Okage: Shadow King For PS2
Courtesy of SonyIn order to save his sister from a curse that makes her talk like a freak, Ari has to let a spirit named Stan take over his shadow. It's just his luck that Stan is really the Evil King Stan, who has serious plans to conquer the world. Since Stan is just a shadow, he's gonna make Ari do it for him. Does Ari's sis owe him big or what?

Okage: Shadow King is a
role-playing game where you control Ari and all of the weird friends he meets. It's up to you to make new friends,
solve puzzles,
fight creatures and deal with Evil King Stan without becoming Stan's
mindless servant.
Okage: Shadow King Style
PS2 graphics and some totally funky designs fill
Okage: Shadow King with crazy looking creatures and wacky characters. It's a cool look. The tunes are rocking too - they entertain your ears while you fight the forces of evil.
Okage: Shadow King Cool Characters
The coolest thing is
Evil King Stan. He's a twit of a
ghost who whines when people don't recognize his "overwhelming evil power." Making fun of him is more fun than teasing your little brother. The rest of the characters are weird too, but Stan's the best.
Okage: Shadow King Problems
There are a few problems with
Okage: Shadow King. When you change areas the screen goes all fuzzy and will make your eyes water. It's a pain until you get used to it. Also, you don't have much control over the story - you can say whatever you want but you're ignored unless you give the answer the game wants.
How Hard Is Okage: Shadow King?
It's easy to learn the controls and the enemies are wimps.
