In the first one, which is the one the Wii version uses, push the X-button just as each of Amaterasus paws appears, and theyll become larger.

In either one, you can play a mini-game or sorts to earn Demon Fangs while the game is loading. In fact, there are actually two different kinds. However, if you play the PS2 version, youll notice that the loading screens are a bit different. You may not have noticed anything about them because I edit most of them out. The Wii version lets you skip cutscenes and dialog by pressing +. For the record, I loathe unskippable cutscenes I like to play through games more than once! Plus, if you whiff something and have to load your save game or try again, its nice to not have to go through all the dialog you already saw. You can mitigate this somewhat but leaving a separate save file at the River of the Heavens, but still. However, on subsequent playthroughs, its just obnoxious. (The one thats a good 20 minutes long? Yeah, that one!) This isnt an issue when you first play the game, since youll want to watch it anyway. In the original, cutscenes were unskippable. It makes the game look even more like a painting.Īdvantage- Neither. Personally, I prefer the sharpness of the Wii version, but the textured background was a nice thematic touch. The Wii version doesnt have the textured filter, but the graphics are a bit sharper and the colors brighter. The graphics are also blurrier overall (remember- its supposed to look like a watercolor painting). The filter makes the background look textured, like paper. On the PS2 version, theres a filter over the graphics. However, there is still one key visual difference. The Wii can display it at higher resolution, but thats not an issue unless youre actually playing it on a PS2, rather than the PS3. The game looks beautiful on both systems. Okamiden would get the prize for best Celestial Brush controls, if this LP included it. This is pure genius and the best of both worlds! The Brush controls are precise like on the PS2, and quick and natural like on the Wii. Note: In Okamiden, the DS sequel to Okami, the Celestial Brush is controlled with the stylus. I havent played the PS2 version so I dont think I should be the one to call it. Ostensibly, this makes it easier to draw a straight line, but Ive never gotten it to work properly. Now, on the Wii version, you can actually lock the Brush in a horizontal position by holding the Z-button. The PS2 analog controls are more precise, and its easier to make circles and straight lines, but they can also be a bit slow and clunky. Still, considering how often you use the Power Slash ( all the time), it is something to keep in mind. This can also be problematic with Power Slash, but I find it helps immensely to just go slowly. Its more difficult to make straight lines and circles with the Wii-mote (as youve seen with my repeated derpiness with Bloom). If youre used to the PS2 version, you may find yourself using the Brush a lot more often than before! The Wii controls are not without their faults, though. You can whip the Brush out in a flash, draw something, and go back to what you were doing. Its also much quicker than in the PS2 version. Now, the motion controls take some getting used to, but once you have it down, it feels very natural and intuitive.

In fact, its the sort of thing the Wii was made for.

This seems like an obvious way to control such a thing. In the Wii version, the Brush is controlled (naturally) with the Wii Remote. You can hold down different buttons to make thicker or thinner lines, but basically its just hold down button, move stick. In the PS2 version, the Brush is controlled with the analog stick. The Celestial Brush controls get their own section, because the Brush is such a big part of the game. I dont know how well it works in the original, but it could hardly be worse! You will never be able to dodge in the direction you want to. The Fleetfoot though? UTTERLY FUCKING USELESS. The Wii Remote waggle can be temperamental, but its not so bad once you get used to it (its easiest if you use Rosaries). In the port, attacking is done by the dreaded Wii-mote waggle, and the Fleetfoot by the even worse Nunchuk waggle. In the original, attacking and the Fleetfoot God Technique are accomplished by a simple press of a button. This is the most obvious difference between the PS2 original and the Wii port.

You can play either one and still get the full Okami experience. The differences between them are inconsequential for the most part. As Ive mentioned a few times, there are two versions of this game: the original version for PS2, and the Wii port. Differences Between the Wii and PS2 Versions
