I loved the art style used within the game and was happy when I came across the art book.
Even before you open it you get the feeling that you are in for a special treat, it reads in traditional Japanese way, meaning from left to right.
It is crammed with images, from character design (ones used in the game and ones left out) to set designs. There is very little technical stuff in the book which was what I was expecting seeing as this was a game.
Reading the book you get the feeling that you are looking through somebodies sketchbook with comments written next to the drawings, you can feel the designers excitement and passion about the project.
Unlike most art books I've read the images are presented on a textured paper reminiscent of the game itself.
This would be a great book for people who played the game and fell in love with the art style that was used.
People who have not played the game will still find it enjoyable yet don't expect there to be any variations of style used. The style of the game was kept through out the whole design process.

I knew the art book would be good considering the game was made entirely with an art style. I never expected it to be this good though.
its a really thick book thats literally filled with gorgeous art.
I recommend this to anyone who loved the game and those who just like art in general.

Ages ago I bought the Japanese copy and with all the Japanese characters it looked the part. Finally its in English and I can understand it! This book is jam packed with drawings and the quality is brilliant. It goes into lots of detail with pictures of every character, every scene and enemy plus story artwork and concepts. If you love this style and love this game this book is a must! and a bargain too!

This big book is absolutely packed with Okami artwork. Beautiful designs in full colour on good quality paper and in English. I was waiting, what seemed like forever, for this to be translated and available here in the UK. And now it is. A great addition to your collection, if you enjoy game artbooks as I do.
