-Awkward combat - slow, timed flicks of remote are required for consecutive hits; swing too fast and it's not recognized
-No motion-based fishing
-Issues can be overcome with practice
-Play PS2 version instead (apocalypse now?)

Yeah, I got near the end of Okami on the PS2, but held off on finishing it to do so on the Wii. Now with the unanimous chorus of Okami being better on the PS2, I think I'll skip the Wii version and just finish my current game on the PS2.

So wait, is the Okami(Wii) situation one of those where you'll only notice it's lacking if you've played it before on the PS2? You know what I mean?
I've never played it but thought about getting it for the Wii. But if you hardcore Wii guys are saying the reviews are bad then I won't even bother.

Interesting. I guess I'll see how this plays out.

It doesn't sound unplayable on the Wii just a bit tougher to control. I'm sick and tired of games that have inferior controls on the Wii and will just rebuy the version I was used to and still have a save halfway through. It will also be cheaper than the Wii version.
If I only had the Wii as an option I wouldn't have any problem buying it for the Wii. It is a great game and belongs in everyone's game collection.
