Replay – Okami
After watching this week's Replay you will believe wolves can be artists. We take an extensive look at Okami, an action/adventure title from Clover Studio that follows a magical wolf named Amateratsu through a world inspired by Japanese folklore. Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard has no problems sliding into Amateratsu's fur, and wastes no time showing us how deadly this wolf can be with a paint brush and black ink.
Rather than looking at the original PlayStation 2 version, which released on April 20, 2006, we dive into the Wii port developed by Ready at Dawn. This version is arguably more known, largely because of the mistake on the cover art which is discussed in Ben Hanson's amazing documentary about Ready at Dawn.
After ending the segment on a typical Replay note (think failure), Matt Miller gets nostalgic, and then we challenge Bryan Vore to play one of the hardest games of all time. We hope you enjoy the episode, gang! Leave us your thoughts on Okami and Dan Tack's thoughts about movies in the comments section below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
