Well thanks for this thread as I was thinking of picking this up for the Wii.

Now seeing as how it got great scores and has glitches, freezing, portions of the ending cut out, etc... I think it is safe to assume we can not trust any reviews these days. Didn't this game get 9-9.5 ratings?

I had to restart a 10 rated game in GTA IV because it locked up on me... about 15 or so hours in. Just locks up as the game is loading up. Now how does GTA IV get a 10? That is a pretty big issue. Not to mention it takes forever to load up to begin with.

Reviews are mean to give us all the info we need in order to make a purchase, not a half assed review based on 20 minutes of play. They leave so much out because many times they are paid to do so.

Very disappointed. :(

Is it still worth picking up for the PS2? I would have preferred 16x9 Widescreen but PS2 version does not have that option correct?

 I'm not getting any lock-ups on my copy of Okami.  I hadn't heard about them until this rant from Onimusha.  In fact, after a google search, I see a couple of threads about it where the majority of people are saying "it works fine' with just a few saying 'it locks up'.  It sounds like for the people it does lock up for, it locks up all the time, andeveryone else is fine.  It sounds to me like a problem with their Wiis, not with the game... but I'm no expert.  Just know that these lockups aren't typical.  Disclaimer: I assume the same is with the supposed GTA4 lockups which I also haven't experienced (although in that case, it's because I don't own a PS3/360). Its probably just a random, isolated event and has no relation to the game's software.

Also, I love the controls, and think they work wonderfully.  I wouldn't call them cheap or lazy at all, and have had no problems with them at any point in the game.  They do require some dexterity, but we're gamers, right?  We should have decent twitch muscles
