I have to agree with you.
When I played the game for the first time the opening film annoyed me too.
The dialoques and the language was something that annoyed me too.
But that changed though;..I loved the dialogues now and the same for the language :).
And heck I can see the opening film now without feelig bored. I just love it.
About the rest well I had the PS2 version so I didn't have any problems with the controls.
Strange that people always said 'Okami should be a Wii game!!' 'It is sad that the devs didn't worked it well out or gave you the option to change the controls.
