Even when back then it was a good game, and even when probably it's still a good game, that doesn't removes the facts that it's a cheap cash-in port from a Playstation 2 game. I'm sure they took out some points because of that.

7.5 might be because the press builds of Okami were not yet complete, they didn't even have the rice paper. At least I hope that's why....

BAM! There it is!

What do people expect from Okami anyway? It looks a little better and controls a little better than the 2-year old PS2 version. Absolutely no new content. 7.5 - 8.0 sounds about right to me.
