Edge, you said:

"Okami is definitely better on Wii"

In what ways?

Edge and GG, I definitely concede that when we compare TP and Okami, Zelda is better with keeping the player going. The only momentary exception is the beginning of TP, which is torturously slow. As to length, segmentation, and stuff like that, if I hadn't already watched the GS review of Okami, I would have been under the impression that it ends after the Orochi fight.

I haven't played the PS2 version, from what I've seen and heard the visuals are clearer and more vibrant, obviously the brushwork is faster and more intuitive and natural. But also, you can skip those annoying cutscenes. I'm on my first playthrough and have skipped a few overlong BS bits of chit chat. I don't think there is that much difference though but EDGE will proabably know more than me. Okami is weird that it does feel segmented, it's not like you finish a chapter and move on towards the end of the book. It feels like you end the book and go on the epilogue. Just weird.  

The game is supposed to look like old Japanese art--it wasn't supposed to look like the Wii version, with its vibrant graphics. I don't know about it being more clear, but I think I have heard that the draw distance was increased for the Wii version, which is good, but it's not something I really care about. Neither is lack of widescreen support or whatever for the original version, since I only have an SDTV.

The brushwork might be faster and more intuitive (I get along just fine with analog), but at the cost of other controls. Rolling and attacking are more hassling and difficult in the Wii version. So I think the original version wins out here, as there's nothing wrong with its controls at all.

You can skip at least some cutscenes in the PS2 version. Not sure if you have to beat the game first, though.

But in addition to the control and graphical aspects, which are superior and more fitting in the PS2 version, respectively, there's also the issue of the game's ending, which I've also mentioned before: the entire ending was cut, aside from the bit right after the final boss. The credit sequence is gone, as is the epilogue or whatever one wants to call it. When you finish the game, you should look for a video of the ending on YouTube.

The Wii version just seems seriously gimped to me. Even Nintendo Power recommended the original over the Wii version.

I've heard other people say the same about the graphics.

I'm can't decide which to get, widescreen and 480p, or ceaper game!

Snoopy DS FTW

Well, GG, to each his own. Personally, I prefer to have a complete game with no control issues, and that's what the PS2 version gives me. I also don't mind the resolution and lack of widescreen, since I don't own an HDTV.

Anyway, what's most important is that you're playing a really great game and having fun, right?

And thanks for the recognition of my divinity... "God Beaver" and all.

Well using an analogue stick as a makeshift paint brush sounds like a pretty big issue to me.

I meant to call you Devil Beaver damn you!

I understand, in a lot of the reviews a lot of the guys complain about how the wii celestial brush is not accurate as they keep making mistakes. Again this is poor reviewing and the descructoid guy hits it on the head. Most people dont realise that if you you press Z rather than A to paint you get those straight lines. Some people try pressing both and screw things up. Or just don't draw well enough by completing their circles. You can even get away with drawing some squished up circles and as long as you complete them they get recognised so some of these reviewers must be really shitty.

I can definitely understand on the combat side. I think that waggle just replaces the attack button like in twilight princess and there is a case of timing which makes it more difficult. But like the reviews mention, combat is so easy it's not a problem, you dont eve need that dodge move. One of the things that I think was mentioned in one of the reviews was that because using the brush in the wii version was so effortless, you constantly whop it out in combat where it would be laboured using a stick doing the same in combat.

I'm in the snow area now. Those are some freaky looking bears I think I may be stuck, I can't... oh yeah I enter this village and no one lets me into their huts and the guy at the top wont let me see the chief and I have no idea what I'm suppossed to be doing now

You suck.

To be honest, I had more trouble with the brush stuff on the PS2. There were times when I'd have to sit there and try the same thing 50 times before it recognised what I wanted to do, which is ridiculous. On Wii I've had a few times where I had to try things 4 or 5 times, but that's about it.

I still feel as though Clover didn't make the brush stuff as intuitive as it should be, considering its a major part of the design. When you do the same exact thing over and over, and it finally succeeds on the last try, something is fucked up.

GG....admit it. You made out with that chick in your Bully sig an unhealthy amount of times.

Oh wow, has anyone read this?

Battalion wars maker kuji pitched to sega back in 2006 for making a wii Jet set radio

And there is the concept art too. Interesting, Kuju's BW team has rebranded to Headstrong games and continue to work on Wii and in partnership with Sega for an upcoming game. This could really be happening.

I made out with everyone. The fat chick the snob GUY, the braces girl, the cheerleader. Everyone. Hell I would have done Gary given the chance

I need to find some decent bully art to make a decent sig. SteelAttack should do it for me for mocking me with his each to his own comments. It's like a knife stabbing through butter.

My heart is made of butter, that is how fat I am.

That dude in the lower left hand side of your sig scares me. What's with his face?

Mmmmmm, devil beaver....

I'm getting tired of waggle for attacking. Square button all the way, baby!

In the snowy village, try going all the way up to the house by the big doorway. There's a lady in there with birds on her mask that I think you need to talk to.
