Closing Comments Okamiden has all the right ingredients for a spectacular adventure game, though it never quite reaches the heights of the titles it seeks to emulate. Even so, it shows tons of promise, and has me really excited for the future of this franchise in the making. All in all, there is nothing lacking in this package. An engaging tale, memorable characters, epic boss battles, and cute wolf puppies-- it’s all here and it feels great. Read more

15 March 20117.5/10Okamiden sets out to rise above the shadow of Okami, but it never achieves that goal. It's just too similar to the PlayStation 2 original, so it struggles to establish an identity of its own. But despite the familiar ground it travels, this is still a good game that captures the unmitigated pleasure of bringing life to a dying land. Read more
- Gorgeous artistic design, Sympathetic, well-written characters, Engaging boss fights, Lots of hidden secrets.
- Ho-hum combat and puzzles, Reuses most of Okami's abilities, Touch-screen controls aren't always responsive.

25 March 20118.5/10Many years ago, in the land of Nippon, legends arose of a great power whose form took the form of a wolf... which in turn took its form in the video game Okami . A cult hit from Clover Studios, Okami was first released on the PS2 and then the Wii, whose motion-sensing capabilities did well to serve the game's unique paintbrush mechanic. After Clover became no more, it was feared that we would never see a continuation of the series. Until now. Read more

30 April 20119.0/10Still, while Okamiden might not provide a significant challenge, it’s still a fantastic game, with an outstanding atmosphere. The combination of the touchscreen controls, clean and inspired art direction and cute characters makes it an excellent addition to any DS library. Read more
