is Okami better on the wii or ps2

[kupo3000]

Even though the controls for the Japanese Wii version were acceptable, I'll stick with PS2 for the moment.
Capcom could re-release a classic controller compatible version with the credits and original voices.

I say get it for the Wii, PS2 is an outdated system.

PS2 isn't dead yet. Also, date =/= quality.

I also think you should get the PS2 one, i've only played a demo of the wii okami in a local game store. I was really dissappointed. The wii version pulled okami down to mediocrity.

Played both versions, the PS2 one was way better from every aspect. Blah blah about the paint brush accuracy, it was horribly done and such a bitch to do on the Wii to the point where it was frustrating. The controls in general were horribly done because they required precision which is damn near impossible in order to chain attack combos. I played through most of it as a rental on the PS2, I only played about 20 minutes of it on the Wii before I got so pissed off with it that I deleted it from my hard drive.

That is a ridiculous reason.

Don't let the good games fool you. All outdated systems are bad.


Serious: "Outdated" = low price

Wii is just a GameCube with motion controls.

Not exactly, but still. You can't really pretend the Wii isn't just as outdated.

eg. Painting a straight line on the wii is harder than pushing the analog to the right.

Quoting myself !

Look at the video, at position 1:44
on the wii-side, the player "try" to make a straight line, which fail

It's all but straight, so it's not working.

You hold Z on the nunchuck to draw straight lines.

Wii version is superior

That's not the only problem on wii version, there are also the buttons, the camera, paint brush accuracy (not only straight lines), battles, no more loading screen's mini game.
People posting are giving information on why they preferred PS2 over wii, while Wii fanboys only answer the poll or says "wii is better, PS2 is outdated" which is not a good argument, without explaining the reason why it's better. He asked abut the game, not the system, and remember that Snes games were better than PS1 adaptation, even if the Snes was outdated etc. Older system are not always the worst.


Anyway, he already stated that he chose to play the PS2 version.

 

[PrinceNOOB]

The ps2 version is better of course.

 

[Inunah]

I've never played the PS2 version, but from videos I've seen they're almost exactly the same.

The Wii version, obviously, has some edited controls. I had little trouble with them, and it actually felt like I was drawing a brush stroke on the screen, rather than if I were playing on a PS2....

FYI: I must be a god. I made straight lines without the Z button.

Anyway, back on topic.... The Wii version is good if you don't like using mem cards, which can be lost.

Without reading much of the thread lol - interesting question!!
I've played both too, and of course have fondest memories of the PS2 version...... it's probably the better version - as has been mentioned the controls on the Wii version feel rather gimmicky (I'd say ONLY if you've played the PS2 version) etc etc....
HOWEVER, and a pretty big however it is too, if you have both your PS2 & Wii hooked up to a HDTV I'd pick the Wii version in an instant.... make no mistake ANYTHING on the PS2 looks frankly horrific on a HDTV..... hell, even my old Dreamcast, N64 don't look as horrible as the PS2 does on it....
Otherwise, PS2 version! The Wii version doesn't 'suck' in comparison... it's just the slightly inferior version is all..
