You could walk into a museum in Japan, look at some wall scrolls and artwork from early feudal Japan, and you’d get an idea of the art direction for “Okami”. ![]() The higher resolution does make the game look sharper and in my book that is a good thing. But with the cel-shaded style of the game it didn’t really need better textures. I didn’t notice any dramatic improvement to textures or anything like that. Okami’s original graphics were truly artwork and the addition of 1080p resolution only helps make the game look even better. With a fairly detailed and well done cel-shading engine, Clover has created a truly hand-drawn appearance that accompanies everything the game tries to accomplish gameplay-wise. Hands down, one of the biggest attractions in Okami are the graphics. With “Okami” you can tell the developers consciously decided to make something more than a game, and we should all feel a little luckier knowing that developers can get paid to make games like this. To say that many people were excited to see the almost hand-drawn and cel-shaded graphics would be an understatement. When Clover Studios broke off on its own I wondered what the heck could Capcom be thinking? Here was a studio packed with the talent that created great games like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil and Viewtiful Joe, and Capcom was letting them go out on there own! Well lucky for Capcom and for us they’ve contracted Clover for a good amount of titles and one of the first new Clover titles is “Okami”, a highly stylized game based on traditional Japanese mythos and solid “Zelda-style” gameplay. So rather than write two reviews for the same game, this review will take the original Gaming Trend review and add quoted sections that deal with the changes made to the HD version of Okami on the PS3. ![]() The game and our review holds up to this day and can easily speak for the greatness of Okami HD. Editors Note: This is a review of Okami HD on the PS3, Gaming Trend originally reviewed Okami on the PS2 way back when it was first released.
