself a great service.
