Personally, I played Okami (Wii). If you have a Wii, buy this game. You might want to wait until the fixed (sans-IGN-watermark) cover hits stores before you buy it, if that kind of thing bothers you, but definitely do pick it up.
The visuals are amazing. The original PS2 version had a "paper filter" which has been greatly toned down for this release-- some people dislike it, because it makes the game feel less 'real', however I love it because it lets the colors show through, and they are very vibrant.
The sound is good. The music isn't really that memorable, but it's suiting. There is no voice acting, which kinda sucks in some of the longer cutscenes. The biggest problem I have with a sound is a single sound effect, but it's not a very big deal.
The gameplay is simply great. It's essentially a Zelda-clone; but it also has more than enough originality to stand as a quality game on it's own. The Celestial Brush on Wii is a delight to use, simply press the B button, get your cursor where you want it, press the A button, and draw. It's much quicker than the PS2 version, if slightly less accurate. There's only one problem with the controls, and that's for a move that you are never required to use, or even get.
It's just an incredibly fun game. Unless you absolutely hate Zelda or something, you're going to love this game. If you love Zelda, Okami is practically an homage to it.
