To me, it was a better Zelda than Zelda:TP. And the art style is simply charming.

On the bad side, its not that well paced and tends to drag on and uselessly repeat itself at times (you'll know when you get there :))

Overall, it's still a very good game, and if you're looking for adventure games on the PS2 you should not miss it.

you should buy it if you like art if you want gameplay it gets repetitive. though its not "The best game ever"

If long games are your thing, go buy it. I couldn't get into at all.

No...

If good games aren't your thing, then I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm currently playing it now on the Wii and it is a great game. I don't think it is quite up to Zelda standards, but I've had fun with it.

Right now I am about 30 hours into the game, and have not played it for a while. I'll force myself to get back into it at some point. I wouldn't let this worry you too much because this same thing happened when I was playing Twilight Princess at about the 40 hour mark. When I started playing that one again it sucked me right in and I felt like finishing it again.

Hold on I've played Okami and beaten it yes it is an excellent game indeed with brillant art style etc.. but do not compare it with Zelda please no please TP is a Zelda Game Okami will never be.

I thought Okami was terrible. Do yourself a favor and buy Godhand instead. Its by the same development team.

At least say it's your opinion. God Hand is awful compared to Okami.

The OP said he wanted an adventure game.  I don't think God Hand is an adventure game.
