I would get the Wii version if I was you,  I don't know how it is over there but you can't find Okami PS2 over here anymore..

I will get this game, it's one of my next purchases
never got the Ps2 one... cause I never owned a Ps2

@ Hawkeye : The Wii version is amazing. The PS2 version is amazing. I much prefer the Wii, but you can't lose with either.

Hey Shams, do you know the Oz release date off hand?  Hanging out for this game.

according to Nintendo Australia website its out now?

Is that a error?

I played this game on PS2. Got to the castle where Orochi dwells. I didn´t like the game that much. I felt it was pretty linear, didn´t like that much the graphic style, and above all... detested the damn combat system!

However, I don´t know of other people in the game noticed this, but... don´t you think the minigame where you have to dig through obstacles using your powers was really really great??

More fun than the rest of the game.

Mmm... I really do need to get my hands on this game. It's on my birthday list... so... it's only a matter of time.

...

However... I will be trading in BWii and DBZ: T2 tomorrow. With that and some extra moniez, I could get Okami... or Mario Kart Wii. Ah, choices... Still, I'm working on No More Heroes as we speak. So maybe I'll stick with a multiplayer game such as MK for now and go with Okami after I finish NMH.

*sigh* Too many games, not enough time.

I know it was originally scheduled for a June 12th release but heard something about it being pushed back to the 27th, i think. You are right though, Nintendo of Australia still has the 12th of June date on their website but i have learned over the years never to trust those guys.

I'm in China at the moment so i was hoping one of the Oz guys had walked into a store in the last few days and could confirm whether it was already released or at least if the date has been fixed.

I am about 6-7 hours into this game myself. The Wii version is the only one that I have played and it is one of the best video games I have ever played. I love the art style and the controls are almost perfect. The brush is so easy and fluid with the Wiimote. You need to get this game.

I know. Thank God though. Remember this time last year? The drought of '07?
