Okami Cheats For PS2

Okami is one of those games you don't get to see often, especially because its graphics. In its early development stages, the idea was to use a photorealistic style, as most games try to go as close as possible to reality these days but, in the end, the guys at Clover Studio decided to use the sumi-e style, highly influenced by the Japanese watercolor and wood carving art of the Ukiyo-e style, as you can see in the screenshot below...

Obviously, we're not here to talk about art, so leaving the looks aside, we have some Okami cheats for PS2 waiting to be discovered. This is one more reason to hold on to your old PlayStation 2, since Okami has been released in September 2006 in Northern America, and February 2007, in Europe, but the Wii version has just arrived in the first half of this year!

While this may not be what you expect, it's the best thing I could get, so here you have the list of unlockable items in Okami, and the things you should do to unlock them:

Since I am an avid antiques collector, I will surely remember about Okami and the PlayStation 2 10 years from now, and add them to my shopping list...
