Okami for PS2 - thoughts

sooo....

i go to gamerankings.com all the time, basically just to check out how games are doing, etc etc

so, to my surprise, i see that okami, a game i had never heard of before, has an average score of 93%. i read the bio, and it's an adventure game for ps2 in the likes of zelda. bam, ordered. i need a good controller game like that til twilight princess comes out.

i usually don't buy games like bam, but this time, i saw the graphics, and heard about a filter, so okay, i'm down, sounds like it could be spiritually successing ico or shadow of the colossus (everyone, do what you need to do, own these two games. if games can be art, those games are. if they can't, then those games are the most artistic games ever. plus tons of fun.)

so, then i find out the main character is a wolf. oh okay. not what i expected. but it's already in the mail from amazon (40$ with free shipping, so whatev, i'm paid nuff).

so my question is: anybody played it? heard anything about from people other than reviews?

also, i love gamerankings.com anybody else here use it/like it/hate it?

ico was crap man, i played the demo of it wayy back. bored the hell out of me, saw very little of shadow of the colossus, but whatever to that. im a FF fan largely, love the games for the graphics and awesome storyline. gonna google okami now.

well, the game looks very different being done japanese cartoony style, i would try it, but its not worth 40 quid imo, if it was like 20 however, thats different.

i'm sorry you didn't like the demo

to me, it is the best game on the ps2. i loved the puzzles, and the story, as mysterious as it was. the thing that really hooked me into it tho, was the lack of hud. it was like a movie. a glorious 8 hour long movie. that was so so so much fun.

if you didn't live in england, i would ship you the game on the basis that you shipped it back after you finished it.
