This game uses the full power of the PlayStation 2, rendering these beautiful graphics with no screen tearing. Clover Studio and Capcom used a cel shaded art style to make the environment, Amaterasu, and other characters look like a painting. The game is renowned for its art style, which mimics a Japanese watercolor painting. Once you run out of ink, you'll need to refill it before you can draw again. The Celestial Brush acts like magic in other games and is a finite resource. You'll learn these brush patterns by drawing constellations at specific points in the game.

Pop over to our Okami PS2 review to see why we are so excited about it all.Okami for the PlayStation 2 can combine the action adventure feel of Zelda with the style of a Japanese painting. There are still several systems getting set up properly but there's most definitely a Wii-driven Amaterasu running around Wii-rendered environments as we speak," concluded Svensson. "As it stands today, the team has the game assets converted (quite the laborious process), up and running in a ported version of Clover's engine. So far work on Okami Wii is going swimmingly, and Svensson is confident it will be in (US) shops by next spring. The Wii version has no new content as Capcom feels it is big enough already, but alongside the new and naturally fitting motion-sensing controls Svensson hinted we may see some technical nips and tucks. "The project was far too important to do anything other than applying the utmost TLC if we were going to be successful." "This was never going to be a quick turn and burn cash in." proclaimed Svensson.

He added: "The bulk of our core audience was thinking about new platforms. For Svensson, this was a problem bought about by the choice of platform. You may remember us giving Okami top marks on PS2, but despite our - and many others - singing and dancing it failed to fly off of shop shelves. "Okami Wii specifically exists because of that direct communication, especially those we receive on our message boards (even if they're sometimes mean to us)." "Even before the Okami's PS2 release, the media and Capcom fans would constantly ask us if it was ever going to come to Wii, citing the interface as being ideal for the brush mechanics," chirped Svensson. He was chatting openly on the official US blog, praising you lot for being so tenacious and helping prove there was an appetite for it. Capcom business development boss Christian Svensson has revealed that Okami Wii would never had been made if you lot hadn't belly-ached about it.
