Game description: In Okami, the player takes the role of the mythical sun goddess Amaterasu, in the form of a wolf. Her task is to restore color (or 'life') to the world by destroying the monsters who have stolen it. Since Amaterasu is a diety, there are naturally people who worship her and people who don't. The more people who worship her (as a result of her restoring color and doing other good deeds for them), the more powerful she becomes.
Set sometime in classical Japanese history, the game combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles.
Ōkami was one of the last PlayStation 2 games selected for release prior to the release of the PlayStation 3. Although it suffered from poor sales initially, the game became immensely popular afterwards and received critical acclaim, earning the title of IGN's 2006 Game of the Year. The Wii version has earned similar praise, though the motion control scheme has received mixed reviews.

Test configurations on Windows:

Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U	?	AMD Athlon II x2 245 OC 3.55ghz NVIDIA 9600GT	0.9.7 3113 beta	GSdx r3063	SPU2-X r3117 1.4.0 Lilypad r2930 0.1.0	The game runs fine without any problems. If you can't run the game in full speed, try turning on speed hacks, but it may break the game.	CKL
NTSC-U	?	i5-460m mobile Dual core CPU; 2.53-2.8Ghz ATI HD Radeon Mobility (laptop) 5650m	0.9.8 r4600 stable	GSdx (sse4.1) r4600	SPU2-X r4600m 1.4.0 Lilypad r4500 0.10.0	Running the game with EE Cyclerate and VU Cycle Stealing both at 3 will give major slowdown. Change to EE=2 and VU=1 giving normal speeds. I managed to get full speed from an i5 mobile CPU and ATI 5650m mobility GPU. Ran full speed with very little slowdown at 2xScaled resolution with Fast CDVD loading, texture filtering and all available speedhacks on.	Alexzander
NTSC-U(?)	?	Intel Core2Duo P7550 @2.26Ghz NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB	?	GSdx ?	SPU2-X ? Lilypad ?	Managed to get fullspeed with GDx Hardware settings, custom resolution 800x800 (still fullspeed but with major slowdown in certain areas with 2xNative settings). Very minor slowdown in large maps (Shinshu Field/Taka Pass) and cutscenes. Minor bugs encountered, but none too severe.	Rovescio
PAL-E	Windows	Intel Core i5-3570K AMD Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5	1.2.1 r5875 (stable)	GSdx32-SSE4-r5875	SPU2-X r5875 Lilypad r5875	Everything works fine with Anisotropic Filtering at 4x and MSAA 4x. If you start the game in PAL mode (50Hz), the game have big "optical" problems, like you haven't (or have) glass on your eyes. In NTSC mode (60Hz) the game runs perfect.	Turbo25
NTSC-U	Windows 7 64-Bit	Intel i7 @ 3.4Ghz Sapphire R9 290X 4GB	1.2.1 r5873	GSdx 10 (Hardware)0.1.16 r5875	SPU2-X r5875 Lillypad 0.11.0 r5875	The game runs extremely well at 6X native resolution. The game has no graphical or audio glitches. This game looks better than the PS3 re-release. Bios v 2.0 was used.	Zrooney
NTSC-U	Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit	Intel Core i3 550 @ 3.2Ghz ATI Radeon HD 5670 512mb	1.2.1 r5875	ZeroGS 0.97	SPU2-X r5875 Lillypad 0.11.0 r5875	•SPEEDHACKS:Preset lvl 2 Disable stencil buffer no color clamping disable depth updates no target CLUT fast update Partial targets Partial depth Resolve hack #1 specular highlights •PERFORMANCE:same problem as God Hand with ZeroGS Runs slow in some zones and has a lot of lighting problem the specular highlights in combination to the others speedhacks listed above Brings the game up to 60 Stable FPS and fixes lighting bugs but it also disables some effects one of this unfortunately it's the parchment now it just shows a black piece of paper i have found no fix for this ill post the GSdx results later in the "update" Part down below •UPDATE:	Razor96
