So I just finished Okamiden. Simply put, this was the best game I have played since the original Okami. The characters...the plot...everything was simply...awesome. A good long game, as well, just like Okami. There were a few things I wish they'd included, but the game is extraordinarliy good as it is. I really hope they come up with a third, because there are still many questions left unanswered.

Was nice to see Ammy and Shiranui again, too. And the interaction and emotion between the characters actually moved me in some parts.
I would strongly suggest anyone who has a DS to go and get this game. You don't even need to have played Okami to get the plot.
